How can you unlock new recipes?

[solanoir]

So I just beat Roxanne in the first competition and next day she shows up and requests 2 petrification cure potions. I thought "ok I'll figure out how to make them". And now I can't. Maybe I'm dumb and can't notice something obvious, but I keep combining different magimins and only get old recipes. Is it possible to unlock new ones or is it a bug and I shouldn't have taken that order?

Do you use the "Recipe" menu on the brew sceen? There's a handy guide with all the recipes you can make (as you unlock some each week, save for the last one).
If that doesn't work, petrification cures have a ratio of 1A 2C 1E!

There is nothing stopping you from making potions you don't know as far as I am aware, but the recipe for petrification potions should appear in your recipe book in week 2 I think. I haven't made one yet.

It's still locked in the recipe book. I tried to mix 30A 62C 30E and game turns it into a common fire tonic. Thanks for the help but it seems I'll have to skip the request after all

This seems to be a bug or perhaps an annoyingly realistic feature.

In game lore your character knows the recipe for all potions, but it is illegal to brew a potion without a liscense. I frequently recieve special requests to brew potions that I dont have a liscense to make. If intentional it is a bad game mechanic but IRL it makes sense for customers to show up asking for products a store does not sell.

I personally never had to brew a potion I could not due to the license regulations, but if it happened to you when you didn't even have the recipe.. That's more than likely a bug, and it should be reported.

Same. It seems super weird that someone would request petrification cures in week 2.
