HW Plot Part: Sophie's lab (Split #6)

Fizzy, when it says the composition can't use more than 3 grams of an ingredient, it means it. That petpage must be wrong.

I am stuck on Platinum Mist and could go to bed if I could figure it out. ARGH!

Actually, this one worked for me. All four of the ingredients for this part, I used the Jurple Berries. so... have a go at it.

[polomoche]

Which one should I believe?

I can't say if it will work for you or not, but using all jurpleberries worked for me in both step 3 and 4. *shrug* Yeah, it doesn't make any sense, but there you have it. Again results may vary, but if you're out of options it's definitely worth a shot.

Sigh...now I'm trying to figure out the stoopid Psionic Singularity...I hope you're on to something sigh_driven, because I sure haven't had any luck. I think it must have Nova essence and Madvine in it...at least that is what I will tell myself, because it narrows down what I have to work with.

Thanks. I didn't quite trust it, but I figured I could ask here

[sily_sicily]

I'm soo stuck at the 3rd part.
I remember that the last time I did, the calculator had a problem and is counting wrongly.
Could that happen again? If it does...ARGH!!! (And I'll buy another one. )

0_o The jurpleberry solution worked great for me.

Well, that's not it. Platinum Mist is not soaked lawngrass with dessicated powder essence. (I was thinking along the lines of a dry ice effect. Heh.)
Back to the drawing board. *Poof!*

EDIT: I'm going to stick with working with Sharpgrass and Nova Essence, in case anyone out there wants to form a task force of sorts. Having said that, I am heading to sleep soon so might not exhaust that many possibilities. I sure wish TNT gave us a clue to work with for this one.

I don't suppose that anyone could tell me why I would get the black goo with this combination? I thought I had everything right

That happened to me too, I thought it was a glitch. For now, try this:

--
23g SPECTRAL ESSENCE:
20g Bloodfern Loam: soaked and crushed (both to max)
1g Bloodfern Loam: soaked and crushed (both to max), then dessicated until Conjuring=274
2g Leafy Slorgblossom: soaked, crushed, desiccated (all to max)
--

It worked for me.

[anjuna]

*nods* .. what jirachiex201 said .. i did the same thing (trying to experiment, ingenius me, rather than trusting in the process hehe) .. make sure you max out!

The conjuring value in your Specral Potion might actually be out of bounds. Even though it shows it as 276, it could be 276.1, making it more than 1 point from the target.

Alrighty I'll give it a shot, thanks for the advice.
So it would be 10g 10g and 1g for bloodfern loam then?
I did 777 so that might have been the problem.

Well, I decided to try it, and it worked. So I'm happy

Thanks everybody!

The divisions don't matter if you max them all out.

I'd suggest that you max out the soaking and the crush on all the bloodfern. Then just max out on any one method on the Slorgblossom. It doesn't matter which one. They'll all place you in the acceptable range.

[anjuna]

Platinum Mist is NOT 9g Sharpgrass (Dessicated to max) plus 1g Nova Essence (Burned and Crushed to max).

I feel like an incompetent witch LOL.

EDIT: Switching ingredients in impatience. Now trying Madvine Root and Bloodfern Loam, with this scene in my head of walking through a tree-stumpy peat bog. Probably time for me to head to sleep soon.

Working on Platinum Mist here too...so far, I've been using the Madvine Root and the Bloodfern Loam. They make such a pretty blue...like Platinum. heh I really hate to give up and start this section all over tomorrow, but I don't know how much more of this I can take tonight. Anyone else still working on the Mist-ical potion?
