Stages and recipes
The shop runs across three stages, and each one adds new ingredient types and harder multi-item recipes - a brew that took a single bottle early on can need several later. A few orders also accept an alternative: Water, for instance, can stand in for a cooling potion, so when the exact ingredient is not on the shelf it is worth trying a sensible substitute instead of letting the order time out.
