Ranger Glitches

This is my third time thru, 1st w/Trintiy.
Since the earliest opportunities I've been able to generate potions w/o the ingredients. Once I needed 5k and ginned off 70 undead powders so I could buy some armor. I've dug to the tunnels multiple times, never one buying a shovel, and they've broken many times. I'm a ranger knight, and still can't use the dwarf's runic sword. I've been to the herbalist area, cruised the road between B and the learning Tree - never meeting the salesman (even looking with the awareness skill for blue dots) and visited Nohrga's huts - and I've yet to encounter the people themselves, so haven't had the opportunity to transact.

Weapons that ACC lists as Ranger useable are red on my list. Now my game crashes while in the Northern Ter caves when using the poison, undead, hard shell powder and those baddies die. I'm using a G3 Bronze PB w/9.1OS.

Did I miss some trick early on or am I 20 lvls into a bug?

Could be, I started many a Ranger, and have not been able to make potions without the herbs or items. Have you tried to make another ranger just to see if this is persistent?

Lvl 0 and I cast the forest stew creation, haden't yet to leave the town square, so had no ingredents. When I went to deliver the child (reaching lvl 1) pgm froze me but let the goblin spear me. I could create more stews and live, but couldn't move.

Now THAT, is odd. I'm a Ranger, and the only glitch I have is that when I buy a flower for my potions, the cost shows up as zero. But it costs 50 or something.

The only bug I've had is with the multishot bow.

When I'm "too" close to a monster it only shoots 1 arrow. Must be looking for a range of 1 to 10 and when the monster steps "inside" my range it only shoots 1 arrow and displays the "no monster in range" message. Range check for that bow should be from 0 to 10 instead of 1 to 10?

I'm getting a new hard drive just for Coldstone... I'm waiting... patiently (almost).

------------------

I think I've found my problem. I've been using the Trinity plugin with the older (original) PoG. Now I start w/out the alchemy book.

------------------

I am seeing a couple of bug with the ranger Potions as well. When I use a bunch together it only says one wares off a bunch of times. If I use a hardshell, undead, sharpshooter, luck and is says luck runs out 4 times. Also using the seashell powder seems screwed up. I used two at once by mistake and now it never runs out and gives me any double XP. I have tried a couple of times and it says it won't do any good.

------------------

more odd behavior:
(posted this problem as a reply in an earlier thread, now it's solved)
my ranger couldn't create luck potions though he had all the ingredients ('cast' button was greyed out). He went back to the herbalist and bought one of every flower/herb/fungus/mold/weirdness there, and suddenly could cast the luck potion spell. it did use the listed flower ingredients (don't know which healing quaff it used), but for some reason he had to have one of each herb item before the option was enabled.

The big glitch is that I can't get out of spider mode. I've been just avoiding everyone for the last hour or so since the spider can't do too much damage right now. I usually was only in spider mode for short while (to run faster to places), but this time, it's stuck. Any suggestions on how to get out or do I have to start again? To test things out, I used a cheat so I could buy the minotaur book, and see if changing into a minotaur would solve it, but it won't let me use the minotaur potion. It's become annoying, though at first it was a bit amusing trying to play the entire game as a spider.

I also had a problem when i make the luck potion i can only make two of them at a time and it says that it ups luck 5 but it ups my luck about 50.

Old topic, but I´ve had the same problems. Potions won´t work

Do anybody have a solution to this?

What do you mean potions won't work? All potions(healing included) or just ranger
potions(luck, forest stew, etc)? Can you make potions with the correct components?

Are you running the latest version of POG(v1.0.1)? Or did you only download Trinity and
not get the latest POG update?

Is there any error message when you try to use a potion or do you click on "use" in your
inventory screen and just nothing happens?

Only ranger potions. Yes, I´m using 1.0.1
No error, the cast button doesn´t turn black
The only potion which is working, is the forest stew

Can you troubleshoot by using Gimlee's trick up above? Ie, go to the herbalist and buy
1 of every flower/ingredient, and then attempt to make a potion. When you try this does
the game let you create other potions?

Also, out of curiosity sake, what OS are you running?

Nevermind, I started a new a character, no problems there.
Thanks for the help anyways
