Fledgling Fyora snugglufugus Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Ok, I realize this may be a stupid question, but it's been years since I've played exile and I can't for the life of me figure out how to use alchemy. I bought the skill I want and the recipe I want and I have the ingredients but when I click on the alchemy button there aren't any options for any of the characters. Is there something else I'm supposed to do? I've looked all over for the answer to this issue and it appears that no one as ever had this problem (or at least posted about it). I appreciate any help Thanks in advance ~snuggle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast The Mystic Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Which potion are you trying to make, and what's it's skill? The character who's performing the alchemy must be holding the ingredients, and needs to have a high enough skill to perform it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Callie Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 You also need to know the recipe, and I believe you have to be indoors as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Celtic Minstrel Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 If he's clicking the alchemy button, then he's already indoors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish MacCentris Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 If you don't know the recipe you can't make it, as mentioned your PC has to have enough skill to make it. It would also help to know which version of Exile you're playing. In Exile 2 you can get a few recipes in Egli. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast The Mystic Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Actually, it doesn't matter which Exile, or even if it's BoE; the rules are the same throughout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasoned Roamer Emz Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I have also never fully understood how to use the Alchemy skill, so I never bothered using it or trying to learn how. It is true that you have to buy the recipes before you can use them, but then everything else should work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish MacCentris Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Well, knowing the version of Exile he is playing might trigger response on where to get certain recipes for that version of the game. If he doesn't have enough skill to create the recipe he wants, maybe there are others he can make, right? In that case, yes it does make a difference. I never did alchemy in Exile 2. Never saw the point. But I have done it in Exile 3 several times for the invulnerability potions. I usually don't see much point in poisoning my weapon. So, poisons is something I do not use much. I've replaced that with a Major Blessing spell, which is much more effective in other aspects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Ishad Nha Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 The only really useful potions are Cure Dumbfounding and Energy potions. If you have the energy potions your spellcasters will have the spell points needed to cast the spells contained in the other potions.

Understated Ur-Drakon Celtic Minstrel Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Knowledge Brew would be useful too. I think it's probably worthwhile to use all the alchemical ingredients you gather. If you can't use the potions, you can probably sell them.

Easygoing Eyebeast The Mystic Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Or make the ingredients into potions, which you can then sell, sometimes for more than the ingredients. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Celtic Minstrel Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 ...Isn't that what I just said? Oh wait, I guess I just didn't make it clear enough... I thought the word "use" would be enough to convey the fact that it's the potions I was suggesting you sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
