Alchemy Table

The "table of contents" for potions on the alchemy table now needs rearranging...Cure is not on the first page of potions anymore.

Essence of Cure or the actual Curing potions?
  I used those devices the other day and everything seemed to be where it usually is.  Curing potions span several pages and are in fact the last potions listed among that group of potions.

potions - I found the menu now led me to the page before the page with the cure potions on it

So everything's OK then?

No, the bug is exactly as I described.

Let me try to be more clear. When you get the menu "what do you want to craft",
you get a set of broad choices each of which takes you to another menu with a list of specific items grouped by type and alphabetic range. The set of broad choices on that first page is what I was calling the table of contents.

The first group of potions says it has the potions from A to Cure. If you choose that option, you will not find Cure, the last potion on the pge you get to is Cats grace. The cure potions are actually the first items in the second group of potions, and so the "table of contents" menu should be offering potions A - Cats grace, followed by a line "Cure to whatever" and so on.

I returned and verified this just before the system went down again.

Potions are in alphabetic order...I'm not sure Cure potions were ever on the first page.
  I'm just trying to understand what you're telling me.  I personally used the alchemy tables 2 days ago making Cure Serious potions and didn't see any problems.

He's just saying that there is no cure in the "A - Cure" group, because it is in fact A - Cat's Grace, and so should be called such. Then the next would be Cure - Whatever.

I assume, anyway, as I haven't even used the alchemy tables.

Hmmm...this is really odd.  I have no way of getting in game right now to see this for myself, but I do know that when I used the tables the other day, this was working correctly.
  Anyway, thanks for the report.

What Acacea said is exactly what I meant!

No chance that different characters get differences in the menus is there?

Shouldn't be any difference between characters.
  What is possible, though is that I zipped through the menus so quickly due to insane amounts of repetition on my part that I didn't pay any attention to them.
  Also, I now understand what you were saying, so it gives me something to look at.
  Thanks again.

These are all in the proper submenu, I'm not sure what you think the "Next" button does, it goes to the next recipes in that submenu.



Click Next

I think he meant the top-level menu, orth...where it says:
  Potions: Aid - Cure
  Or whatever.  The submenu is fine.

Yes, its the top level menu that is wrong. What Acacea said.

Augh........ It's working as intended.  Listen to me.

You click Potions Aid - Cure, on the second and third pages of that subcategory are the Cure Potions.  Am I missing something? The submenu does not imply ONLY ONE PAGE.  The Next and Previous are the next and previous pages in that Submenu.

Yes, go to the next page using the "next" option.

Jeez... Orth's already said it, but I had begun to wonder how long it would take people to figure it out.

It's set with multiple pages for each submenu to keep the top-level menu from overflowing times a bamzillion.

No worries; I get Nat 1s on my WIS and INT checks all the time. Kinda eerie, actually.
