Potions on green?
I don't ever remember using potions in vanilla EQ. i remember at some point that Shaman could start making them but that was it.
Will vendor pots be available at launch? Most curious about cloudy potion in particular. Also, when did they add potion making for shaman characters? Thanks. | ||

Alchemy was busted for a long time in the original game. Verant lied about it for quite awhile before finally fixing things. I have no idea whether P99 will replicate that problem but I feel pretty confident the admins here won't replicate VI's lies.

It was far from the only thing VI lied about. Original Fiery Avenger quest, anyone? Danth | |||

I can't imagine P99 is looking to replicate this kind of stuff that the game was notorious for. Leaving in an obvious design mistake like the hybrid penalty, or letting items pending future nerfs exist in the name of era accuracy is one thing, but having stuff be actively malfunctioning doesn't seem like part of what they intend to emulate. | |||

vendor potions were added some time after launch as a melee balance and plat sink.
alchemy potions were broken in so far as it was bugged to near impossible to skill up initially (beta testers started with 100+ skill, so they didn't pick up that it was hard to level up low starting skills). | ||

Ok thanks guys. Hate that run through Runnyeye and the Gorge. I never realized invisibility potions were even in the game until recently lol.

Vi would create a character, set its level then set the skill level and would be able to create potions without issue. Also the original alchemy pots were much different then what we have now. I don't remember the details, but I want to say every component was a drop from a mob. | |||
