    Hi @DarkStarr -

    Is this game open world PvP with full loot, or has this been discussed elsewhere?

    Maybe there was some confusion between GMT and UK time. The game launched at approximately 16:30 British Summer Time (what the UK is currently using), which is 15:30 GMT. Until daylight savings time ends, the central US time zone is only five hours behind GMT.

    Can you confirm this is actually in the current build?

    No starting recipes for this or cooking.

    Not to belabor this, but I'm looking for the actual recipes, not the potions themselves right?

    I noticed that the crafting and gathering tools for other crafting skill trees have durability and are not labeled "decoration". Where as the mortar and pestle is labeled as "decoration" and has no durability. Do the vendors have the recipes for sale? Or are they laying around in books? I'm not trying to spoil anything here, but these are relatively new game mechanics, I didn't even know we could buy the actual recipes from vendors (like on paper?).

    You can buy the recipes on paper in Ardoris. Thanks for catch. Forgot to mention that you can now buy recipes. Will add that.

    I *think* I've talked to every vendor in town, so if someone has found these recipes, please let me know.

    I found the recipes (along with many other types) in Owl's Head, one of the shop houses near the College of Arms (there are cows and chickens running about). :D

    Thanks, I found it (in Owl's Head) after some searching. :)

    So I purchased the recipes. I entered them in my book. Here's the thing, I've tried to actually make healing potions and focus potions, and I can't do it. The craft button doesn't light up when I place all the needed items on the alchemy station. Nor can I click on the recipe in the book and have the items go onto the alchemy station (like you can do with other crafting skills - as I remember it).

    So either I'm doing something wrong (which is quite possible!) or it's not really build into the game yet (or it's a bug).

    One more thing, it costs a minimum of 120 gold to get the ingredients to make a healing or focus potion, the end value is listed at 100 gold and you can presumably only sell back to NPC vendors at 50 gold. I know this is pre-alpha and we're not to that stage in the economy yet. But it seems like an easy fix to change the list price of potions to 210 gold. That way NPC vendors will give you back 105 gold on a sale (which is like nothing but at least it's something) and that will at least encourage people to try it out (test it).

    Getting to the tour guide in the mysterious swamp is crazy. like 500 skeletons, he just gets killed instantly.

    Actually I found the tour guide near the entrance at the swamp.

    It was the dungeon one to the south that got me. It's possible, just don't follow the path. I died a few times before figuring out a route that allowed my to get around most of the skeletons there.

    To Devs, I like the idea of resurrecting at the scene where you last entered.
