crafting items

[bananarepublics]

I'm a new Witcher player and have got to the bit before Kayran is destroyed. Am trying to make mongoose but need special moss...anyway, I have some crafting diagrams in my inventory but when i go to a craftsman to make something my crafting screen shows i have 'no diagrams' in the inventory. What can i do about this as i cannot continue the game without necessary upgrades!

I'm a little confused about your post:

 

Are you asking about how to get the special moss?

Are you trying to CRAFT mongoose? It is a potion you make yourself (not crafted)

 

You must have all items required to make a craftable item with you (in your bag), otherwise the craftsman's menu will not display it. Click on the diagram in your inventory and review the list of items needed to make it. Be sure to let it scroll all the way down, since its easy to miss an entry at the bottom of the list. Also double check that you have enough of each item in your bag.

 

I'm not sure if this answers your post, but I hope it helps.

Thanks! I see that I have 'Formulas' for potions and that I'll need to head on down to the Elves baths for that moss - is there any way of locating/tagging/marking these places on the map? There was an orange indicator which would point me in the direction of active quests but that has stopped flashing on my mini map now - maybe because I went to the Bath ruins and found nothing. So 'diagrams' are required to craft stuff such as weapons or armour - is there any list of what can be crafted in Witcher2?

I would comment also that it is really hard trying to find enough ready cash to buy stuff in the game - I have turned into a looter of Inn bedrooms just to get by - not the noble character I thought I was playing initially! Where do you get decent amounts of orens from? I tried getting rid of Nekker colony underground - none remaining but don't see how to claim a reward...do I have to get rid of the lot of them from all of Flotsam??

Thanks for your time reading this drivel!

You need to destroy 4 nekker nests in the forest in order to claim the reward from Louis Merse The Endrega contract also need to see Louis Merse afterwards . Louis Merse is directly across the way from the tavern . Cash is always a needy item in Witcher 2 of course you can arm wrestle , talk to Zoltan , fistfighting is done in the basement of the tavern and you can always play dice of course selling items that you pick up can help .

 

If you open journal (J) and select certain quests when you exit the journal if the quest is trackable you will have a marker appear in your minimap
