Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Alchemy problems

Hi there,
I am having some problems using alchemy. I have level 2 in alchemy, I know that I have to drag an empty flask over a herb to make a potion. But nothing happens, the flask always lands behind the herb. So, am I to hold down a key to make it work? Or what am I missing?

Hello. With level 2, you can only make small potions; make sure you are using a small flask. Also, your character must stand very close to the herb/mushroom for it to work. It sounds like you are not close enough, and are throwing the flask on the ground by accident.

Hi Flixerflax, Thank for your advice I probably wasn´t close enough, even if I did use the small flasks. But it works now.

Ummm Ive Been Through DD Heaps But I Never Got The Alchemy Skill...
( Wasnt Interested )

Is It A Gud Skill To Get?

Level 1 of Alchemy allows you to mix health and mana potions to create restoration potions. Higher levels let you create potions from empty bottles and appropriate ingredients, which can be handy but isn't really needed for health or mana potions (could be more useful for poison potions; I'm not sure how easy they are to come by).

You can get a level of Alchemy as a quest reward in the Dark Forest, and it can show up as an equipment bonus on armour or jewelry.

Hmm so not really?

And Poisons Are Easy To Get...

*SPOILER* ( If U havent Done {Find A Cure For The Plague) Look Away...






When U Expose Elrath U Can Move An Empty Flask Over The Barrels To Fill Them Up With Poison =D

Poison Barrels that is...

I would guess you probably could, but I've never tried that.


Restoration potions can be much more effective than individual health and mana potions, so level 1 of Alchemy is quite useful. Higher levels are not, IMO.
