Chocolatier: General Information
General Tips
* Haggle often, however, if you haggle the wrong way, prices go up, not down.
* Do not sell your products straight away, travel around and sell when the price is just right.
* Too much stock that is not used will rot sooner or later.
* Make as many as you can in the factory, miss only to slow down the machine if you cannot get many more targets.
* Have a plan of what you are going to make, where you are going and what to buy.
* Shop around. Never shop in the same place over and over again.
* Go to the inns and bars often, they provide advice and news on the price of materials in all the cities accessable to you.
* Remember, you can always retry the factory mini-game if you stuff up. You can also reset your results.
* Having few or no misses in the factory can increase production by a few units.
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.
