👉 A Reagent Shop is a specialized store that sells alchemy reagents.
ℹ️ Description
A Reagent Shop is a GnollHack-specific shop type. Unlike a general store or a potion shop, it specializes in selling ingredients used in alchemy. The shopkeeper offers a variety of raw materials that players can use to brew potions or craft items.
🗺️ Generation
Reagent shops can be generated randomly in place of a normal shop in the Dungeons of Doom. Like other shops, they require a room with exactly one door and no stairs.
🏆 Strategy
- Alchemy: The primary purpose of a reagent shop is to supply players with the necessary materials for alchemy. If you have the skills and recipes, you can buy cheap raw ingredients and transform them into valuable potions, resulting in significant savings or even a profit if you sell the potions back.
- Price ID: As with all shops, you can use the reagent shop to price-identify items you find in the dungeon by dropping them and seeing what the shopkeeper offers.
