I'm sure many individuals would like to collect and acquire the new Alchemist items. However, while trying to restock there, I'm noticing a grave issue with just trying to acquire items. Not many items restock, very low quantities of said items, and the amount of traffic there is intense. Most items on-site from shops are vendable, or acquired another way, but so far these don't seem to be.

My suggestion is a chance bag that gives you 2 or 3 items from the Alchemy shop. The raw ingredients, not the completed crafted items. We have other chance bags that give a wide array of items such as Gifts of Fashions Past, and Lumineve Gift.

Just throwing the idea out there :)

i'm hoping that the store will stay here after the event is done so by then it might be easier to get the items keeping fingers crossed

I don't see why this would need to go in the CS? I wouldn't pay much CSC for 2-3 items, that are r70 and below.

Why not have it in the TS, crystal shop, ect....

Decent idea though, I'd grab one if it wasn't in the CS.

I too suck at restocking and haven't managed to grab any :( I'm not sure if I like the idea of chance bags though, 'cause I assume it'd be a Cash Shop item, and I'd rather not spend CSC on those XD

I'm hoping, like that the shop will stay open after the event, maybe open only to zombies since it's in the Underground district, and hope that after the event there will be less ppl online/more ppl curing = less competition for restocking, and I might be able to restock something XD

All I've managed to get from the Philosopher's store is layer cards for layers that don't have an item yet. No luck getting any of the coveted items. Another way of getting them would be cool.

- If they were vendable, I'd be happy, but so far they aren't. I feel like this is an overly selective group. On top of that, the amount of items you need to craft. A token, a tincture, and then sometimes a slot to get it more specified.

vendable is a better option i have to say =/ or a shop only for zombies when the event is done like or a few in the crystal shop, that would make me happy xD

Yeah, I'd love it if they vend. Even if I don't end up vending them, at least the shop prices would go down. Though I have a feeling they're supposed to be rare and hard to get? I dunno, I like the idea, but not how hard it is to do. I haven't seen a single token restock (I've seen some layer cards/tinctures but haven't been fast enough to get them...)

What I'd also love, is if they'd be a reward for some event-related game or quest! Like the bug-squishing game for example, I'd love it if that game gave a alchemy prize (it'll actually make me play that game again, I hate how realistic those bugs look XD). Just some way of earning them other than restocking X.x

- Ooh, that would be awesome if we got them for prizes! I just really think they're too scarce for how many items there are. Some of the combinations are 50/50 chances :/

yeah, i agree, vending them would help to low the prices. there aren't suppose to be rare. i've restocked 2 cards, normal and common. it's just the fuzz the reason they are so expensive =/ everyone wants to be the first one

plus, i agree on the achievements. i created a plushie and i thought i would get one... but no :(

i'm hoping that the game will stay too, and you can get prizes and points and sp from it, like Matlal's Jewels

It seems like this shop is going the way of Subeautique, and I definitely get the feeling that it won't be going anywhere after the plot is finished... my guess is that it will end up like Port Plunder, where non-zombies have to do something to get access. I wish it would stock more, like a "welcome" sale or something, but I just don't really see it being treated any differently than SBQ.

[edit] Edited to say that the items ARE being given out as quest prizes, I saw that someone got a layer card from Pete on the B&C boards. (same as SBQ items.)
