Potions

Ancient Potion

• Cost: 1 gold bar
• "The year of the trader/shall end a bit later."
• This potion extends the Trader year for your next Trader to 24 months. It is only available after a specific potion mixture. The Trader proceeds normally, except that you are told "for two years..." instead of "for one year...". Generosity lasts for 25 months instead of the normal 11 (confirmed 12/2012). It is not yet known what happens if the Trader gives you other things that last other than 12 months, if trader gives you gold bars the potion will stay till the next trader
• The Ancient potion is not stackable, if you already have an ancient potion and you get dark & aged (or any of the other ancient potion triggers) you will not get the message that you have discovered a new potion which she will offer you next visit. Instead she gives you 2 gold bars (confirmed by GV Mogway Lavendel December 2 2013)

Black Potion

• Cost: 10 gold bars
• "You trade away 10 gold bars for a black potion and quickly drink the entire vial. The air shimmers for a moment. You point at the sun. It turns dark, and begins to speed through the sky"
• During the same turn, there is a first sighting of the Trader in the kingdom. The black potion immediately triggers the next visit by the Trader in the kingdom you are in. This is not an 'extra' trader visit, it causes the next trader visit to begin immediately. In other words, if the trader is due in 30 or 40 hours, he will come again now, and if he is due in the next couple of hours, he will come now and the scheduling will be reset for his next visit after this. So, this potion summons the next trader visit. (There is still no confirmation that anyone but a monarch can use the Black Potion.)

So far, we've noticed that the only prerequisite is that you need to be King or Queen to be offered a Black Potion. However, further research needs to be done to see if certain conditions effect which potions are offered by the Alchemist (eg. amount of gold held, number of acres, rank, etc.). (I.F Camelot)

Blue Potion

• Cost: 1 gold bar
• "You trade away a gold bar for a blue potion and quickly drink the entire vial. The air shimmers for a moment. You see a wavering image of a dark sun, travelling east to west across a yellow sky."
• When the Trader comes...."He refuses to tell you what you will receive, but with the blue potion coursing through your veins, you understand it will be free. Will you accept?"

Bronze Potion

• Cost: 3 gold bars
• "You feel determined."
• This potion summons the next step in the 'Book- Key- Translation' sequence. If you have the Key, it will cause the Abbot to translate the Book next time. If you have the Book, it will cause Fortune Teller to give you Key next Festival. If you have not received the Book, the Trader will have it next time you meet him. -DP

Bubbling Potion

• Cost: 1 gold bar
• "You trade away a gold bar for a bubbling potion and quickly drink the entire vial. The air shimmers for a moment. You feel very lucky."
• Gold windfall of 13.8 mil - @ 1073 personal acres = Cost of 3 acres roughly

Dark Green Potion

• Cost: 1 gold bar
• "The year ends and taxes are due for most. However you are still under the effects of the dark green potion. You pay nothing"
• 5 years of tax amnesty

Draught of Quintain

• Cost: 1 gold bar
• "You trade away a gold bar for "Draught of Quintain" and quickly drink the entire vial. The air shimmers for a moment. Your muscles flex and you feel knowledgeable, 2 times over"
• This allows you to participate in 2 Festival joust without the cost of an acre each time. At the joust screen it says "you still have Draught of Quintain circulating through your muscles, so you need not build a practice field"
• The potion doesn't enhance the chances of winning a joust.
• Whilst under the influence of one draught of Quintain, I purchased another (with having only participated in one joust entry since my original purchase) The HUD said the same as above except I now felt knowledgeable 3 times over, instead of 2.

Draught of Stentor

• Cost: 2 gold bars
• Allows you to send a "message" to your downline via the HUD. Click for "[picasaweb.google.com/Princess.Kincess/TERelatedPictures#5330329534038690914 Post-Purchase Screen]" and "[picasaweb.google.com/Princess.Kincess/TERelatedPictures#5330329594400589138 Offer Screen]" Snapshots.
• Notes: You get the offer often (didn't keep track--maybe 3-5 turns?) until you use it (I waited 2 days); limited to 70 characters (including spaces); type your message in local chat (appears on HUD in brackets--like an acre give), then click "Yes" to lock in the message. Click for HUD's "[picasaweb.google.com/Princess.Kincess/TERelatedPictures#5330329687045117186 Before]" and "[picasaweb.google.com/Princess.Kincess/TERelatedPictures#5330066228157552274 After]" Snapshots. BUT, Beware: IF DOWNLINE MEMBERS ARENT ACTIVELY ONLINE, THEY WONT SEE IT (does not appear when they log in later). And, uh, ya don't wanna accidentally click yes to the wrong message because you're just chatting!
• Opinion: Seems a waste of 2 bars... unless a LOT of downline is online/watching and you need to get a very brief message out fast, but don't have Groups or a mass mailer gadget.
• Opinion: This could be useful if you need to give an acre (generosity or fortune teller).
