How do I make a darn potion! I have all the ingredients and nothing is ever made. I have lvl 3 alchemy and lvl 2 nature and a few other things at lvl 2. I really need to get those darn sharks away so my villagers don't die. So please someone help me.

If you are not careful about "overlapping" the potions, you can easily end up with nothing. Make sure that you aren't gathering herbs for a second potion while the first one is being made.

I don't think I'm doing that. I just get the 3 herbs then let it do its thing..

But if I did somehow overlapped awhile ago with the herbs how do I get a clean slate? I've tried about 3 times to make the potion and nothing is happening.

Put some villagers to pick up these herbs:
(Highlight for spoiler) Pitcher Plant + Black Orchid + Black Orchid (end of spoiler)They will bring them in the alchemy lab, on the table. Then put a villager on the cauldron (in the chimey) and he/she will prepare the potion!

Does the first plant you listed have to go first? Cause I was doing the plant that you need two of first...

No, it can go in any order. It'll still make the same potion.

Doesn't matter! the herbs are all the three on the table then the villager takes them as he want to put it in the cauldron!!

Okay well then it's not working. Haha cause I've been using all those herbs. Found out what to use from the guide.

Well I just tried to do it again. No luck. I can never ever make a potion and I really need to make this one.

Maybe if you told us exactly how you are preparing the potion, we can figure out why it's not working for you.
