Feasting or Spirit restoration?

Mon, 31 Oct 2011 03:44:55 +0000

Which would be a better way to make money. Considering I use feasting as food. I was thinking about going with spirit restoration.

Extracts and CF

Sat, 31 Jan 2009 06:19:14 +0000

Ive been harvesting the flowers for the First 4 extracts for RVMs and end up with 4k of each (100 extracts, 50 RVM's) ,but Ive been debating if I should Mix on Non Scholars days or Save the flowers for mixing on scholars day. I guess it comes down to this: Do I want to wait for more Exp and CF (in which case, leveling muling would be have to be put on hold) or Do I want exp and CF right then and there? The only problem with NOT waiting for scholars day is what if the next day is scholars day and I dont have Ings for Scholars day. Its always that fear of "what if the next day is awesome" that gets me.

So whats your opinion on this matter?

Crazy recipes and useless pots

Wed, 10 Oct 2007 02:29:39 +0000

I don't know if this post should be under "suggestion" forum but... I'm sad about the potion skill. I was really happy to become a good potter but day by day I feel it's useless very very limited. There are some problems I find:

Too many "only-dropable" books (true sight, poison antidote, etc... invisibility? accuracy? evasion?)
The best hp recovering pot we can make recovers only 50hp!! I find when you reach certain level and begin to use items like CoL these pots are useless
Because of the before point the only resource for hp recovering seems to be magic. That's an strong point in my opinion. Maybe i'm wrong but I find potions should be an alternative to magic, and seems heal potions are only a temporary response to that need of healing (supposing there's any time they're a reponse for the "healing needings")
Our best "hp recovering" pot has an _ONLY DROPABLE STONE_ in its recipe!!! I find crazy our best hp rec. pot recovers only 50hp but I think about its recipe and I can't avoid the laugh. So, I don't have enough with the "low" hp it recovers, I have I can only make it if I drop a binding stone harvesting in a mine!?!?

I've been searching for responses and other opinions to these problems and found nobody thinks different about them so I write them here to find what is the "reality".

In my opinion: a recipes revision should be done, the difficult to get a poison antidote book is a problem (maybe only for me :-S ), and the potters need better hp recovering potions (and _maybe_ better mana recovering pots too), but it doesn't mean we need new potions with so much hard recipes we find too difficult to done them that we finally don't make them.

Maybe I'm wrong in some of these points, maybe in all of them, or maybe I've told some trues here but I write only to know what's the reality of all of that. This is not an attack against the developers or whatever, it's only my opinion and the thing I've found talking to other players. I only find appart of the "profession pots" the potters should have good mana and life recovering pots.

I only hope I'll get understood by everybody. Thanks a lot for the patience and the interest on reading my ideas.

Here comes the spanish translation, why not??

Title: recetas de locura y pociones inutiles. Necesitamos pociones mas potentes.

No se si esto deberia ir en el foro de sugerencias pero... estoy triste sobre la habilidad de potion. Estaba realmente contento de llegar a ser un buen potter pero dia a dia siento que esta muy muy limitada. Hay algunos problemas que encuentro:

Demasiados libros "solo-dropeables" (true sight, antidotos, etc... invisibility? accuracy? evasion?)
La mejor pocion de recuperacion de HP que tenemos recupera solo 50hp!! Pienso que cuando lelgas a cierto nivel y empiezas a utilizar objetos como la CoL (corona de vida) esas pociones son inutiles
Por el punto anterior la unica fuente de recuperacion de hp parece ser la magia. esto es un punto fuerte en mi opinion. tal vez este equivocado pero creo que las pociones deberian de ser una alternativa a la magia, y parece que las pociones de curacion son solo una respuesta temporal a esa necesidad de curacion (suponiendo que en algun momento sean una respuesta a esa necesidad)
Nuestra mejor pocion de recuperacion de vida tiene una _PIEDRA SOLO DROPEABLE_ en su receta!!! Encuentro una locura que nuestra mejor pocion curativa recupere solo 50hp pero pienso en su receta y no puedo evitar la risa. Asi, no tengo suficiente con el "poco" hp que recupera, ademas solo la puedo hacer si dropeo una binding stone recolectando en la mina ?!?!

He estado buscando respuestas y otras opiniones a estos problemas y no he encontrado a nadie que piense diferente sobre ellos asi que los escribo aqui para encontrar cual es la "realidad".

En mi opinion: deberia hacerse una revision de las recetas, la dificultad para conseguir un libro de poison antidote es un problema (tal vez solo para mi :-S ), y los potters necesitamos mejores pociones de recuperacion (y _tal_vez_ mejores pociones de recuperacion de mana tambien), pero eso no quiere decir que necesitemos nuevas pociones con recetas tan duras que encontremos tan dificiles que terminemos por no hacerlas.

Tal vez este equivocado en algunos de estos puntos, o en todos ellos, o tal vez haya dicho algunas verdades aqui pero escribo solo para saber cual es la realidad de todo esto. Esto no es un ataque contra los desarrolladores o lo que sea, es solo mi opinion y el pensamiento que he encontrado hablando con otros jugadores. Solo pienso que aparte de las "pociones de profesiones" los potters deberian tener buenas pociones de recuperacion de vida y de mana.

Solo espero haberme dado a entender a todo el mundo. Muchas gracias por la paciencia y por el interes al leer mis ideas.

SR vs Atk potions

Mon, 12 May 2008 12:40:17 +0000

I've been trying to decide which of these to work on.

I'm concerned about things like demand, cost of ings and selling price.

Which of these, if any, would you go with to gain pot levels?

SRS

Sun, 05 Aug 2007 14:18:11 +0000

I was just sot of wondering how many srs people have made as potioners. I have made something in between 6,000 and 7,000. Anyway i know people have made more that that, but just to see what higher levels have made.

A question

Fri, 09 Nov 2007 03:08:40 +0000

Was just wondering if you all notice your crit rate go up every 10 levels or so. Because i did nothing but SRs from lvl 47-51 and at 48 and 49 i was usually 97-100% on every batch, once i get to levle 50 and 51 i drop to about 90-95% which i know isn't horrible but i just found it interesting. Any way just wanted to see if anyoen else noticed this.

EMPs

Sun, 23 Sep 2007 13:43:37 +0000

Now i have just gotten to a lvl where i feel comfortable to mix EMPs. I have start on making 200 atm and i was just wondering if other potioners being lvl 40+ liked making them. I think its good potion exp. because with no will it is 295,000 exp on a 200 EMP project. Then on top of that you make 70-80k gc. So all I ask is to post your ideas about if you like to make EMPs or not.

Higher level pots

Wed, 05 Sep 2007 12:53:11 +0000

I have just been thinking about when i want to start making eva/acc pots and was just wonder, is the time it take to get the fur worth the exp/profit your get? Bacause 4 racoon/skunk furs for acc/eva pots can take while to get. OR would it be more worth it just to buy the furs? Anyway i was just wondering seemed like a very time consuming potion imo.

Mon, 13 Aug 2007 03:00:25 +0000

Engineering Potions

Mon, 06 Aug 2007 15:49:36 +0000

Ok,

I rarely post, however, when I make the new Engineering Potions, I get disconnected from EL, and was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this problem.
