Doubts about potions

[Gustavo]

Good morning/night gentlemen.


I have some questions regarding the creation of potions.



I'm new to the art of creating potions and I didn't find anyone who was able to help me, but my doubt is:

When I create potions , I spend about 1500 gp and 30 xp at 50 xp , to create lvl 15 potions

I would like to know if there is a way to create potions of a lower level, which doesn't cost me so much, so, I'll be able to sell them more easily, is there a way to create lvl 3 potions for example?

And How do I sell them to other players in the city? Do I need some permission?



Thank you very much for everyone's help.

Hello Gus.

By the costs, I'm guessing you're talking about potions made with brew potion feat. If so, there's no way to make the potions cheaper, as server is using the standard NWN crafting system with no additional modifications, apart from the fact that XP cost for crafting is halved.
Potion prices and levels are fixed per potion, list is easily available.

FRC also has a system for crafting potions using ingredients at a proper crafting table. The recipes for these crafting systems are not OOC public knowledge, so you'll have to discover those yourself by experimenting or see if you can get other characters/players to help you. I know some are more willing to share recipes, while other do guard their info rather jealously.
Effectively these crafting systems work by placing proper items in the crafting table, and if you have all necessary ingredients/items/spells/whatnot at hand, you'll be prompted with DC and cost and asked if you wish to craft the item or not.

As for selling them, you can sell them freely, but if you don't have a merchant's license (costs 10k gold) and are caught doing it, you will be fined and jailed.
Also bear in mind, that there's lots of NPC shops that sell potions, often cheaper than what you can craft them by yourself. I advice you to check those shops (one in Suzail has good selection to get started) and see if trying to craft and sell those potions is actually worth it.

Hope that helped, feel free to post if something else comes to mind, or just ping me on FRC discord or in game (same username as forums).

Welcome to the server.

Yes welcome to the server.  Most people I know who make potions do the simple herbals.

Potions are sold in many places for various prices.  We are lucky that FRC halved the xp cost for potions and scrolls.

As long as you are outside any city limit you can sell them. However as previously mentioned you do need the merchant license which is good in any city.

It costs 10k gold.  If you are interested you can post in the not so instant request thread for a dm to help.

You need to balance the cost of gold and xp and what you expect to get from selling.

Go to the local potion shops and temples to get ideas.

I think technically you have to be outside Cormyr, not just outside a city.

That's mostly for RP purposes, of course, particularly for Lawful characters. There's not much chance of a Purple Dragon wandering through the forest checking for merchant's licenses. Unless a DM is *really* bored.
