Caster level of crafted potions
« on: February 28, 2021, 11:05:39 AM »
Protection from Elements crafted potion is now caster level 3. It's a third-level spell, so you can't cast it till level 5. Shouldn't all potions be at least the minimum caster level required to cast the spell? Now it won't stack with potions made before the update, and all you've done by changing the caster level is change the duration of the spell if nothing is happening. It will still end after absorbing 40 points of damage regardless of whether the caster level is 3 or 30.

This is intentional and not a bug.

It's intentional that the caster level of a potion is LOWER THAN THE CASTER LEVEL REQUIRED TO CAST IT?

Is it also intentional that the Cure Critical potions made with ingredients found around Vallaki now have a lower caster lvl than the Cure Critical Potions made with ingredients found elsewhere?

Don't you think that will mean that higher lvl characters will stop paying lower level characters for the ingredients around Vallaki?

It’s also intentional since we want to discourage high levels from hanging around the low level hub.
