SPrepare for this customer
A seller of goods that are hard to get elsewhere, equipment, a reward or an unlock the specialization's route depends on, a deadline or branch to decide in advance, or a danger of major loss such as game over, arrest or confiscation makes advance preparation worthwhile. A high priority does not mean every purchase or report is recommended.
AUseful in the right situation
A main buyer of your goods, a seller of some of your inputs, a side income, optional input, reputation opportunity or conditional risk matters when the matching stock, branch or cash need exists. Check the condition before reserving scarce money or goods.
BOrdinary response is enough
The specialization does not normally depend on this customer's goods or outcome. Serve an appropriate incidental trade when the visitor comes without planning the business around it; a low priority does not remove legal or safety consequences.

Quick summary

Visit 1

Name shown in the shop: Lower Level Citizen

When
One day after you buy the Water Trading network upgrade (base cost 300 before difficulty and perk adjustments). Earliest day 2 with Skip Intro, normally day 8 or later. Favor is spent first and cash covers any shortfall.
What happens
Compare genuine Basewater with disguised Ghostwater before buying.

Choices

Complete a trade

  • One Bottle of Water (Standard) of genuine Basewater and one of Ghostwater disguised as Basewater are offered.
  • Only the selected goods are traded, and cash and ownership change at the agreed price. A buyer's budget is adjusted by reputation perks, Wild's Endorsement and Store Attractiveness.
  • Reputation with this visitor's faction changes by the adjusted trade value ÷ 400. You also gain Favor of 10% of the trade value on Price Gouge and 5% on Mark Up (none on Thin Margins or Red Ink; a custom difficulty uses its own rate). Item legality, the faction and perks adjust the value along the way.

Finish the conversation and leave without trading

  • One Bottle of Water (Standard) of genuine Basewater and one of Ghostwater disguised as Basewater are offered.
  • The visit ends with no cash or goods exchanged; anything that happened during the conversation still applies.

Recommended response

Compare the two units of Bottle of Water (Standard) before buying: one is genuine Basewater, while the other is Ghostwater under the same label. Pay only for the contents you actually want, or leave; neither choice grants free water.
