I have been away from Subeta for several years and decided to come back. A lot has changed and I am still getting back into the groove of things. Could someone tell me what the layer cards are for from the Philosopher's Store and where do you do craft things with the layer cards, what you do with the Alchemy Tokens and the Tincture please?

The tokens are used to create a selection of items in the Alchemist's Alchove, found in the Underground (it's the stove looking thing to the right of the white Philosopher's Store on the Underground map).

You'll need to wear a zombie skin to access it.

The tinctures are items you can use in addition to a token to select a particular color. So for example if you really want a blue beanbag, you can select a blue tincture and a beanbag token and get one of the three or four blue beanbag options. Using a beanbag token without a tincture means you could get any of the beanbags - white, brown, green, blue, etc.

Layer cards work with the Wardrobe Token, so you can more easily specify what type of item you want by its layer (background, chest piece, wig, etc).

Every time you create an item at the Alchemist's, you'll go up a couple of level points. The higher level you are, the more stuff you can make as some items are tied to level. Subetalodge can show you what items are available.

That helps a lot . One last question, how do I get a zombie skin?

You can only unlock zombie skins during the Survival event, which is held in February.

If you don't have one, there are sometimes people who will offer to make the items for you at the place, as long as you provide the ingredients.

If you've been gone for that long, chances are you left before the change where zombie infections were made into wardrobe skins. Check the Skins tab in your wardrobe to see if you have any zombie skins redeemed (subetalodge has a list).

If you do, put one on, save your av, then go to the Underground. If you don't, you'll have to wait for next Pandemic in February to get infected. When an infection has run its course, it turns into a skin and can be taken off and will remain in your wardrobe at that point where you can take it on and off at will.

Thanks !
