Cups and Shots of Booze
Posted: Mon Jul 13, 2015 3:58 am
May we please add recipes to brewing that let us convert casks or bottles to cups and shots of the various drinks?
I think this would make selling drinks a lot more useful both as a brewer/innkeep and as a buyer/hostess.
- No more group events where people are slurping booze directly from casks! Though yes, I've gotten around this in the past by using a cup short description, and others have added emotes when they drink.
- Fewer objects floating around in game! I spend a lot of time replacing cups that never make it back to my tavern, in spite of a permanent mood asking people to put them in the empties bin, the occasional WHO title asking the same, and even IC messengers sent after people when the empties list doesn't match up to my sales receipts. I understand that people forget, or they don't want to waste unfinished liquor before leaving, but it ends up being a lot of hassle for something I'm not actually making much if any profit on. NPC drinks are usually really cheap and while cup objects tend to hold more liquor, I still have to price drinks as low as possible to encourage sales.
- One step closer to better cost:profit ratios on a marketable craft! Related to the above point, the cost and trouble that goes into all the different parts of making a drink isn't necessarily covered by what you actually get paid for the drink itself, especially when considering the fact that various liquors have different sizes.
TL;DR; May we please have brewing recipes that allow us to convert drinks to cup and shot sizes? When people buy drinks, most often it's in a cup from a tavern, occasionally as a bottle for gifts or picnics, or casks for large events. Adding these recipes would be an immense help in making brewing a marketable skill.
