Welcome to the second part of our walkthrough for Witchy Business, the cozy shop sim by Rogue Duck Interactive. In the last part, we managed to craft a Myseterious Potion, unlock the Coven, and managed to build up a solid Reputation as a thriving witchshop.
In this part, we’ll be starting Day 5 by delivering our orders that we prepared in the previous chapter and watching what else the game has in store for us until Day 8.

Day 4 Recap
Remember to quit the game only after you start the next day. The game only saves progress at the start of each day. Because of this, we lost our progress from the previous day and had to start over again.
For Day 5, we have to deliver 6 orders for potions (3x Luck, 2x Health, 1x Inspiration Potion). Currently, we’re sitting at 60 Coins and 127 Reputation.
We still have the same upgrades as the ones you’ve seen in the last chapter, so you’ll be able to follow along without any trouble.
The only major difference is that we have a +1 Relationship with the Wild Witch and the Good Witch in the Coven instead of Solis.
Day 5
Shop
For the 5th day, we have to deliver 6 orders. Our Reputation is in a nice spot, but we only have 60 Coins left. Delivering all the orders should give us a good boost. But we also need to grab as many orders as possible for the day. So we’ll keep hitting the Conch anytime it comes off Cooldown.
We only received three orders on Day 3 for the following potions:
- 1x Luck Potion
- 1x Inspiration Potion
- 1x Health Potion
The Potion Junkie visited the shop, and we gave him our Mysterious Potion to unlock the Scary Potion.
We earned 124 Coins and 25 Reputation, bringing our total up to 184 and 25, respectively. Let’s head to Town. We’ll stop by the Coven first.
Coven
Stepping into the coven, we find the Good Witch and the Wild Witch waiting for us.
Talk to the Wild Witch. We went with the dialogue “I command Nature”. Unfortunately, this resulted in a -1 Relationship with her. We’ll have to be more careful next time.
Let’s talk to the Good Witch next. Choose “You!” to progress her Relationship quest.
The bulletin board has a reward we can claim for delivering the Mysterious Potion. Grab the free item by clicking on the device with the solar system. We found a Sage. We’re done with the Coven for today. Let’s head into Town and start working on the orders for the next day.
Town
Start by visiting the Sanctuary and grabbing all the rewards for the day. Make sure you also plant the herbs you want and water them before you move on to the Alchemy Station.
We have three orders, but we can only brew a Health Potion. So craft it and make a list of the ingredients you’ll need for the remaining orders.
Here’s the list of ingredients that we’re going to need:
- 1x Rose
- 1x Clover
Before heading to the Bazaar, take a look at your Grimoire. You’ll want to craft another Mysterious Potion. If the Potion Junkie visits and you can’t deliver a Mysterious Potion, there will be a Reputation penalty.
We decided to go with the potion in the image above. We already have Laurel in stock, so we only need to buy a Sage to brew the potion. Time to go to the Bazaar to shop for the missing ingredients.
We found a Rose in stock. Since we got the Straw Basket upgrade in Sanctuary, Restocking is free for the first time around. After picking up Sage and Clover, we can head back to the Alchemy Station to wrap up the remaining orders.
Start by crafting the orders first. Once you’re done, mix Sage and Laurel and choose Start Brewing. You’ll have a new Mysterious Potion ready for the next day.
Since we have 191 Coins left after crafting everything, let’s head to the Sanctuary and see if we can upgrade anything. We decided to go with the Goldstone upgrade to reduce the cost of all ingredients by 5% in the Bazaar.
When you’re ready, click on the Shop button in Town to start the next day. We currently have 91 Coins and 164 Reputation.
Day 6
Shop
Day 6 isn’t going to be very profitable for us since we only have 3 orders to deliver. We only earned 90 Coins and 12 Reputation, netting a total of 181 Coins and 176 Reputation.
Luckily, we received orders for 8 Potions and a Wand. Here are the orders we have to complete for the next day:
- 1x Inspiration Potion
- 1x Luck Potion
- 1x Air Wand
- 2x Scary Potion
- 2x Happiness Potion
- 2x Love Potion
If we manage to craft them all, we should be able to invest in a few Shop upgrades soon.
We also got a visit from the Potion Junkie. Delivering the Mysterious Potion unlocked the recipe for Tasty Potion. Let’s head to the Coven and see if we unlocked anything else.
Coven
We found the Good Witch and Wild Witch again in the Coven. Let’s talk to the Good Witch first. Choose “Chamomile tea” to progress her questline.
For the Wild Witch, choose “Something deep”. It didn’t give us a +1, but we also didn’t receive any -1 either. We’ll call that a win for now. Grab the remaining rewards from the Coven and head to Town next.
Town
You know the drill by now. Go to Sanctuary and grab the rewards that are waiting for you. But don’t spend anything towards upgrades yet. Our priority is to complete the orders for the next day. Head to Alchemy Station next to see which orders you can complete.
We need to craft 8 Potions and a Wand, but we can only brew two potions now. So let’s craft them up.
Here’s the list of ingredients we’ll have to buy from the Bazaar:
- 1x Gold
- 2x Rose
- 2x Silver
- 2x Toadstool
- 3x Laurel
Thankfully, the Goldstone upgrade we bought earlier will help save some Coins while shopping. Check which ingredients you have and keep restocking till you manage to gather all the items. It shouldn’t be too difficult, since you’ve also unlocked a few extra shelves because of your Reputation.
