I was trying to create a Lesser Injury Kit. I have all the required ingredients (in more than sufficient quantity) and also the required skill (Herbalism Rank 2). Then why doesn't the kit appear in the left hand side of the Potion interface?

I'm not sure what you mean by the "potion interface." What steps exactly are you trying to follow to make the Injury Kit?

I'm using Xbox 360. On the radial menu, I select "Potions", then "Herbalism". Then I get the "Herbalism" screen which displays some potion names on the left side under the heading "Restorative". But the "Lesser Injury Kit" doesn't appear in this list.

Unless it turns out you forgot to buy the recipe (which I don't think is even possible since if memory serves you get the recipe for that one by default) I can't help you. I'm on the PC, and it almost sounds like you're playing an entirely different game.

Thank you for your prompt responses. Honestly, I wasn't aware that you need to specifically buy recipes in order to make them. I had played another RPG before this game where if you know the ingredients, you can directly prepare the potion. In this game, whenever I  open the "Herbalism" menu, I can see three potions "Lesser Health Poltice", "Lesser Lyrium Potion" and "Marbari crunch". Since I never purchased  the recipes for these three potions in the game, I assumed that if you have all the necessary ingredients and required skill, the potion will automatically appear in the "Herbalism" menu. Isn't it like that? You mean a player has to buy a recipe for a potion before making it?

You do, indeed, need to buy recipes beyond the ones you get with the lowest level of each crafting 'tree'. The Lesser Injury Kit recipe can be bought from these merchants http://dragonage.wik...jury_Kit_Recipe

When you buy the recipe, you don't get an item or anything, it just directly goes into your 'knowledge', as it were, and you can craft it as soon as you have the right ingredients.

Thank you! I wasn't aware..The ingredients were just piling up in my inventory. Now onwards, I'll buy the recipes and start crafting! But I am disappointed though that one has  to even buy the recipe...the game shouldn't have made it mandatory...anyway not going to stop me from playing the game

Note that the high level recipes are pretty expensive (around 10 gold each).

That's too costly! But sadly I'm not an expert player..so I'm in frequent need of health poltices and injury kits ...

Keep in mind that your injuries are automatically healed every time you return to camp. This might save you some money with the injury kits.

And once you get to a high enough level, your spirit healer can just learn an aura spell that cures them with no more effort spent.

Yes, I remember that. But in between a long mission, when any of my team members recieve injury after a fight, I won't have any other option!

It's probably tougher if you play on anything harder than Easy (I am Bad At Games) but I've never found playing with an injury to be a noticeable problem - certainly it's less difficult than surviving a fight with one or more members of your party passed out on the floor. Obv it depends a bit what type of injury it is (e.g. a penalty to cunning may trouble some characters more than a penalty to willpower). I usually have Wynne in my party more or less all the time, though, as healing and Group Heal are super-handy. I also don't bother with many of the higher level poultices, I just buy armloads of elfroot (and pick all I can, but once you have met the Dalish guy it's so cheap you can buy a couple of hundred of them and not even feel the difference in your coin purse) and make a couple of hundred of the most basic ones every so often. Most of my characters don't seem to have a particularly huge health pool (I rely more on dexterity and armour than constitution as I noticed Alistair was dying super-quickly even with 260-ish health because his dex was awful so he was just getting constantly hammered) so I suspect the better poultices would also be a waste, a lower HP/healing from Wynne usually gets them up to at least 70-80% even from 30% or so.

 

(I also just really like Wynne, though, if you don't want her in your party so much, it's probably a bit trickier, I guess, esp as I can't bring myself to have Morrigan learn more than a very basic healing spell, and I'm sure she spits every time she casts it...)

I horde the injury kits that I find for the deep roads section.  I think you get that recipe free at Redcliffe if you get the barkeeper to fight then as the waitress for stuff.

Thanks for your informative post!

Actually one of the biggest mistake I made while playing this game is that, I should have understood the game mechanics completely before startung the game. DAO is only the second RPG I have played. (The first one was a big disappointment). And when I started playing this game, I was shocked at how different this game is from a shooter/combat game. Even when I was reading the Instruction manual, I didn't understand many things but thought of playing and learning along the way. How wrong I was.

Before about 50 hours in the game, I didn't even know that there is something like a tactics screen and that you can assign /micromanage each team member's tactics!

When you said that it's tougher to play this game on modes other than "Easy", I felt a bit of relief honestly. I'm playing this game on "Normal". Struggled so badly that wanted to quit the games a few times but fortunately didn't. Did a lot of research on the net to learn the basics and improve my gameplay. Things seem brighter now.

When I created this discussion, I was hardly even aware of the usefulness of healing spells! Heck, I didn't even know how to set the tactics properly!

Though I'm not an expert now, but I have improved. I have realized the importance of , not only proper tactics, but also good attibute-combination, weapons, spells and armor. 

Initially Wynne seemed very useful to the party. I didn't even have to changer her default tactics one bit. But then whenever the enmies are more in number or there was a boss like Revenant, she didn't prove to be useful. Even if she didn't fall early, her mana would get over. Moreover, using her felt like playing with three combatants rather than four. 

(Sadly, I couldn't even use the rogues as effectively as I wanted to.)

Now I've got used to playing without Wynne.The reason could be that I'e reached a higher level; my warriors have decent rune-laced weapons and heavy armor. I'm micromanaging the tactics.And after resettng Morrigan's tactics, she's become a weapon of mass destruction! She single-handedly takes out mobs , makes even short work of Revenants! And to think, I had almost stopped using her in my team.
