Not so obvious moments in potion crafting

Few not so obvious aspects of potioncrafting that might help you through the game.

Not so obvious things

1) When mixing potions don't forget about water - adding water always drive the procedure of mixing towards the center of the alchemy map, that helps you to hit the icon on the map to get lvl 3 potions.

2) If you forgot to gather the plants in the alchemist garden - you can do it the next day. Plants that were left will not grow in amount though.

3) People that want to buy Sleeping potion might also buy a combined Sleeping+Healing potion, but they won't buy Healing+Poision combination.

4) When you mix multi-effect potions - by that I mean potions that have "2 Thunder 2 Explosion 1 Fire" effects - for underground alchemy machine, you don't need to mix potion in that very order that is written on recipe. Any order will do, just get only listed effects.

5) Alchemist map has borders but has no edge - ingredients may drive you behind visible border and it might come itchy to come back. Add water to the cauldron.

6) Whirlpools only act when you use blacksmithing bellows. You get whirlpooled clock-wise during this. You also get whirlpooled while its animation is active. As soon as it stops - you are clear to proceed the navigation on the alchemist map.
You may benefit from this (rotate your potion position closer to target effect on alchemist map to save ingredients). Just touch the bellows softly.

7) When sleeping you can press any button to speed up the night (it will actually pass in almost in instant).

8) You can literaly drop potions from your inventory, so if you want to line them up in front of customers for immersion - go ahead, displayed potions don't disappear at night.

9) Using _shift_ allows you: craft potion via saved recipe using all available ingredients, buy/sell the whole stack of ingredients to any merchant

10) You can _hold_ mouse button for speeding the process of getting the amount of ingredients you buy/sell.

11) If you mixed a potion you can't sell to any customer - sell it to merchants for small money. Btw all the merchants buy all your potions and reagents. The price seems to be the same for all though.

12) If the customer refuses to buy your potion - you only have 2 more tries (3 in total) to guess what he needs.

13) While bargaining for better price you can use Space button, instead of LMB.

P.S. More things may be added

after u crush ur ingredients, were it appears done, scape the bowl (best words i have) to get a little more out of the ingedient

@thegreatpie
cool ok uhh yeah makes sense concidering the opposite effects make nothing useful

[thegreatpie]

It's worth noting customers don't seem to buy ANY potion with opposing effects, not just healing/poison: slippery/glue, fire/ice, thunder/thunder protection... these are all examples of inert potions no one will buy except merchants for a pittance.

That's correct. 90% of all potions can be made T3 without rotation, split roughly 60/40 between water and oil.

Only thing I can think is that the T3 magic resistance can be acquired (without rotations) in the oil base map instead of the water base map.

@ Space Core

How do I rotate a potion (using moon salt) when moon salt itself requires a Tier 3 Magic Resistance potion (which is upside down on the map, requiring a rotation)

????

[Mr.Derp]

Rotate potions with different salts. Moon salt is the first that lets you rotate. Idk about the other ones, tho.

[Myrrhb]

You put the salt into the potion you're making. Be careful, the closer the container is to the pot, the faster it will turn the bottle.

[Emma-B-Doodlen]

indeed how do you rotate potions? I am stuck cause i simply cant rotate.

[onmyoji]

What is not really obvious to me is how to rotate a potion? I even saw in a guidance that the lunar salt is needed. But how do I supposed to make the lunar salt, if it needs alread rotated potions?
