Using Skill Potions on 1.5b
« on: January 15, 2012, 09:08:06 PM »
Greetings to all.
I need some advice, i'm playing 1.5b and i got this skill potions as a reward, but looks like it does nothing.
Whenever i use it i got this advice if i'm sure, answer yes and then...nothing. Am i doing something wrong?
Thanks and excuse my bad english.

as far as i remember from when i played hellgate revival 1.5B, you got them to simulate blink to help with the enbankement quest, as part of the chain.. they never did anything for me , so i think it was never implemented fully

Thank you for your answer.
So it's not implemented yet. Well, i don't remember what quest gave me this 5 potions, it was before entering 314 mind for sure, but i can sell it for 200.000 paladium each. Good reward anyway.
I noticed ( i'm playing 3 characters ) that if you dont sell it nor use it, if you exit the game it desappear from your inventory, so take my advice.

I received about 5 of those, exited the game, came back and found only one. Then I used it. Damn...

I don't know of any item that does this. Could you post a screenshot of it?

No screenshots, unfortunately, but they're labeled as "Unique Skill Potion" and I got 5 of them unstacked.

IIRC, Malachor was working on instituting a 'blink' potion (that used the same model as the 30 second 'speed' potion - whatever that is called) to allow players to tackle this mission in FPS view. Not sure if it was ever implemented though. When it was working (in testing) you could stand on the main floor of the building you zone into and click the potion which would 'blink' you through the wall and onto the street.

That mission is quite easy. Try this: click quickly at the edge of the screen to scroll until you see the big boss, forget your troops, then use the aereal attack over him (key '3', if i remember well). Sometimes the demon dies on the first attack, ignite damage takes him off quick, 3-4 strikes max. Just keep your troopers health with the cure command. While they're far, the boss and their minions can't attack them.

That's the way I did it most of the time too :P
The boss also appears to handle ignite really badly,as iirc it doesn't just ignite for a set time but all the way till it's down.At least in Normal mode it does,should work in Nightmare too.

I just got these. It's like guidolv said, they come with the embankment quest. I tried using one at the embankment; nothing happened. I tried selling them, but even though there was a 200,000 price tag on them, I got a message that I could not sell the items when I tried. :(  And after I finished and turned in the embankment quest, the rest disappeared.

Reading above comments, it looks to me as someone managed to sell them. If that's true, how did you do that?
