Potion and brewing

[cnbp3189]

I remember vaguely when I brew fox potion before, I can get Henry level with some dried ingredients, with 1 fresh herb, but today I can not do that anymore?? Also Artemisia suppose increase strength? It no longer increase the weight I can carry?? I am 30 strength atm.

I'd assume that 30 is the absolute maximum

The thing with fresh ingredients is a bit wonky, I get 6 Henry's whatever potions and he still babbles about fresh ingredients sometimes.

Alchemy is very weird. I'm at alchemy 30 and have the perk that allows you to make mistakes and I can't brew basic fox potion or half the potions in game for that matter I just get unknown potion. The others work fine and I get Henry's potion versions.

30 is absolute maximum for all stats and skills.

I have sometimes picked out dried herbs from enemies that has low durability. When I use them during alchemy, that's when Henry talks about getting fresh ingredients even though I get the Henry tier potion from crafting it.
I think the perk that allows one mistakes basically fixes the mistake with low durability herbs or dried herbs.

I find that having first secret of perk in amount produced and second one in avoiding mistakes allows you to make t4 pots with no fresh herbs and minor mistakes. At 30 alchemy it even lets you make 1 major mistake.

That said, Fox is kinda pita to brew, since it does not line up nicely with just animations, how some potions do. For example the picking up charcoal and placing it in to the grinder takes like 75% of a turn, not 50% like other ingredients do.

I did purchase some dries ingredients, dried St John's wort thats prob the reason? but I did use fresh nettle~ I just cant be bother to look for St John's wort... Max 30 alchemy without the perk of allow mistake probably the reason too~ which its sucks~ I might try it at night time see if it can be improved.
