Draught of Brains

[Saluki]

I bought a draught of Brains and hoping it would mean a permanent + Intelligence.

 

Turns out it didnt come with instructions. I cant equip it and it doesnt show up under the Use Item choice. There is no Activity or Ability that says "Drink Potion" what gives?

 

Maybe it's a paradox. In order to be smart enough to figure out how to drink whats in the bottle, you have to drink whats in the bottle.

I have a similar question about "Pigments of the airy void" -- perhaps I missed that part of the manual?

Haha! I'll ask the team to investigate these two- there may be an issue with their use if the do not appear under your Ability menu.

 

Thanks!

The Effects of the Draught of Brains looks correct- the Ability is has is named 'Draught of Brains'. You should be able to find this Ability, assuming that:

 

1) You have Identified it.

2) It is in your Knapsack.

 

Could you double-check this?

 

Thanks!

Well I looked at it and scrolled down to where it lists the ability of the potion and doing so reveals that it is a 1 point increase for four days, I sure wish I knew that when I bought it.

 

In any event I put it in my backpack but "Draught for Brains" does not appear in either my selectable things to do or in my list of abilities and actions.

Yes- and I've already asked the Content Team to update that in the Item's Description for DLC 8.

 

Now, regarding the Draught- have you identified it yet? Unfortunately, due to engine limitations, you have to identify the items you purchase...even from Merchants.

???

 

No I didnt identify it. I will in one minute, but let me ask, do you mean to tell me everything Ive ever bought from a store and/or catalog has to be identified before I receive the benefits?

[Schwarzbart]

Wow thats the first time I read that a item that is purcased from a Mercant have to be identified to be working ... bether saying to have be identifed at all to be working.

So the Draught for Brains is kind of special? Because I never haved to identify a item so fare to get its effect (active or passive).

[Saluki]

Ok back from the Artifact Registry. It says I succeeded at it. Draught doesnt display any more info than it did before. Also it still doesnt appear anywhere as an ability.

[Legate of Mineta]

I may be in error, but as I understand it, any active (on use) Ability needs Identification. Passives can be equipped, and their bonuses kept, without Identification.

Thanks! I believe I will need to look at your save. Could you pm me a RapidShare link?

 

Also, can you press F12 and verify which version of the game you are using?

 

Thanks again!
