HW part: Potion Making

[draconis]

I think it was mentioned earlier that it's perfectly fine to skip steps, as long as you get to the color you need. You need not get the green potion if your ingredient changes it straight to blue, you can just continue from there. The end justifies the means, eh?

Daze--it doesn't matter what colors you have, as long as your potion has a completely different color at each step.

What is the exact colours needed? Because some of you seem to have different colours at the end.

I got:

Red(starting colour) green, blue, purple, grey, pink, rainbow, -----, -----, red/white swirls.

When I got to my rainbow, I click a wrong colour, so I quickly clicked other ingredients to restart, but I managed to get the right ingredients and finished?

1. Do you need the green/yellow swirl?
2. If you get the green/yellow swirl are you wrong and have to start over?
3. What comes after rainbow?

Green and yellow swirls are one of the colors needed to finish. They way you know you're wrong is if your color doesn't change or if it changes to a color you've already had. As for a list of colors, there's one on the walkthrough and I also posted one on the first page of this...post...towards the middle, in blue font.

EDIT
Or maybe what I'm trying to say is that green and yellow swirls don't mean you've done a bad thing

Like everyone's said, it's all logic. Your potion starts out red, so add an ingredient and see if it turns a new color (say, green). If it does, write down what you added and move on to trying to turn the green potion a new color (not back to red and not still green). When you find an ingredient that does that (say, turns it blue), write that down, and try to find an ingredient that turns it something other than red, green or blue... and on and on like that. Don't go backwards... get a new color on each step. It just takes trial and error and a bit of time, but is really quite simple.

The good thing about the potion making is that you always get the same result when you combine the same ingredients. For example, in my case adding leafy slorg to red potion always gave me blue potion. I suggest making a list of what potions do what. This is just an example:

red potion + leafy slorg = blue
blue potion + salt = purple
purple potion + crushed jurpberry = pink
pink potion + salt = 4 color
4 color potion +crushed jurpberry = green swirl
green swirl potion +salt = sparkly purple
sparkly purple potion + salt = red and silver swirl

This was actually the combination that gave me the red and silver swirl. Good luck!

Gah!

Some people still believe that a specific ingredient brings a color change for everybody. THIS IS NOT TRUE. It is random for each person.

Basically, its trial-and-error. You pick an ingredient, and if it changes color, thats good. If it turns back to the previous color, that's bad.

As someone mentioned before, here is the color guideline:

Red(starting colour) green, blue, purple, black, pink, rainbow, yellow and green, sparkling purple, red/white swirls.

You can skip color steps, so long as your progress towards the red and white swirls.

Write down your sequences. Remember, if it turns back into a previous color, thats the wrong ingredient!

[Amber Bellum]

this was my combination..
and the colors you have to get are the same

red-blue-purple-black or pink-rainbow-swirly-dark purple-red and white

(i think that was the combination)

mine was like this:

Bumroot
Leafy Slorgblossum
Bumroot
Leafy Slorgblossum ---> purple

Crushed Jurpleberries
Bumroot
Bumroot
Bumroot --- black or Leafy Slorgblossom -- pink
Leafy Slorgblossom
salt


Leafy Slorgblossom
Salt
Bronze Sansam --- black
Bumroot -- pink
Salt
Bronze Sansam
Crushed Jurpleberries
Bumroot

[ArwenEarendil]

If you added an ingredient (same as previous or not) and got no color change, ie. it was green and it stayed green, then you can omit that ingredient.

[tippey]

my potion order was
Leafy Slorgblossom, Bumroot, Salt, Bronze Sansam, Crushed Jurpleberries, Leafy Slorgblossom, Bumroot, Crushed Jurpleberries, Bumroot

the color order worked great, thanks for the help

[Daze]

Thanks guys.

For people who want to see what the potion colors look like, click on them to see the image. Remember, your basic color sequence can be very different. Sorry folks, somehow I lost the url for red and blue... but I think you can live with that. PM me if you have them

1 Red
2 Green
3 Blue
4 Purple
5 Black
6 Pink
7 Rainbow
8 Stiped
9 Shiny Purple
10 Red Infused

People! It's completely different for everybody, so there is NO NEED to post what ingredients you added. My salt turned a blue potion purple, but salt may turn your blue potion green or white or pink. I'm already tired of the "here's what ingredients I used!!!1" posts.

[yellowwizard]

Here was what I used for my second and third potions (note that the second time around it turned blue then green; the third time it went green to blue):

#2:

Bumroot -> Blue
Leafy Slorgblossom -> Green
Bumroot -> Purple
Crushed Jurpleberries -> Black
Salt -> Pink
Leafy Slorgblossom -> Multicolor

#3:

Bumroot -> Green
Crushed Jurpleberries -> Blue
Salt -> Purple
Bronze Sansam -> Black
Bumroot -> Pink
Salt -> Multicolor
Bumroot -> Pink
Leafy Slorgblossom -> Swirls
Crushed Jurpleberries -> Sparkling Purple
Bronze Sansam -> Blood in Milk

That's a good idea. Sparkly purple threw me off originally. Then I read the guide here and then I started to look for the sparkle part.

hmm...you may be able to eliminate it from the next step, but perhaps not from the process altogether. Also, if it doesn't change, you probably need to start over again.
