In Storage Hunters, the fastest free-to-play way to lift your income is to swap Celebrity Customers for Alien Customers. The Alien Customers Potion draws in high-paying buyers, and when it is paired with the correct shop upgrades and accessory stats, sale offers climb without spending Robux on a Game Pass.
Quick answer: Roll the Alien Customers Potion from the Alien Market Trader for 25 Alien Coins per attempt (6.4% chance), max out Selling Space, Advertising, and Price Tags, then equip accessories with the NPC Offer Bonus stat. This replaces Celebrity Customers entirely and needs no purchase.
Shop upgrades to max first
Before touching the Alien Market, get your shop selling quickly. Three upgrades move your money the most, and none of them require the Celebrity Customers Game Pass.
| Upgrade | Effect at max | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Selling Space | 30 selling slots | High |
| Advertising | +50% faster offers | High |
| Price Tags | Offers improve by +10% | High |
| Tip Jar | 6% tip chance | Secondary |
| Celebrity Customers | Game Pass only | Skip for this method |
Selling Space lets more items be up for offer at once, Advertising shortens the wait between offers, and Price Tags raises every offer by 10%. Together they keep buyers cycling through your stock instead of leaving it idle. Celebrity Customers can be left untouched, since Alien Customers cover the same role for free.
How to get the Alien Customers Potion
The potion comes from the Alien Market Trader inside the Alien Area event. Each roll costs 25 Alien Coins and has a 6.4% chance to land the Alien Customers Potion, so plan on stacking coins for several attempts.
For reference, here is where the Alien Customers Potion sits against the other market rolls.
| Potion | Roll chance |
|---|---|
| Faster Grading Potion | 11.7% |
| Alien Luck Potion | 11.7% |
| Alien Customers Potion | 6.4% |
| Auction Rush Potion | 3.2% |
| Unlimited X-Ray Alien Potion | 1.1% |
| Free Grade Certificate Potion | 1.1% |
| Mutator Extractor Potion | 1.1% |
| Certificate of Alteration | 1.1% |
| Grade Removal Potion | 1.1% |
How to earn Alien Coins
Alien Coins are the currency that funds every roll, so you need a steady supply before the potion becomes reliable. There are two ways to collect them.
- Complete quests handed out by the Alien Boss.
- Find and collect the cows scattered around the map.
Both methods stack, so working Alien Boss quests while sweeping up cows on the way is the quickest route to the 25 coins each roll demands.
Alien Customers vs Celebrity Customers
Celebrity Customers are locked behind a Game Pass, while Alien Customers cost only in-game effort. In practice, Alien Customers deliver payouts and tips that match or beat the paid option, which is why the Celebrity Customers upgrade can stay unbought.
| Customer type | Cost | Payout |
|---|---|---|
| Alien Customers | Free (Alien Coins + roll) | Comparable or better |
| Celebrity Customers | Game Pass (Robux) | Baseline high-tier |
Accessory loadout with NPC Offer Bonus
Once Alien Customers are active, the last multiplier comes from your worn accessories. Any item that carries the NPC Offer Bonus stat raises the amount buyers offer, and some also add tip chance on top.
Two accessories carry strong bonuses for this setup.
| Accessory | NPC Offer Bonus | Tip Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Desert Hood | +15.5% | +15.5% |
| Airforce Ice Crown | +15.5% | +15.5% |
Equip whichever NPC Offer Bonus pieces you own across your available slots to stack the percentage as high as possible.
How to confirm the method is working
You know the setup is live when Alien Customers begin appearing in your shop and their offers land higher than standard buyers. With Advertising maxed, offers arrive faster, and with Price Tags plus your accessory bonus, each accepted sale pays more. If offers still feel slow, check that Selling Space and Advertising are actually maxed and that your NPC Offer Bonus accessories are equipped rather than just held in inventory.
Because the entire loop runs on Alien Coins and worn gear, it scales purely with play time. Keep clearing Alien Boss quests, keep rolling for the potion, and keep the three core upgrades maxed, and the shop pays out steadily without a single Robux spent.
