Upgrades[]
The Apothecary may be upgraded to make processes a percentage faster. The equation for a Crafting Item's new speed after a certain upgrade is Original_Time * (100 / (0.95 + Upgrade_No * 0.05)), with "Original_Time" referring to the Crafting Item's default processing time, and "Upgrade_No" referring to the level that the structure is at after the upgrade.
The Apothecary can be upgraded even when it is active. A random amount of crystals (a mix of Crystals, Polished Crystals and Carved Crystals, sometimes only one of a certain type) is required as well as coins. As the upgrade gets higher, the chances of getting a more expensive mix of Crystals is higher.
After upgrading, the selected Structure will run faster, and XP will be earned as well, the amount dependent on the difficulty of the combination of crystals.
Crystals + 100 Coins = 5% faster total.
Name Origin[]
The Apothecary is named after the term "apothecary," which means a medical professional who "formulates and dispenses materia medica to physicians, surgeons and patients."
Notes[]
- It takes 493
to unlock all queue slots in one Apothecary. - One of the Apothecary's items, the Vitamin Pill, has the longest guaranteed waiting time out of all of the other Crafting Items at sixteen hours. This includes items produced by the Wondermine, whose times may vary depending on the elemental number of the monster used. (Note that Glitter, Spring, and Copper do not have guaranteed waiting times as they do not have a 100% chance of being being acquired with any monster).
- The recipe of the Vitamin Pill is rather logical; Pumpkin is a good source of Vitamin A, lemons are an excellent source of Vitamin C, and apples are also considered healthy. Many pills contain microcrystalline cellulose, which makes the pill crumble as soon as it is in contact with water. This allows the medicine to be absorbed rather quickly. In addition, microcrystalline cellulose can be made from wood, hence it is also a part of the recipe.
- Another one of the Apothecary's items, the Bandage, appears more like a Band-Aid that has two sticky ends and is used for small cuts, rather than looking like an actual bandage, or a strand of wool dressing.
- The Ice Pack's Experience cannot be determined because it is only unlocked once the player reaches the maximum level (level 50) when earned Experience is no longer shown. This is the only Crafting Item whose Experience cannot be determined.
- Ice Pack's recipe has some form of logical sense: instead of ice pack gel, the Ice Pack uses ice, while instead of plastic, the Ice Pack uses silk, a thin material suitable for containing and at the same time letting as much heat transfer through.
