Potion Notes As An Item

WoS Marlow 3 months ago updated by Medea Darkwaters 3 months ago 1

I love the concept of brewing/potions, however I see a lot of initial interest dying off when its so difficult to brew potions, get recipes, and even just obtain potion notes.

You can get notes if you spin the wheel - Maybe! And not very many, very often. You can get one if you find the crown floating around, but that's still not many at any one time. And you can purchase some, just like you can purchase chocolate frog cards. But there's no actual item for potion notes on site.

I think it could be great if potion notes were an 'item', in the same way chocolate frog cards are, before they're opened. Personally, I think it could be a great gift for a HoH to gift for point milestones, and could help get more people into the brewing system.


I don't see this as being counter to the idea that some can be purchased with real money - I actually feel like it can factor into it. Chocolate frog opening and collecting is easy to get into right away, but brewing sometimes feels like there's some barriers to entry, especially when someone is new to the site and doesn't have much money to spin the wheel, or be able to afford a bunch of cauldrons to blow up. If we offer a few more chances to get notes, it could allow folks to get into brewing earlier, and highlight it as a fun function of the site!

Absolutely love this idea, it's so hard to keep users interested in the feature, especially new ones considering the cost.
