Is there only one source for the bone meal potion? It would be nice if there was more than one source.
Searching around on the new apps! Some very difficult areas, but lots of fun.

The only source for bonemeal is in Fallhaven.

Welcome to the forums,bradawk.
I agree with you, I think there should be more bonemeal potion sellers. I think of bonemeal potion sellers as the drug dealers of AT. It's an illegal substance that would make a lot of money for those selling it, so it's only logical that there would be more people selling it.
I could just see someone standing in an alley in Feygard... "Psst, hey kid. Wanna buy some bonemeal potions?" Saying that, he opens his coat to display bottles of various sizes filled with a white substance.

It just sucks having to go all the way back to re-fill.

There is no challenge in having to go through the lower level areas to go get bonemeal potions. It's not like any of those creatures are going to kill you. Wouldn't it be much more fun, and more of a challenge, to get your potions as quickly as possible and get back in the action against opponents your level or higher?

I was referring to having to leave let's say Blackwater to go back to fallhaven. That is a challenge in terms of going back down and back up the mountain. Or leaving Remgard then returning.
Not to mention the strategy. "Do I have enough bonemeals to get there, survive, then get back"?

and bear in mind, vendors will be waiting for more stock in the next version...
[restocking times are yet to be determined]
so things will be getting more difficult - not easier.
(just throwing this out there)

I'd support underground bonemeal potion dealers if they aren't as good. e.g.
"Dodgy bonemeal potion", has a warning label, "consume with care", heals 40 HP, but if you consume it during battle (i.e. not with care) you have a 25% chance of choking on a bone and your AP not resetting the next two turns. Upon coughing up the bone two turns later it goes into your inventory.
If consumed outside of battle (i.e. with care) you just gain the chance of getting a bone 25% of the time.
This would mean you shouldn't use them in battle, but outside of battle using them is fine. And of course, as with most underground black market dealings they come at a premium bargain price of 102 gold each.
