chamomile brew

[marekondrcka]

so it should give me 200 health right?

is it not working or the game just fails to inform me that it is working??
someone tested it??

[marekondrcka]

and second alchemy question..what is wrong with cockerel potion?? why i cant make 3 if i follow the recipe flawlessly

is there really a mistake in discription??

[AfLIcTeD]

Chamomile brew is a very slow heal, not really worth it IMO.

What is your alchemy level? Usually by level 5 I can get 3 potions quite easy even with some mistakes. My guess is you are not pulling the bellows enough per turn. Once you get to about level 10 you can start reducing bellow pulls or sometimes skip the boiling stage altogether.

[marekondrcka]

alchemy level 0

i can make 3 EVERYTIME of any potion except cockerel

so no, your speculation is out

i can make 3 with perk at level 5, but thats not my point..my point is why i cant make 3 at level 0

i have red in some forum, that the discription of the recipe is wrong, that would make sence, if its the case, whats the mistake in the recipe?

It's not going to give you more health than you had before you were damaged.

[marekondrcka]

oh i get it now..so it heals 200 health over time

any clue on thet cockerel thing philippe?

[Graygan]

It heals 200 points of damage... its designed for you to take damage while it's still healing you.

For example... if you have 100 health, get into a fight and get knocked down to 30... Drink the pot... you slowly regenerate up to 90 health, get into another fight and get knocked back to 30... you will eventually regenerate a total of 140 points and still be at 100 health total. If you get hurt again before the potion is done, it will continue to heal to your maximum or until the potion time runs out.

[marekondrcka]

thanks, i already know..what about the cockerel potion?

[Graygan]

As for the Cockerel potion, I do not have an answer for you. I'm sorry.

Seeing as though you seem to know everything, figure it out for yourself.

yeah, seems you dont know the answer

if i knew everything i wouldnt be asking

[marekondrcka]

i tried to figure it out game wise speaking, brewing it 50 times, tried different combinations, nothing worked

i do not know how to open the xml file where it is written in the script, so i cant check it myself and do not want to invest energy in it

so if some nice person, not aflicted, would do it for me, it would make me very happy

[marekondrcka]

there is obviously something wrong with the recipe and people were complaining about it months ago, but i guess its not a priority to correct it and it shouldnt be cause there are much more serious problems, but it just bothers my mind

Here's what I know.

When you start out in alchemy, some potions do not deliver the full 3-count batch after each brew, such as Nighthawk (2 potions), or Embrocation (1). This will change as you level up for some potions. Note that some potions will fail at each attempt below level 5 - Padfoot and Bivoj's Rage potion are two of these.

As you increase in skill, some recipes will return more pots per brewing, but some cap out at 2 per session: Padfoot only brings 2 pots per manual brew session in all cases below skill level 15.

Certain perks will increase or decrease the pot-per-brew count:

Routine I - auto brew but only one potion per session in all cases

Routine II - auto brew delivers 3 of any potion in all cases (including Padfoot and Bivoj's)

Bundle Alchemist - You get an extra pot per session (does not apply to auto brew Routines).

As for Cockerel, you may only get 1 or 2 potions below level 5 for the above reasons.

Hope this helps, and enjoy.

thank you, it helps 100%, good to know there is someone willing..

i just wanted to know if its bug or i suck somehow

According to the games files (also shown in the link below) the Cockerel recipe accepts only Mint and Valerian, however it also requires that St. John's Wort be boiled for 2 turns, which I believe was meant to be Mint instead as Mint's only requirement is that it's ground up. This contradiction is what I believe makes it impossible to get 3 potions before level 4 (many potions ignore all boiling instructions starting around level 4). You'd have to remove that condition, or replace St. John's Wort with Mint in the game files to test if it's even possible without that condition.

Moonshine similarly requires Nettle to be boiled for 1 turn but doesn't allow Nettle as an ingredient, in the game files. I haven't tested this myself yet.
