Shoppe

A shoppe is a building where pirates combine labor and commodities to make products.

The following shoppes are available:

• Apothecary
• Distillery
• Furnisher
• Iron monger
• Shipyard
• Tailor
• Weavery

Other shoppes rumored to be in the works:

• Consignment shoppe - To sell other players' used goods (stated here to be done as auction houses)

Differences from Stalls

Shoppes are charged more in weekly tax than stalls, but offer several advantages for the cost.

• Size - Shoppes are larger, offering more storage space than stalls. This is most important for Shipyards, which can manufacture any size ship, whereas a stall can only hold enough wood to make war brigs or smaller classes.
• Location - Shoppes have their own storefront, which makes them easier to find, and draws more pirates in for labor and sales.
• Managers - Shoppes can have up to five managers; a deluxe stall can only have two.
• Name - All shops have unique names, whereas stalls are named based on the stall owner (e.g. Poseidon's Ironmonger stall).

Upgrading

Shoppes can be painted by the owner or a manager, and upgraded at the estate agent. Shoppes can have their name changed. Shoppes can only be built on player-owned islands.

Shoppes can be renamed for 50k or 75k if it's been upgraded. Only the owner of a shoppe can change the name.
