I have two games running - magic and nature. Magic matured quicker but I have now solved the puzzles in both games. However, my collections are not complete; the ampitheater looks like it needs repair and what about the remaining pile of loose stones left after repairing the bath? Would like to hear from someone who has progressed father than me!

Looks like you answered your own question... You still have projects to complete now right?

Oh Grace----can you give me a little hint?? I have worked with my chief and master builders and master sciencists - various potions, dropped people everywhere and am stumped. What are the symbols above the rosebush area? I've played over there too......and so far nothing. I can understand needing to complete the collections which just takes time...is that it?
Help!

Yes, you were correct...the rubble looks slightly suspicious - why dont you try placing a builder on it?
Even I, with 4 finished games, are unsure of the symbols above the rosebush. I am assuming it is some kind of code language that the villagers have to decipher in VV4 or something.

I saw on another post that it was [Click and drag mouse over for the section below for Spoiler -like invisible ink lol] the recipe for the potion that makes you jump high enough to get that key. I don't know if that is right... I can't dicipher those symbols. hahah but I used a potion list to get the key recipe. You can get one of many (lists) from the guide section. Hope that helps. [end spoiler]

I've never been so curious about the symbols, but if you need the recipe pm me

There is a recipe guide here: http://www.ldwforums.com/attach/4140-potionlist.png

That is the potion recipe: Look at the symbols, then the recipe.

In addition, both shark potions are presented elsewhere in this manner, as well as the "doesn't feel the need to breathe" stew in VV2.
