General Tips
-If you sell too much of one type of chocolate, you'll saturate the market
and prices will plummet. Change up your recipes every few months so that
this doesn't happen.
-Don't buy ingredients you don't need. Any ingredients that aren't being
used in production will deteriorate in storage and be lost.
-If you haggle with a merchant too often, he or she might get mad at you and
actually raise prices. It's best to reserve haggling for when you need to
buy super-expensive ingredients like truffle powder.
-Before you can create more sophisticated chocolates, you'll have to upgrade
each of your factories as follows: Squares - $25,000. Infusions - $45,000.
Truffles $75,000.
Getting Quests
There are two types of quests in the game. The first is quests given by
regular characters who are always at one particular location, such as Felix
Baumeister at Queen's Park Savannah in Trinidad or Nicholas Schaeffer in the
City Library in New York. Be sure to visit the chocolate shop, saloon and
any special locations each time you visit a new port, because you never know
when someone might have a job for you. The same person might have more than
one quest to offer, so be sure to check back regularly.
The second type of quest occurs randomly, either while you're en route to
a port, or when you click on a saloon or point of interest within the port.
Characters like Sarah Hoffenpepper, Cyrus Rush, Habib Ialu and Bernard
Shintero pop up all over the world with important advice, quests, and
recipes and items for sale.
If you're in the middle of a quest, click on the Messages tab for a
reminder of what you need to do next. Note: You can only accept one quest at
a time, so once you've committed to doing something, don't bother trying to
find new quests until your task is finished.
