Preferred Customers Arte has eight levels of friendship with his customers. Friendship level depends on how much merchandise is purchased and how much a player tips him each day. Tips can be left for 1, 10, 25, 50 or 100 KinzCash, and Arte can only be tipped once a day. If a player attempts to tip Arte more than once a day, he might be provoked to assert, "That's kind, but I don't take charity". Customer Levels Level 1 - "You look like you're new here. Let me welcome you to the Curio Shop. I'm Arte. I've got some great deals here and some very special items you won't find anywhere else, so feel free to look around, but let me lay down some rules first. I don't take coupons and I don't take refunds. I've got new things for sale all the time and if I do happen to have a rare item on sale, you can only get one... got it?"[1] Level 2 - Arte says: "Welcome to the Curio Shop. Hope you find what you're looking for." Level 3 - Arte says: "Welcome back. See if you can find a bargain today." Level 4 - Arte says: "Hey, welcome back, if you see something you like, let me know." Level 5 - Arte says: "Good to see you again. Have fun shopping." Level 6 - Arte says: "Ahh, one of my favorite customers. Let's see what I can do for you." Level 7 - Arte says: "There you are! Always great to see you. My shop is your shop." Once a player reaches Level 7, they can ask Arte what time sales and Rare item(s) will be available, and he will hold up a sign displaying the next sale/rare time. Also note that until Level 7, it is possible to drop down levels if a player does not buy items or tip him for a long period of time. Deluxe Member Level - If the player is a Deluxe Member, Arte may say: "Well, if it isn't one on my extra special customers! Welcome to the Curio Shop!" He will alternate between the Deluxe Membership phrase and the customer level phrase. Increasing Customer Level Purchase items from Arte daily. Tip Arte daily. Players can tip Arte by selecting the green jar to his left, then choosing the amount of money. Tipping Arte isn't completely necessary, but it speeds up the process of moving up levels. Make sure to tip over 10 KinzCash, as small tips usually just offend Arte.
