I have level 2 nature faction and my potion for killing the sharks keeps blowing up on me, potion is..pitcher/orchid/orchid
If any one has an answer to take the load of Arthur and so I can take villagers of pause it would be very welcome. Many thanks to Jazzo for his help.

First, you really shouldn't bother Arthur for questions that can be answered in the forum. He has a lot to do now, and he isn't a substitute for the forums. None of us are.

Second, the blowups are caused by inadequate Alchemy tech. You will find the tech screen descriptions very helpful (click the "?" next to each tech).

Keep trying it, Skwgle. A higher tech level in alchemy will help you.

So level 2 isn't high enough?

The blowups won't stop completely until you reach Level 3 of Alchemy Tech.

Heaps of apologies to Arthur

Thank you LadyCF, I thought level 2 was high enough and wasn't sure if I had a glitch, my computer, or just me.

Thanks for the encouragement Xay.

No problem. Hope it helped.

Skwgle, I didn't mean to sound like I was yelling at you. We just don't have the time to be all flowery right now, and sometimes I say only what needs to be said in as few words as possible. I really don't mean to be unkind.

Barbara could never be unkind! *pffts at the very idea!*

No worries LadyCF, I didn't take anything personal, I hope I didn't give the impresion I was offended. You all do a wonderful job and know you are all rushed of your feet and haven't taken or had time to celebrate the huge success of VV3.
