Its 4 different. One a game is fine, even though the quest text suggests different.

Got to buy stuff for 500-600gold just to fulfill the requirements for invis. Then get in the game, instantly drink the potion and then survive the dungeon with gear that doesnt help a bit, but is actually worse than squire gear.

Not very great quest design.

oh i didnt realize invis pots had a knowlege req

You don't have to do anything. Just sit somewhere in a dark corner near the exit. For example, near those nasty spiders. Rarely does anyone go there and even more rarely searches every corner.
And how much knowledge does the Barbarian have? The rogue also has low knowledge, but by wisely selecting things from the squire , i managed to bring the characteristic to 15 without any problems...

does a luck potion count? theres no requirement for that

[gydrarash]

No. When I did this quest, the merchant rolled out a list of requirements. One health potion, one shield potion, one invisibility potion and one magic shield potion. It was fun, considering that magical shield potions didn’t drop in dungeons back then. ;)
