Potion Quests?

[Skystone]

A lot of people hate exploring/creating potions and I'm not entirely sure why. Potions to me is definitely one of the greatest features that I love about TWC today. That got me thinking, how can I introduce potions to new players?

As it stands, potions doesn't have any kind of tutorial, but I don't want to give a direct recipe to future potion students. We need them to experiment, and figure out these new combinations by themselves. From this I thought maybe we could have an NPC that gives a mini-quest to find different basic potions (health potion, mana potion, ya know... those simple but useful kinds).

There could be a small reward such as ingredients, money, arts, or maybe even an item that could help with potion making (TWC's in-game excel sheet?), just as long as it encourages new players to go forth and explore combining potions.

This could of course be into a full quest if there was an NPC in the woods that required a healing potion for a friend who bruised his/her knee, idk. I feel you can be very creative in creating new kinds of potion quests, just as long as it incentivizes noobies to make some of the most basic potions.

Make it. I've previously wrote a full quest scripting guide.
