Yes I know I misspelled failure, since I ran out of subject space. But anyway...

I'm having a problem using the alchemy skill. A few days ago, I was practicing alchemy. I even threw down 200 of my semi-hard earned platinum and then bought some water from the magic platinum to water conversion station. I then was dropping water in one at a time into my cauldron and just pressing the keybind for the "Use_Skill Alchemy". And it was working fine. Got the ocasinal failure here and there, but overall nothing really happened (other than I got some skill and made a cursed block of lead.).

Anyways, eventually while in the alchemy station, my cauldron blew up and destroyed a bunch of stuff. Myself included.

I got back and the cauldron was still there. So I dropped some water into it and used the skill alchemy on it.

Nothing happened. I just kept getting the message "You look at the objects nearby... and your feel like a .. you learn nothing more."

So I picked up the cauldron and then moved it. After putting it down, I fould I could not open it. So I stepped away and then stepped back on it. After stepping away and back on it, it would let me open it and put things in it, but then using the skill alchemy still gave me "You stand there looking like a moron." message.

So I step away from it and then step back on it. Use_Skill Alchemy...

"You stand there looking like a moron."

I can't do any alchemy now. I get that message reguardless of weather I try to identify alchemy realated items or not. It still dosn't work. Although eventually the items seem to get like identified out of nowhere but no extra skill is given and no confermation of me successfully identifying the items is given. I can't train alchemy now and I ended up wasinting my platinum on what is now useless water. I can't even gain skill from it now...



Also, why can't we fill empty bottles with water from a fountain or another water source? You mean I'm forced to drink bottled water?!?

Try using the same recipe but in a different cauldron, such as the one on the Scorn Alchemy shop.

Does it work there for you?

I'm using the one from the scorn achemy shop. I'll see if I can find a different cauldron and get back to you.

Okay well it looks like that its just that one cauldron that I cannot use properly. I still must drop a cauldron and walk away from it to use it but there then dosn't seem to be an issue. Perhaps the cauldron was supposed to be destroy'd and this is why it is unuseable.

Do you still have this broken cauldron?

Yes I still have the broken cauldron. Its in my invintory.
