Fledgling Fyora trademark2 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 when i buy a recipe, it says something like, "new recipe learned" when i click the ? by the recipe, it gives me generic information on alchemy when i click to make the potion, it says i don't have the ingriedients(doesnt say which ones) when i asked the person that sells the recipes about the name of the potion, they have no idea what im talking about!! so where are the recipes? im in mild rebellion now, having finished valley of dying things.

Articulate Vlish icelizarrd Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Ah, when the generic alchemy info comes up, you need to click the arrows to "scroll" until you find the listing for the potion in question. (You can also open that by selecting "alchemy" from the library menu.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Tonweya Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Note that there is also a "Do Alchemy" selection to be made, assuming your Party knows the Recipe, has the Ingredients and has sufficient Alchemistical Skill to perform the deed. Using Alchemy, either as the primary method of obtaining Potions, or as a 'side-line' to Combat and Spells makes for a greater enjoyment to a Scenario, but it can also be tedious in that you need the Recipe, Ingredients and Skill to make the Potions. In almost ALL Scenarios, you should be keeping notes on information obtained as the Story-Line unfolds. If you do want to utilize Alchemy, I'd strongly recommend that you keep a list of all the 'Common' Potions and Ingredients along with any other 'Important' Items. That way you won't need to keep using the Drop-Down Menus whenever you want to do something. The 'Help' list will shrink after a couple of games, but using Alchemy always seemed to me to be like a frustrating 'Side-Quest' in that you never seemed to have the right Ingredients for a Potion you needed. One last item, I prefer to carry a lot of Food and Energy Potions, rather than a lot of excess 'Treasures'. me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotghroth Rhapsody Tonweya Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I heartily agree and if you do, thanx. Like a lot of others probably do, I have several forms made up and one of them includes the Ingredients and the Potions they are needed for. me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotghroth Rhapsody Tonweya Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 If you open the BoE Editor, you can find information on specific things. The information is only a minimal listing, but you can re-type what you need to and then keep those lists handy while you play. It won't take long and it will make playing a LOT easier. I'm only a mediocre player and am primarily interested in the documentation of Scenrios as a hobby. When I first started playing, these 'Help' sheets were a necessity that have become a convenience. me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
