a new shop (at Bowditch)

Bullseye Bud · Posted: Wed Jun 20, 2007 10:04 am Post subject: a new shop (at Bowditch)

I’m planning on purchasing a full size store on Bowditch.

Any suggestions for what kind of a store to purchase?

I know that Elaria has an IM at Scrimshaw, that I’d rather not compete against.
Ship Yards are not for sale there, which is what I’d rather have.

That leaves: Apothecary, Tailor, Furniture, Weaver, and Distillery.

Any ideas (can be sent to be by PM or here).

Also, if you would like to be an mgr, let me know and I’ll think about it.

I've heard that you own/manage one of everything but apothecary...so maybe this is the time to get one? And I would love to manage it with you (if you explain to me what to do LOL) Very Happy

Tailor - large island will spawn greenies and have heavy population so that's lots of rack traffic. Easily accessible rack is a major advantage over stalls that the other shop types don't have. Cloth will also be available without the need to transport. Get a good location, load the rack with cheap to mid price items and I think you'll have a cash cow.

I have had a couple of Apothecary stalls in the past, but not a store.

An Apothecary works well with a Weaver.
A Weaver works well with a Tailor (and shipyard).

DaggerDarla wants a Tailor there, I found out.
I don’t see a need for a weaver there for I really don’t want to transport hemp or be in competition with the crew stall at Admiral.

Now, maybe, I could become friendly with Elaria, for maybe she might want to make more CB’s?

Apothecary - and I'll be Your general Witch Doctor!!! (exclamation is a result of my latest madness witch is to achieve all bottles at one time, filled with quicksilver...)

Now seriously, if You open an apothecary I would gladly work in it, but after summer holiday (since I probably won't be able to play during those three months...)

If I was to get a Tailor, would any of you mind running cloth to it as part of managing it?

I can if you provide instructions and I may need charting (until I mem the route) Very Happy

I have stalls on Bowditch and I'd be willing to help. I'd suggest to go with a tailor... but I have no real reasons.

I'll stick to my usual and agree 100% with Elaria.

I also say go with the tailor stall.

I would be willing to help out with some cloth running. I too would like some guide lines (price range / inventory range)
