Create Potions?

[timjake78]

I'm trying to make potions, and all I get is "Something is Wrong."

I'm in the "experiment" mode (1st item, upper left corner), but no matter what combination of parts, the only thing I get is the error above.

And yes, I do have flasks.

Keep trying, I was able to discover about 10 potions this way.

PS. I don't like the system, but I guess we will have a potions guide posted soon.

[timjake78]

Ok, I'll keep trying.

Agree on not liking the system. We shouldn't have to wait on a guide to do this.

Thanks.

It's done through certain combinations. You just have to play around with it. Every component is unique, so you won't have anything like two skulls, one heart.

Good to know. Thanks.

Now those low level brains have a (better) use.

Different question, once created how exactly do you use them? got a few found but they just sit there with no obvious means to exploit them. do you double click, drop on a character, find a menu option somewhere? i will probably look foolish when you say something obvious but i am not seeing it...

In battle, it is located in the same menu as Spells. Where there are 2 tabs for your spells (close to enemy info), there is a 3rd at the very bottom that has a flask icon.

I have tried every combinaison possible with the lesser ingredients (3 same, 2 same +1 of each other, then 1 +1 +1) and I didn't even discover half of the recipe, far from it...
Some potions (a LOT) need rarer parts?

You can get all of the potions through experimentation.

1. No potion uses more than one type of ingredient.
2. Systematically running through the rows of ingredients will eventually unlock all of the combinations. Early on, experiment until the 6 potions slots are filled. Go fight something and use the potions in battle where possible, finish the battle and return to experimentation.
3. Parts above common increases the level of the potion. Uncommon increases level by 1, rare by 2 etc. Highest potion level is 10 (all legendary parts) but the levels only increase the numbers behind the potion. Most of the time it's enough to use common parts.

Something is wrong = invalid combination.
Might get something good = Valid combination not yet crafted for the first time.

Rinse and repeat to get everything. I started messing around from Cathedral at cakewalk difficulty and managed to craft everything before getting to the Magister.

Of course we can. But many/most people don't like it and don't like wasting that much time either. I will rather waste my time by replying to forum posts :)

It takes no more than 20 minutes to run through the combinations. If it was running the slots non-stop without waiting for the result, even less time. Some people take more than 20 minutes to search for what they need, so mileage may vary.

I'm personally satisfied with unlocking the potion list without needing external help. Didn't finish the session having a separate window open begging for potion help because it wasn't needed.

I spent 5 minutes to find about 9 potions: started new game, found 3 potions, deleted the game, started game in the same slot, found 3 potions, deleted the game, started another game, found other 3 potions. Then I just thought "it's broken mechanic", I will wait for potion guide.
If anything, I am one of those players who hate unknown and suggested to make humatorium completely known for new players.
