Does the "no overlapping" rule apply if the potion is made but sitting in the cauldron? I want to gather herbs as one is evaporating, but not if it will mess things up.

It's fine to gather herbs after the villager puts the 3rd herb into the pot.

Okay I gather the 3 plants. They are on the table. I have a villager start the potion and it's evaporating with a light thing coming out of the cauldron, and then it gets down to zero and no potion is ever made.

Thanks so much for the help by the way.

Have you tried dropping a villager on the pot right after you see the effects in the pot?

what you should do is put a villager on the pot while it is evaporating.

Oooh okay let me put a villager on the pot while it's evaporating didn't know I needed to do that. How silly am I! I hope it works! Thanks a bunch!!!!!

Okay I can do it now. Thanks for all the help.

I have this in another topic, but I am having trouble even making the potion I am trying to make. I have level 2 alchemy and nature, and the lab completed. I am trying to make the potion with the highlighted herbs above, but it just keeps blowing up. What am I doing wrong? Does it take awhile to get it to work instead of explode?

I got it! It took about 8 tries, but I guess you just have to keep at it.

is there somewhere I can get a list of combinations and what they are for when using the herbs?? This is only my second day with VV3... HELP!!!!!!!!! And, how do I get rid of the sharks????
