Buff Bottles

From Beerplop
A Buff Bottle spawns on the main gaming screen of Beerplop

Buff Bottles spawn randomly and have various effects. Some Buff Bottles boost your plop/bottle cap/mana production for a short time period while others add a certain amount of plops to your plop count.

The ingredients that you mixed in your beer at the Beer Blender Bar influence the duration of the boosts: Lime increases it by 15%, pear, melon and grapes decrease it by 10-15%. The duration of the boost is calculated when the Buff Bottle is clicked, thus it's a good strategy to change the composition of your beer cocktail both before and after clicking a Buff Bottle.

There are several upgrades which increase the frequency of Buff Bottle Appearances, the duration of their effects and how long they stay on the sreen.

Buff bottle types

Lucky Bottle

The Lucky Bottle adds a certain amount of plops.

Beer Blender Bar Influence
The amount of plops in the Lucky Bottle depends on your current auto plops. Therefore it is wise to add apple and chili to your beer cocktail before clicking. You might also add grapes and pear, which might be helpful in the cases of a Lucky Bottle and a Bottle Chain, but which might also shorten the lifetime of the Buff Bottle in any other case.

Bottle Chain

In a Bottle Chain, six Buff Bottles spawn one after another. These Buff Bottles, except for the first one, vanish much faster than regular ones. Each Buff Bottle in the Bottle Chain adds a certain amount of plops, each buff bottle adding double the amount of its predecessor. If you miss a Bottle, the Chain ends immediately.

The amount of plops in the Bottle Chain depends on your current auto plops. Therefore it is wise to add apple and chili to your beer cocktail before clicking. You might also add grapes and pear, which might be helpful in the cases of a Lucky Bottle and a Bottle Chain, but which might also shorten the lifetime of the Buff Bottle in any other case.

My Stock Market Lobby

Just like in a real parliament, nobody knows or at least nobody talks about what happens in the lobby. When the Stock Market lobby is active, the market rates seem to match your investments; so if you start an investment as soon as the Stock Market Lobby appears, you will probably see some nice revenues. The best strategy seems to be to start five all-in-investments with maximum leverage into beer glasses as soon as the bottle spawns and close them when the profits start sinking again after the Lobby has timed out. This effect lasts for 20 seconds.

Upgrade Influence
There are two upgrades which increase the duration to 40 seconds and to 80 seconds.

Beer Sale

This Buff Bottle reduces the price for all buildings including Bottle Cap Factories by 15%. The effect lasts for three seconds. Multiple Beer Sales can't occur parallel.

Upgrade Influence
There are two upgrades which increase the duration to six seconds and to twelve seconds.
