"Imbues my blade with magical power"

[Cannon Fodder]

I've tried mana potion, berserk, and electric, and he walked off. Considering literally all of it is magic, maybe such vague requests (With only one solution) is not the best approach...

[Ptolemy]

I thought lightning worked for this. Or fire or frost.

The jackass wants ice or fire. For some reason those are the only two they consider "imbuing" their blades.

Except for the guy who wants something to rub on his "sword" IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN... For some reason he always gets mad when I give him acid, poison, or necromancy potions.

Turns out he wanted a potion of libido, but I really think he should have tried my recommendations.

Yes, fire worked. Had to save-scum it to figure out because silly me thinking Mana (literal magic) Poison (what a witcher would actually use) and lightning (because why not) were all acceptable...

Libido guy doesn't accept fast growth either, for some reason.

Blade with magical power refers to ice, fire, or the one which pays the best: Lightning. Give the dude lightning, with end game trading, you can get near 150 for that potion. This customer tends to come very frequently, so it might even be a good idea to give him lightning 3, fire 2 or something like that.

DONT give him acid. The blade will become useless if he puts acid on it, it's common sense.

Yes, a fictional game...about alchemy, a fictional pseudoscience is common sense :)

You probably should sell him a potion of safe sex. There are far too many bastard swords in the world as it is.

OP specifically said that the customer rejected a lightning potion, though.

The jackass just wants fire, he didn't want any ice.

The request isn't actually that vague. You messed up, misunderstanding what the customer wanted. If you don't understand what it means to imbue a blade with magic, you aren't supposed to get it right yet lol. You'll learn. There aren't many potion effects, it's not hard to figure out, but you WILL get it wrong from time to time.

While it may not be obvious to you, many people find it obvious because many people play other games, like fantasy RPG's and the like. Most fantasy gamers instinctively know "Mana potions" and "berserk" potions have a positive effect on the user. Therefore, they would be AWFUL effects to add to your blade, and wouldn't make any sense in this context. A "berserk-imbued sword," for instance, would make the opponent you're fighting MORE DIFFICULT to kill. The mana potion would recharge your foe's magical abilities.

Understanding the effects of the potions helps in this area, and there's a wiki that can help you if you have difficulty knowing which is which. It IS obvious when you understand the purpose of the potions, but it's a game about trial and error. You're supposed to mess up and move on sometimes.

OP clearly misspoke (He said "electric" potion) because he was mistaken on the type of potion. That customer WILL accept a lightning potion. I give them that potion exclusively for the profit.

Yes. Acid on a sword = damaged sword. This is common sense.

If you're making a joke, that's pretty funny. If you're serious, no ♥♥♥♥. When was the last time you became horny after eating a handful of fertilizer lol? That's the type of growth the game's talking about.

Firstly, Sorry "Lightning," I didn't think someone would get THAT pendantic. And maybe the game has been updated since this occurred, but no, I assure you when I did it, he did not accept lightning.

Second, I never said I tried acid, I know that's common sense IN REAL LIFE, but since the game is about alchemy; a FICTION about making MAGICAL POTIONS, common sense from reality doesn't always transfer. Would an acid POTION just BE acid, or would it IMBUE acid like properties...? A lightning potion is not JUST LIGHTNING in a bottle, it imbues lightning properties. A Fire potion is not just fire in a bottle, it imbues fire like properties.

PS as an Avid player of D&D take your pompous "IF YoU pLAyEd MoRE RpGs" horseapples and jog on.

I guess only fire works on ghosts for some reason
