Thanks!

So you've got some potion ingredients you need to round up - but you can't just go find them by their "common names"
Find those - plug them in your Preparations.....

that's step one

Sorry - I was handling pms...

Ok - with that all in hand - you insert those in your preparations recipe so that you get
3 sentences....

use the numbers at the bottom to help you decipher what to do next!

They're not ratios. Think about what you've been doing all day. The numbers in the ratios correlate to somewhere else.

find the scientif name of the ingredient, put them in the sentences, and use the ratio given to take out letters, which will form a word.... But don't forget to put the ingredients in the sentences !

the first step is to find the 'proper' names for the plants. (think:science). they each have a particular place in the 'how to prepare' section.

you count the lines

i wish someone could tell me if i needed two words for the 1 and 2 or just one word for each because both scientific names have 2 words

there are 2 words each

alright so you've solved it and gotten to the congratulations page.

Now look at the source and g o o g l e the name in the source!

After you find the official names, plug them into the sentences where they belong. Then use those numbers at the bottom. Think of the number of lines in 'how to prepare'

This clue is really annoying me cuz i keep getting different names for everything. So I'm done for the night. Any pm's would be way appreciated!

I PMed you

ok, sorry but i am totally stuck.... got the real 'titles' using the 'ratios' for find letters BUT what i am getting is nothing even close to a real word.... what am i doing wrong? i even tried ana gram help.... nadda please a lttle help... (begging)
