>go to heavy grade gun shop
>ask for a bazooka
>owner says no, you'll just kill yourself
It's the same thing

This. The traveller was just obviously too weak for the potion seller's potions. The potion seller made the potions, he knows better than some retard knight

He could just sell him a Knight-level potion
That guy is retarded

But his potions were too powerful. Enough of these games.

Knight was a weakling. His potions were for the strongest.

>Selling potions at a shop only for for beasts or dragons, neither of which use potion shops

He was just a lying sack of jew elf shit. Anyone siding with the potion seller is a corporate cocksleeve.

This, maybe he didn't even had potions and just made up the story

If the traveler were stronger he wouldn't have been in need of the potion seller's strongest potions.

Business Ethics, Potion Seller was absolutely in the right to deny his services to someone who will be irreversibly harmed by them.

Why do you need the potions when you are already of the strongest beings

he was an artist. It's not about using the potions, it's alchemical proof of concept

>the knight was asking for his strongest potions
Clearly that doesn't matter because if he had potions fit for the knight he would have offered them instead of telling him to go somewhere else.

This meat is raw.

But the knight is not of the strongest, he is of the weakest and the potion seller's potions could do everything a knight can. Casual.

>Seller knows his craft well, and advises the knight that his potions are too strong for him
>Knight keeps arguing with him
Why? The knight was completely in the wrong here

k***ghts will fight over anything

The potion store is probably just a money laundering scheme anyway

No, he didn't sell him his STRONGEST potions. The knight clearly doesn't know how alchemy works and was just thinking with his purse. The potion seller was smart enough to see the Knight had no idea what he was talking about so he refused the request.

I always interpreted it as the Potion Seller testing the Knight. Basically calling him a weakling bitch boy so the Knight would go out and get stronger with hard work and dedication instead of simply taking a shortcut and using a potion

>seller knows his craft well
>is incapable of making potions of varying strength
The seller is either a shitty craftsman or he's a middle man who got ripped off by the actual alchemist.

Where do you think dragons and beasts buy their potions when they need to fight other dragons and beasts?
Yes, but if the knight asked for potions of his level, maybe the potion seller would have someting for his level.

>all this fags siding with the merchant
Oy vey

There are magical shops in where they only sell shit that's worth thousands of gold per item. You think you can just buy a Potion of Storm Giant for some paltry sum of money? It requires a master alchemist.

Potion Seller was in the wrong
He should have specified on his shopsign that he doesn't sell potions for regular humans
He only wasted time for the knight and himself

Why the potion seller would put effort and time crafting weak potions for a market that is not worth it? Only stupid knights would buy weak potions and I bet they are cheap as fuck.

>t-the money comes from legit potion sales, I s-swear
Tell that to the judge, elf scum

They can't touch me if I drink a Potion of Storm Giant. 29 STR for one hour, let them try to arrest me.

Cheap and easy stuff is incredibly profitable in any business.
The salesman has the lowest mercantile skill I've ever seen.

>why create potions so powerful they could kill a ___
user, theres a name for those kinds of potions. The knight was just to dumb to read between the lines and because the knight is basically a cop the 'potion' seller doesnt want to get caught.

The potion seller was a high end curator. Although theres lots of profit in making cheap goods, there's also lots of profit in the expensive luxury goods market. Look at fancy italian cars or swiss watches. The potions are fancy items that allow rich people to flex on dragons by killing them.

What kind of retard do you have to be to not see the knight was demanding the STRONGEST potions and the potion seller was refusing to give him something that would literally kill him.

Potion seller specializes in high power potions, he doesn't bother with the weak stuff. Knight needed weak stuff and was at the wrong shop for it.

Fancy Italian car manufacturers make more money from merchandise and licensing than they do from the cars.

Heroes strong enough to slay dragons, dummy

>uh no, you gotta use weaker stuff until you get stronger
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOO I WANT STRONG POTS
>fucker you're too weak
>NO NO NO NOOOO

Why not buy one of his strongest potions and use it as a poison to kill your enemies? Maybe that's the intended use of the strongest potions.

>can't actually afford the materials needed to craft those potions even when you do reach the appropriate skill level
>if you did, said players already have their own potion seller friends who brew potions for them, or they do it themselves

>implying a lowly craftsman could read the level of a warrior
He's clearly just a shitelf with a vendetta against humans

Would've been far more shrewd for the seller to give him some weak shit and pass it off as his strongest, like people do with hot sauce

potion seller is too loyal to his craft to undersell his potions like that

His potions are only for the strongest and the knight was clearly not of the strongest he was of the weakest

t. butthurted knight

The knight was clearly suicidal and was intent on killing himself with the potions. Hence why he was breaking into tears when the potion seller would not give him his strongest potions.

the knight is lucky the potion seller didn't have him roughed up

You're a rascal.

