Shop Location, Restocks and Auto-Buy
Go to the Potions stall in the Hub and press E to open the Potion Shop. Buy an available offer with cash; it goes to Cooler → Potions. Sold-out offers cannot be purchased, and the shop refreshes every 5 minutes.
The shop’s Auto-Buy switch is at the top of the menu. In one purchase, turning it on bought all five current offers, leaving them sold out. Consider the cost of the current selection before enabling it.
For cheaper cash purchases, find Haggler under Upgrades → Market. Level 10 discounts bait and potions by 30%; see Market upgrades for other spending choices.
VIP includes one free potion each day. The Potion Bundle under Shop → Boosts contains five Cash Boost and five Net Space potions; its Plus offer costs 64 Robux. Compare VIP with other game passes before buying.
Drink a Potion or Add It to Your Hotbar
- Open the Cooler using the button on the left side of the screen, or use Open Cooler near the physical Fish Cooler.
- Select Potions and check the card’s tier, effect and duration. You can sort the list by rarity.
- Select Drink to consume the potion immediately, or +Bar to put it on your hotbar for later use. The menu also offers Use All for bulk use.
- Look for the timed buff icon in the lower-right corner to confirm the effect is active.
Combining Effects and Extending Cash Boost
A Net Space potion and a Cash Boost potion can run together. For example, Net Space IX gives +45% net space while Cash Boost X gives +50% showcase cash.
Additional Cash Boost potions can extend an existing timer. With Cash Boost X already active, drinking Cash Boost VI, VII and VIII in that order increased its remaining time from approximately 91 to 121 minutes while the displayed cash bonus stayed at +50%. This example describes that particular starting effect and sequence.
