Subject: MM7: Potions List From: hawkins@grad-ea-7.oac.uci.edu (Donovan Hawkins) Date: 10 Jun 1999 22:57:00 GMT Newsgroups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.rpg I have compiled a preliminary list of potion combinations. They cover everything that can be made at Expert Alchemy level. I can't figure out how to get to Nighon to get Mastery (I just got to Harmondale, and only went to the Tularean Forest to get Alchemy Expert, and will reload before continuing on). If anyone has a savegame with Mastery (and/or GM), please email me and I'll run the combinations and repost. I'll rewrite the list to tell you how to produce a given potion (rather than what you get when you mix two things) when its complete. POTION MIXING LIST: by Donovan Hawkins hawkins@uci.edu Feel free to repost/upload/etc., just credit me a little ;-) Disclaimer: Nothing in life is guaranteed, even this. You may not sue me, here or in Erathia.