If you want, you can skip buying ingredients for orders that are not due the next day. But we want to make sure we deliver everything possible so that we can accept more orders.
Once you have what you need, head back to the Alchemy Station and finish crafting the items.
Let’s take a look at the Grimoire to see if we can craft any new Mysterious Potions. The one in the image above looks like it uses a Belladonna and a Moonstone. Since we have both in our inventory, we decided to give it a spin.
We got the ingredients wrong and ended up with a Dangerous Experiment. There’s nothing we can do about that right now. So let’s start the next day to see what happens.
Day 7
Shop
We have a lot of orders to deliver for Day 7, which means we should have plenty of Coins to invest in some upgrades.
Unfortunately, two Potion Junkies visited the shop. With no Mysterious Potion to deliver, we took a small hit to our Reputation. Thankfully, we didn’t get into any trouble for the Dangerous Experiment.
We received the following orders:
- 1x Tasty Potion
- 1x Water Wand
- 1x Luminous Wand
Our earnings for the day are 217 Coins and 36 Reputation. This is an excellent haul for day 7, bringing our total up to 321 Coins and 219 Reputation.
Before closing up, we decided to get the Idol of Riches upgrade for the Shop. This will give us bonus Coins whenever we deliver a perfect order. It’s a bit expensive, but it should be worth the investment in the long run. When you’re ready, head to the Coven.
Coven
We found the Solar Witch and the Good Witch waiting for us in the Coven. Let’s talk to the Good Witch first. We went with the option “Me?” but it was the wrong choice, resulting in -1 Relationship.
For the Solar Witch, choose “The Great Solar Witch!” for +1 Relationship. Grab the free rewards from the Coven and head into the Town. Since you’ve kept the shop running for a week, you’ll get a Gift reward from the bulletin board. You can use this to gain +3 Relationship with any of the Witches in the Coven.
Town
As always, start by claiming the free rewards from the Sanctuary when you enter the Town. When you’re done, head to the Alchemy Station to start working on the orders.
We have only enough material to craft the Lumionus Wand. After finishing the wand, we’ll head to the Bazaar to buy the following ingredients:
- 1x Sage
- 1x Laurel
- 1x Silver
We managed to grab the items we needed without spending too much money. After shopping, we had 106 Coins left to spend. Head back to the Alchemy Station and craft the remaining orders.
We’re going to take another shot at creating a Mysterious Potion. The ingredients for the Potion in the image above seem to be Clover and Copper. Toss the two ingredients in the Cauldron and start brewing.
This time, we managed to concoct a Mysterious Potion successfully. Start the next day when you’re done.
Day 8
Shop
Day 8 was extremely hectic with multiple events happening at the same time. We had to deal with multiple Thieves, Slime Cats, and fortune-telling.
Delivering the Mysterious Potion to the Potion Junkie unlocked the recipe for Friendly Potion.
We received four orders, one of which is to charm a handbag:
- 1x Love Potion
- 1x Health Potion
- 1x Air Wand
- 1x Durability Charm
We earned 112 Coins and 16 Reputation, despite delivering only three orders from the previous day. When you’re ready, head to the Coven.
Coven
This time, we found the Wild Witch and the Solar Witch in the Coven. We need to make sure we get the dialogue right for Wild Witch this time.
Choose “*Say nothing*” to get +1 Relationship with her. Alternatively, you can give her the Gift that you received from the Bulletin Board the previous day.
For Solar Witch, the choice is obvious. Go with “I love hearing about you” to get +1. Grab the rewards from the Coven and head to Town when you’re done.
Town
After claiming the rewards from the Sanctuary, head to the Alchemy Station. Let’s start with the Charm order first.
Click on the witchcraft board on the bottom left and choose the order to get started. We already have the Laurel and Iron required to complete the order.
Click on the bowls on the left to pick your ingredients. Place the Laurel in the top plate and the Iron on the left plate at the bottom. Drag and drop the handbag on the big plate in the middle.
You’ll see an outline appear over the bag. Press and hold the mouse cursor at the start point and trace the outline to charm the object successfully.
We still have three more orders to wrap up for the day. We have enough ingredients for the Love Potion. For the rest, we are missing the following ingredients:
- 1x Laurel
- 1x Sage
- 1x Toadstool
Head to the Bazaar to buy these items. We had to restock a couple of times to buy everything we needed.
Return to the Alchemy Station and finish crafting the remaining orders. For our Mysterious Potion, we’re going to give the one in the above image another try. This time we’ll be using Rose and Moonstone instead of Belladonna.
Toss the ingredients into the Cauldron and start brewing. This time, we managed to craft a new potion successfully.
We currently have 141 Coins and 249 Reputations. At this point, Coins seem to be our main problem. So let’s head back to Sanctuary and see if we can upgrade anything to fix that. We swapped out the Whispering Well for a Wishing Well. Now we’ll passively gain some Coins each day we visit the sanctuary. Make sure you plant two more herbs before you start the next day.
This concludes this part of our walkthrough for Witchy Business. Keep an eye on our main hub for the game for more walkthroughs and guides.
