Potion Brewing

I am sure you all are aware and will get to it when you can, but I just wanted to make a note that potion brewing prices are way off. When it is fixed, I'd like to know. Coolness.

I'm just regurgitating what the DM's have told me: The crafting system is being worked on (potions, wands, scribing, etc), but it is a lower priority compared to more pressing things like quests.

Hold hands with me while we wait :)

Prices on potion brewing, scroll scribing, and wand making may be fixed. We need feedback, though.

Hopped in game for a quick moment to try scroll scribing: 5 xp and 125 gold to make burning hands. It still feels high (perhaps it hasn't changed)...buying the blank scroll was 7 gold, and the scroll itself costs 126 from the gnome.

However, I don't have experience on another server or a solid familiarity with DnD/NWN to guage these prices. Basically just my reporting.

That's still pretty high and it doesn't seem like much changed.

I'll test it out tonight. Hazzah!

Still broken. I tried to brew a potion with over 500 gold, no dice.

Just out of curiosity, what kind of prices are you thinking?

Yeah, still broken. Should be fixed soon though!

Okay, it should be working now. (honest!)

I've been informed that scroll scribing also works now. Excellent!

I'm guessing that wand crafting works, although it may be overpriced (pricing for fifty charges, but only getting twenty five). I'll be doing some testing later tonight to verify this.

(later tonight) Yep, verified.

I already spoke with you about this Arkov, but I figured I'd make a note of it.

I can't seem to brew cure serious potions as a third lvl spell or as my second lvl domain spell. I meant to try to brew a different 3rd lvl spell, but didn't have the chance to try it. It might be an issue with the domain? I don't know. Are there any other brewers that have tried this?

Kudos though, other then this everything works fine.

I seem to remember domain spells have dodgy spellhooks so it may need to be exceptionalised but don't quote me.

Just to report, the 3rd level wizard spells DO work, so I would think it's limited to the cleric/domain spells.

Did you check the Innate Level of the spell? That's what determines if a potion can be brewed.

Innate lvl?

Having the same problem as PanamaLane, but as Colburn wrote it might be connected to Innate lvl, it's 4 on cure serious wounds.

PanamaLane Innate lvl?

Sorry for the late reply.

Yes, innate level. Each spell has an innate level. It determines multiple factors. If someone casts Ethereal Visage, which renders you immune to level 2 spells and lower, and someone casts a Searing Light on you (Level 3 Cleric spell), it hits. But it also hits when a Cleric with the Sun Domain, which grants a Searing Light at level 2, casts the level 2 version on the target, since it has innate level 3. If you examine all spells, you notice all have an Innate Spell Descriptor. That's maybe why prices are off, or why things won't work.

It could also be, because you try to cast a Domain spell?

It is certainly one of those issues. The thing is not only can I not cast cure serious at lvl 2, but also at its innate lvl 3.

This has been fixed.

Crafting for potions should be fully working.

Prices for wands of spells which can't be brewed as potions may be too high. Keep me informed.
