Other Ways to Obtain Apothecary Creations
If you don't want to level up the Apothecary skill, several options are available to you! You can buy elixirs, emotion potions, and remedies from Innisgreen's Apothecary Stall, which is a much faster way to get these precious products.
Note
You can also turn to a naturopath who will provide a remedy for 1,500 Simoleons. It's a particularly expensive treatment, but so handy for the most impatient gamers among us!
If you want to make things easier for yourself, you also have the option of placing the Apothecary Stall on any lot! The vendor, meanwhile, will restock their inventory daily while making sure not to miss out on new finds...
