Summary

With enough Brass, the apothecary can be purchased by interacting with the ledger sitting on the shop counter.

Once purchased the previous owner will leave, gifting you any items that were in stock at the time. These will be in your apothecary stock cupboard.

Interact with the sign outside to open and close your store. The store will automatically close if you leave the region and have no worker employed.

Apothecaries

The aim of running an apothecary is to serve customers' needs, whether they are poorly, afflicted with more 'magical' maladies or just after a little pick-me-up.

You must ask what their problem is and use their symptom descriptions to try to work out what Traits they are afflicted with, then use your own estimations or the helpful Medical Tome to work out how to counter the things they want to fix.

Each Trait has a counter-trait, and over time you will unlock more cure recipes and knowledge to help you best treat each patient.
