It seems that it's not possible to learn Knowledge Brew at all in the game — the only way you can acquire them is by finding or buying individual vials within the scenario. Was this a last-minute change to make skill points more valuable? Also, I've noticed that when you sit down to make a whole batch of potions you can only make three or four (I forget how many exactly) before you are unable to make any more — each attempt after that fails with a 66% change or something like that. Your potion making skill seems to have no effect on this, nor does the amount of ingredients. Was this feature put into the game to reflect the fatigue of the person making the potions? In my opinion it's a welcome addition, and makes the game more realistic. There's no way a person could sit down and more 3 dozen graymold salve batches in one sitting, no matter how many ingredients he had. Making potions must be nerve-wracking work, fiddling around with dangerous chemicals. I'd certainly get very tired very quickly, that's for sure!

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Tuesday, June 8 2004 11:11 Profile Homepage #1 I just tried this, and the last one is an Invulnerability Potion recipe (not Elixir, but Potion). I added some recipes after that (17, 18, 19), and oddly enough, they showed up in the store, and I could buy them, but they were just the text strings that describe the potions, starting with the Healing Potion (so for 900, you can buy the text string "Recipe: Heals damage," which does nothing). This sounds like a tidbit for the next edition of "Things That Work." -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.
