Trial and error potions??

[hacksaw]

I don't mind trial and error, but I'm getting frustrated by indiscernable ooze. I have a lot of them now. I've wasted a lot of stuff to get failures.

Yeah, that's pretty frustrating, the game supposedly encourages trial and error, but the problem is that the amount of combinations you can successfully put together isn't too high and whenever you try something more wacky, it's gonna end up as indiscernible ooze. It just makes you don't wanna experiment and stick to the few recipes you accidentally come up with.

If you follow Granny's recommended rule: Only combine two types of mana at once, you'll find your success! There are nearly no potions that use 3 types of mana, (except the 3 total mana potions you can make with basic ingredients and a few recipes you will be granted in the story).

I noticed you can use ooze as a filler for the 3rd spot in case your recipe calls for 4 fire for example, and you want to use two items with +2 fire, then use an ooze for the last spot.

Ah, thanks! Much good advice. :)

It would be nice if the game remembered when certain combinations created undiscernable ooze so you don't accidentally try that combination again

Having gotten every potion, I can say that once you've filled out about half the possible recipes, you'll start noticing certain patterns.

Namely that the potion recipes are organized by how much of the category's element that you'll need. For example, 6 Fire will be at the end of the list, and between 5 Fire and 6 Fire recipes will be the 5 Fire + 1 Air/Water/Earth recipes (three total).

Once I figured out the pattern, filling in the blanks was fairly easy.

I've added this feature to the backlog. It'll need some time to develop, but I can definitely see how it would help reduce frustrations.

What is be really great is a recipe that uses the indiscernible ooze.

The side quests from the people in the village help unlock recipes. The trial and error recipes is only one way to unlock them. Talk to people and unlock more
