I can't think of a better way of enabling people to cross-reference (look for what their dull potion might actually be as well as look for what their PoGA might be called). If you can think of a better way then two tables, please tell me! Ascyron 05:30, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
I'll be rolling up a few merchants tonight or tomorrow, if I remember. Hopefully some of them will get far enough before they die to give more possible IDs for this page. Ascyron 05:56, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
I'm going through all of my old savegames. I'll dump everything in the talk page of Material based identify:Potions and will try to sort it out as time goes on. JellySlayer 06:10, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
I'm not sure how tractable this is going to be... there are many, many more potion names than there are potions, and they don't seem to be being assigned in any predictable way that I can see. See if you can make anything of this:

at least sort by weight...
Water and carrot juice are clearly fixed. I do not recall oil of rust removal having variations either...
i do suggest spliting by weight. there are some practical aplications as when sick you should go for 4s potions. Soirana 06:29, September 5, 2009 (UTC)
Is it worth also recording *relative* prices? After all, it would have to be useful to know that, when selling an uncursed potion of invisibility, you'll get offered somewhere in the vicinity of 5x the amount offered for an uncursed potion of water. Since water is a potion that is usually common enough, and easy to spot, it can be used as a reference for other potion prices, providing another way to sort the set.
Also, I was the one that went through and slightly altered the format of the tables. I've also added a fair few new listings. I've noticed three potions (other than water/carrot juice/oil of rust removal) that seem to always be the same, even listed with those unIDed descriptions in the guidebook.

After some tests with merchants I tend to think that coloring of the potions is completely random (except those with one fixed color) and the only clue you may get is the weight (i.e. 2s potion is neither poison nor any "potential" potion). I also assume that all attribute potions and potential attribute potions are 4s, all boost potions are 2s. I think it makes sense remove the first table except fixed colors and split the second table into 2s and 4s potions Clawbugmenot (talk) 11:33, April 7, 2016 (UTC)
I checked in exploration mode, strength potions were light blue, sparkly. Overall I think weight is fixed to pot type, I mean each type is eitehr 2s or 4s.Soirana (talk) 16:10, October 9, 2016 (UTC)
I think the weight itself is too weak to make some decision about the uselfulness of the potion. Unless all the dangerous potions like poison, sickness, oil etc are of same weight, which seems to be not the case. Clawbugmenot (talk) 16:09, October 11, 2016 (UTC)
I think most healing pots are 2s, the only ba done is oil removal which poisons, but that is always white. So overall in pnaic mode one should go for 2s pots, but since potion table is sortable by weight probably there is no need to add anything.Soirana (talk) 17:01, October 12, 2016 (UTC)
