Alchemy Factory Reputation Guide

Reputation in Alchemy Factory quietly controls how busy your shop feels. It is easy to miss, but once production scales, reputation starts doing real work in the background.

Alchemy Factory Reputation Guide

Reputation affects how many customers visit your shop. Higher reputation leads to more consistent customer traffic.

Reputation increases when items are sold through the Goods Tab. It is tied to selling behavior, not crafting or storage.

How Reputation Is Gained

Reputation is earned by selling items directly to customers.

Selling through the Goods Tab increases reputation over time. The game does not show exact numbers, but the behavior is consistent.

Selling a wider range of items helps maintain steady customer interest. If customers arrive and cannot buy what they want, they stop shopping.

What Hurts Reputation Flow

Reputation itself does not appear to drop instantly, but poor selling habits reduce its effect.

If your Goods Tab is missing items customers want, they leave without buying. This cancels out the benefit of having more visitors.

Selling only 1 or 2 items limits how effective reputation becomes. Variety matters more than pushing a single product.

Practical Selling Strategy

A simple approach works best.

• Sell most items you can reasonably produce

• Keep Goods Tab stocked consistently

• Avoid empty listings during long production runs

Soap is commonly sold well and is used later in recipes, making it a safe dual purpose item. Many players sell nearly everything they make to keep reputation active.

Reputation and Shop Traffic

Reputation appears to influence how many customers visit your shop over time. More visitors means more total sales, assuming inventory is available.

Money focused upgrades help only if customers can actually buy items. Reputation and inventory availability work together.

Multiplayer Considerations

In multiplayer, reputation is shared indirectly through the shop.

If one player empties the Goods Tab or over specializes, it affects everyone’s income flow. Balanced selling helps keep shared progression smooth.

Final Blurb

Reputation in Alchemy Factory comes from selling items, not grinding quests or upgrades. Keep the Goods Tab stocked, sell a variety of items, and customers keep coming. Simple system, easy to neglect, surprisingly important.
