Larian Studios Forums Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis (English) Help/Tips/Tricks What to do with Formulas ? (How to enchant?)

Hey guys, I found a lot of formulas (Enchantment/Potion making) but I have no idea how to use them. Any tip ?

Sell it and buy potions.




You have to collect ingredients and find specially skilled NPC
First one is a tree in Buad basement, then weapon enchanter in broken valley.
Later on you’ll have personal alchemist and enchanter at the tower.
99% of recipes are total junk. Keep only most expensive weapon and armor, best health, mana and stats. If you send unknown recipe or enchantment to tower it automatically go to one of these two morons, even if you don’t need it at all. Pay attention enchantments cost a lot of money and most of them are totally unusable by your character
Personally I found potion making confusing, annoying, not worth time and space in the inventory.
Later in the tower you’ll have 3 special ingredient collectors, but it takes a lot of time to collect all necessary ingredients.
I don’t use a lot of potions and prefer to buy from merchants.

Every time when you visit your smith/alchemist they got list of recipes updated and all related formulas being removed from your inventory. That is how it works.

Indeed
And sometimes you will find a same "Formula" again. Then you can "sell" these Fomula's.

Thanks guys.

First I thought I click on it then I learn how to do it but I'm still progressing (level 13)

Well I dont actually think it takes alot of time to collect ingredients. After getting the battle tower, I straight go full upgrade on my runners, and direct them to collect what I needed. After they went off, I leave the battle tower and re-enter again, 99% all 3 of the runners will be there with ingredients ready for me to collect.

And regarding the equipment enchantment cost, once I get the battle tower, I found that no gold being deduct for every enchantment I made, as I do remember that there is cost deduction while I did my enchantment in broken valley. Bit weird

I still don`t get it ...

so now that i hae my tower i have in my inventory about 30 formulas... do I keep them ??

i used the button 'send to tower' for them all and now they are all in my chest in the tower (wtf)
same thing with some of the necro parts (but for those i had about 10 of them and now I only have 2 in my inv)

how can i know what formulas the slaves have and what they don`t .

thx

Just take all your formulas in your inventory and visit your smith and alchemist. For smith, open enchant" window then select weapon, then close window. Tepeat the same actions for jewerly/armor items. Done. Check your inventory (personal one) which is full of formulas. YAY! They disappeared!
For alchemist there is no need to check everything since he has only one "brew window".

Got it?

Yes, so it works, thanks to Kein

And so I say earlier, sometimes you find a same formula twice again! Sell this formula because on that moment you have used already that first copy and on that case, the second copy remains in your inventory! ...

What I do: I write it on a paper which formula's I found and which I already used.
And some Formula's for enchanting are level 1, others level 5 or more! But higher level costs more ingredients, but also some rare Gem ore Ore!

You dont actually need to write it down. Just went over the enchantment platform and press enchant, all unlearned recipe will auto remove from your inventory. IF you need more cash, just sell low lvl recipe or useless ones. I only keep recipes like armor protection and weapon/ magical damage, as those directly affect my damage and defense capability, since I a more warrior oriented type.

There only 1 rare gem in the game, which is malachite gem, as its needed for 80% of lvl 10 recipes. The rest can be easily get through your runners, or while exploring the wilderness, dungeons and caves.
