A couple questions

[Faerie]

Hi all! I've been playing for a little while and got a few questions, I tried searching for the answers but couldn't find them.

- Is there a way to know what spell components are necessary for mage spells? Like either a list, or something in game, like a fake spellbook? Because it's kinda silly for a mage to memorise spells and find out in the midst of action that it won't be cast for lack of a component

- I found some "points of interest", which mentions something about an explorer badge. What's this about?

- Is there some guides to know recipies for tradeskills apart from ingame? And is there some way to know what are the components for infusing and such? I didn't see recipie cards for some of the skills and don't know what I should carry.

- Is it normal that we cannot craft regular sugar? I can do powdered sugar, but not the regular one, or am I blind? Just wondering, as it is pretty much in demand for many food crafts.

- Is there a way to empty a filled water bucket without losing it from the inventory when you drink from it? Sorta silly it won't get empty and back in the inventory

Thank you for the attention, will post some more later!

Because it's kinda silly for a mage to memorise spells and find out in the midst of action that it won't be cast for lack of a component    The spell description in-game lists material components required, I believe.  You can also find that in LORE.  - I found some "points of interest", which mentions something about an explorer badge. What's this about?  I think the extent of it at this point is that clicking on the flag gives you XP.  Just an encouragement to get out and see the world.    - Is there some guides to know recipies for tradeskills apart from ingame? And is there some way to know what are the components for infusing and such? I didn't see recipie cards for some of the skills and don't know what I should carry.  Um... I don't know. >_<  - Is it normal that we cannot craft regular sugar? I can do powdered sugar, but not the regular one, or am I blind? Just wondering, as it is pretty much in demand for many food crafts.  Sugar cane stalk + press = sugar cane juice; juice + oven = sugar crystals; crystals + mill = powdered sugar, which is actually granulated sugar.  - Is there a way to empty a filled water bucket without losing it from the inventory when you drink from it? Sorta silly it won't get empty and back in the inventory  I'm not sure what you mean.  Sorry. >_<

Each spell description IG should include its material components.  Also, follow the links to LORE and check out the "Spells" link there for a description of all spells on the web.

- I found some "points of interest", which mentions something about an explorer badge. What's this about?

There are "points of interest" on each of the major continents/servers.  The "badge" so far is only a journal entry saying you've found them all in the partcular region.  It's a new system... designed to get people to explore more.

- Is there some guides to know recipies for tradeskills apart from ingame? And is there some way to know what are the components for infusing and such? I didn't see recipie cards for some of the skills and don't know what I should carry.

I've been working on a spreadsheet off and on for some of that.  Unfortunately, the skills without recipe cards are the same ones I'm thin on.  Best bet for now is to look at the recipes in-game at the appropriate craft station, and take notes.

- Is it normal that we cannot craft regular sugar? I can do powdered sugar, but not the regular one, or am I blind? Just wondering, as it is pretty much in demand for many food crafts.

"powedered sguar" is the same as regular sugar.

- Is there a way to empty a filled water bucket without losing it from the inventory when you drink from it? Sorta silly it won't get empty and back in the inventory

Ok... I can honestly say I've never drank from a water bucket IG.  Other than using it with a recipe that requires a filled bucket, I know of no other way of emptying a bucket.

Many thanks Sweet info, especially the sugar, I was fearing massive bills for the buying of loads of sugar!