People can buy the potions for their own beasts

>loyal to mixing flower roots with bat shit
Get a real craft

>shop advertises "bazookas for sale"
>if you actually ask for one they just refuse to sell to you without any proper reasoning as to why you specifically cannot buy it, only vague statements about it being "too strong"
user, until reading your post, I never considered a possible twist - that the potion seller does not even have any powerful potions and is bluffing to get the Knight to leave before he is shamed for his low-quality wares, as he knows the Knight would gain no real benefit from any stock he has.

>Knight asks for your strongest potions
>Instead of giving him the strongest potions you think he can handle, you decide to be a mong and think he wants your absolute strongest potions
This is logic equivalent to a shopkeeper in the starting area in an RPG selling the best gear in the game for them to only offer you max level gear

The potion seller will be lucky if the knight doesn't convince the guards to overlook the potion shop on their patrols.

It's easy to know the level of a moron that asks for your strongest potions like there's only one kind of effect.

He's running an exclusive shop for the most powerful people in the world. If the rumors spread that he's selling his craft to the common knights, he'd lose his regular customers and possibly his life if the trick is discovered.

and the guards will laugh at the newbie knight for reporting the potion seller the generals use

Damn, did he really kill his hand with liquid nitrogen?

Good thing that the potionless Knight will now die in the Battle, unable to exact his revenge

Even his weakest potions were too strong for the knight, the knight was simply of the weakest, an overconfident fool

Potion seller is a pussy boi and knight shoulda just fucked him up and took the potions

nothing kills the la beast
youtube.com/watch?v=IVTmMw4xn3o

The potion seller is obviously testing the Knight, through unbelievable shitposting no less. And since the knight can’t even handle that, what makes him think he can handle the potions?

in a world where everyone has the same ease of access to produce, market becomes near obsolete.

kind of a life lesson, or maybe a glimpse into the distant future

Who's to say the knight was too weak for even his weakest potions, the seller was just being a dick assuming that the knight was as weak as a peasant

Nothing about the scenario implies the seller is presenting his shop as anything other than just another typical item shop.

The knight was weak for not being patient, he allowed his emotions to get the better of him and he stormed off like a bitch

What if the Knight wanted to use the potions as weapons? He was going into battle afterall.

His potions can do anything the knight can, he knows the potency of his potions and he knows that a knight who NEEDS them to be successful in battle is undoubtedly of the weakest, even if peasants would be the very weakest

This, the knight couldn't even handle his nerves negotiating over the counter, let alone in a battle. It's obvious he was weak

If that were true the knight would have gone to a seller that sells stronger potions.

Your narrative is coming apart.

Yeah, that's why he's a general, or else the boss fight against him will be shit.

>you can't handle my potions
>NO ONE CAN

...Then why even have them for sale?

He should go to a poison seller instead, then.

The seller was delusional and hysterical, his sheer hatred for Knights in general made him go into a mad rage, I bet his potions were average-strength at best in reality. He is clearly enjoying denying and frustrating the Knight far too much for it to be a simple professional decision.

*my strongest potions
It's a dick waving contest between the alchemists where they try to make technically beneficial potions but so powerful they'd kill whoever drinks them.

>Why won't the pharmacy sell me cyanide?

> sell potion

Based retard

He sounds a pretty crappy potion maker if his potions do the opposite of heal you.

youtube.com/watch?v=bSiEB64FyF8
An emotional masterpiece

> liquid nitrogen
Imagine if he actually did that

The potion seller obviously assumed that the knight can't afford his potions and wanted him to fuck off, that's why his reasoning doesn't seem to make sense.

In a perfect world...knights would not exist.

neither would potion sellers, only bards

in a perfect world bards would have no tales to tell

No because the Potion Seller said that he didn't have potions for his level and to try somewhere else.

a paradoxical statement

>Knight: "Potion Seller, I'm going into battle, and I need your strongest potions."
>Potion Seller: "Of course, traveller, I have just the thing for you."
>Grabs some weak shit that won't kill his pussy ass.
>Completes transaction

Easy. It's not like the knight would have known any better anyway, and by the time he found out, he would probably be dead anyway. The potion seller gets paid, and gets the stupid bitchy knight out of his shop thinking he got what he wanted. It's a win-win.

>weak potion advertised as strongest thing you have, with your makers mark
Way to lose the confidence of your consumer base

I don't think the potion seller's regulars are the type of people to care about a lowly knight being taken advantage of.

Source on this?

Clearly this guy sells end-game level potions for level 100 humans. The knight was probably level 30 or something.

>heavy grade gun shop
Does such a place even exist in real life? Pretty sure any company that sells exclusively heavy grade weaponry wouldn't format themselves as a shop. For that matter I don't think bazookas can even be legally sold.

