But, if you paste your text into TextEdit when you're done, and "Save" it as "simple text" (.txt) format, TextEdit should automatically turn all quotes into "simple" quotes. HTH!!
Thanks - I'll just copy and paste the whole thing into TextEdit when I'm done, save it, then close/open, and then copy and paste into here.

One more question I seem to have forgotten to ask:
Did cartography change between Books II and III? If so (or even if not), what is the point at which enemies become visible on maps (That is the final step, right?

I think enemies appear about level 14 cartography.

Level 1 is the same, but from level 2 on there appears to be more detail unless you wander into Mirkland.

If it's anything like Book II (see this entire thread...), it's more likely Level 16 cartography.

And I think that makes sense - I think Level 6 Reveal Map spell is equivalent to Level 15 Cartography, which is just one level short of what's needed to see NPCs and Mobs on the Minimap...

I just checked at cartography at level 13 I can't see monsters, but level 14 they appear.

Huh... Odd that BW changed that - I actually thought the way Cartography worked in Book II was mostly fine. This makes building a "Cartography-focused" character slightly easier in Book III (5 Levels in Cartography at start-up, plus 3, plus 3, plus 3, gets you to Level 14 - so you could "max out" your Cartography by a Level 4 character, rather than needing a Level 5 character like in Book II...).

I also wonder how the new Reveal Map spell "scales" in relation to this.. - I'd guess each casting Level in Reveal Map must scale with Cartography like so: Levels 3/5/7/9/11/13, but I'd like to know for sure...

Yeah, the two-level difference in Cartography with the previous Books comes in at level 3 (Book III) as opposed to level 5 (Books I & II). In books I & II, at level 3, all terrain (incl. water) was green, and obstacles were brown IIRC. To identify water and different color terrain (rock, soil, etc.) you needed level 5. In Book III, level 3 is sufficient to identify different terrain types.

Following up on Alchemy, specifically the partial Alchemy list here...

This is what I have for Alchemy, so far...:
[+] SPOILER

Code: Select all

LVL POTION                  INGRDEIENTS
1   Healing Potion I        Sulfur + Willow Bark
1   Mana Potion I           Ambergris + Mandrake Root
1   Cat's Eyes Brew         Noximander Venom + Brimstone

3   Detox                   Belladonna + Spider Silk  [Tier II]

4   Keensight               Dwarvish Mellowleaf + Mandrake Root
4   Demon Oil I (x2!!)      Corpse Ash + Brimstone

5   Haste I                 Dried Brainstem + Mercury
5   Nimbleness              Stinkroot + Mercury
5   Imbue Fire damage +1    Ectoplasm + Sulfur (+100 GP to weap.)
5   Imbue Cold damage +1    Ectoplasm + Corpse Ash (+100 GP)
5   Imbue Poison damage +1  Black-spot. Shroom + Noximander Venom (+50 GP)


6   Healing Potion II       Sulfur + Willow Bark  [Tier II]
6   Mana Potion II          Ambergris + Mandrake Root  [Tier II]
6   Elixir of Cure Ailment  Wormleaf + Willowbark  [Tier II]
6   Leatherskin             Brimstone + Raven's Heart
6   Harden Armor +1         Ectoplasm + Ambergris (+100 GP to armor)

7   Ogre Strength           Anise + Spider Silk  [Tier II]
7   Imbue ToHit +1          Auricflax + Mercury  (+50 GP)
7   Imbue Damage +1         Auricflax + Ambergris  (+100 GP)

8   Invisibility Brew I     Ectoplasm + Noximander Venom
8   Flask of Charm Cloud    Dwarvish Mellowleaf + Ambergris  [Tier III]

9   Greater Protection      Anise + Wormleaf  [Tier II]
9   Fortify Mana            Dried Brainstem + Raven's Heart  [Tier III]

10  Demon Oil II (x1)       Corpse Ash + Brimstone  [Tier II]
10  Haste II                Dried Brainstem + Mercury  [Tier II]
10  Imbue Fire damage +2    Ectoplasm + Sulfur
10  Imbue Cold damage +2    Ectoplasm + Corpse Ash
10  Imbue Poison damage +2  Black-spotted Shroom + Noximander Venom


12  Predator Sight          Stinkroot + Corpse Ash
12  Flask of Toxic Aura     Sulfur + Black-spotted Shroom  [Tier III]
[I can't confirm Level 12 for Harden Armor +2 yet...]
I can't test any more than this without creating a new character focused exclusively on Alchemy, but I am now nearly certain that Book III Alchemy works exactly the same as Book II Alchemy does, as there are no differences between Alchemy Levels in Book II vs Book III.

Uggh - sorry guys. I took a two week break from all recreation for my busy school work. Unfortunately that meant I couldn't work on the Walkthrough. I'm actually going out of state for a week tomorrow afternoon though, so I'm working my hardest to just get what I can. I don't think I'm going to be able to get it out before I leave though.
I'll try to get it out ASAP when I get back though.