>a dragon entering a shop
I think that might be an impossibility for the obvious reason.

Cute dragon.

A knight who relies on the strongest potions to fight is no knight at all. He should meet his opponents in honourable combat, not just down a potion so his victory is assured. The knight is the true rascal, and the potion seller was right to insult him for his cowardice.

You can legally buy tanks in America.

That's not how it works.

You could legally buy heavier ordnance in the US, the problem is barely anyone would be willing to sell it to you.

There are people out there with working artillery pieces.

His potions were too potent for the knight.

If you sell a potion with warnings on the bottle you're not responsible for misuse.

> Actually legitimately unequivocally siding with a rascal
Knights protect the realm, the p*ti*n seller is a leech

Your butthole is a leech for semen

not operational tanks that can still fire munitions. You can buy what amounts to a prop of a tank that used to be a full fledged tank though.
You can even make one yourself at the hobbyist level.
But you won't be getting your hands on the payloads so what is the point.
I'd just build a Killdozer if I wanted the feel.

If the knight did indeed protect the realm he should be able to get access to free potions from his patron for his fealty. Since he doesn't have access to that it is assumed he has not actually defended the realm once.

guards defend the realm, knights are larping nobles that think they can toss around their money for the best items

he sells them to plenty of other more capable warriors

>potion requires you to be level 100 to use it
>there's a level 99 cap

What's even the point?

how the fuck is he a leach making a product and selling it?
a product that helps the knights

to make the developer smile

same reason the secret optional boss will be lvl 108 when the max is 99/100.
Just to make you upset and make the dev feel smug.

I said it once I'll say it again, the potion seller is a scam artist that up-sells his normal, unremarkable potions to gain reputation, then sell to whoever offers the most coin. He's only trying to sucker in the rich nobles with illusions of grander that are gullible enough to buy into his snake oil.

If this guy existed in an actual game guarantee all the potion seller apologists would be paying a kings ransom for a potion that they'd be lucky gives them a small attack boost.

Damn, what a jip.

Nah the video is him using "hot ice" which is completely harmless. Its just clickbait, love the beast tho

Fancy italian car manufacturers also live in an age where people can buy frivolities like merchandise, not just what they NEED

Why is potion posting the most comfy threads?

If the knight gained no benefit from supposed low quality potions, who would he tell? He would be dead!

Do you really think the halfwit guards will understand that? Do you know how much old timey labels cost?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

When I played Battlerite, whenever some dipshit team mate would get mad at me for not healing them after they fell way out of position, I’d always start larping as the potion seller. It was a lot of fun.

its more like

>asks to buy his best shotgun
>you cant handle my strongest shotgun, kid

Did the knight look scrawny to you? That RASCAL is just jealous.

It's nice to see an original fantasy film like Potion Seller instead of just something pulling from Tolkien.

But liquid nitrogen would be evaporating into a thick fog at room tempurature.

THAT'LL BE 99,999 GOLD, GOY- I MEAN, SIR

this. man has limits and the knight's hubris is going to get him killed eventually.

>Traveler assumes he needs the strongest potion that Potion Seller can make, without knowing how strong that would be

Business logic goes out the window right from the gecko - they are both being prideful and take no sensible steps to resolve their conflict.

Potion seller's opinions do not factor in to a business agreement.
Potion Seller has product
Customer wants product
Potion Seller sells product

Barring any legal restrictions or necessary qualifications (in medieval times apparently) the conversation stops there. Potion Seller is not there to give his opinion or recommendation unless asked

That's only true for minimum wage garbage like McDonald's cashiers.

There is no agreement -- Traveler makes a request, and Potion Seller elects not to fulfill it. Potion Seller owns his business, and runs it the way he wants to, including voicing his opinions to retarded customers. He can choose not to pretend the customer is always right the way wageslaves are forced to.

BETTER DEAD THAN RED

>Knightfags still seething in 2020

Potion sellers have the right to refuse service to anyone regardless of power level.

based

>liability
Knowingly selling a potion which will kill the Knight can open up wrongful death lawsuits. It's like that Doctor that prescribing milk of amnesia to MJ so he could sleep.
>exclusivity
By only selling the strongest potions to the strongest beings, potion seller associates his brand with quality and distinction. Selling weak potions to weaklings hurts his brand. Being provocative is a valid marketing strategy.

so what you're saying is that if I want a gay marriage potion and the potion seller has religious opposition to gay marriage, he should be forced to serve me anyway?

knight should stop being such a weak little bitch

potion seller should work on his marketing

Pretty sure the knight insists on buying the strongest potion which the seller refuses to sell.

Draconoid and any other related sick fuck hybrid doesn't count. Any true dragon with shred of sentience would just rob the entire store like a nigger
