Mage has level 19. I have tier three in herbalism, yet the only skill available is tier one. WHY??? PC version. I'm about to cheat at this point! :mad:

Pics? :D
There's a great skill tree mod at nexusmods that will make the game a lot more enjoyable. It fixes the glitches and offers greater variety.

Just to be safe, you're actually taking control of the character that has the skill tree leveled before entering the menu?

If so, I suppose that would just get chalked up to the idea of utilizing the full party in the DA series only ever being partially realized.

No flanking or pincer actions possible due to the AI they give party members. No leaving a sniper at a vantage point, etc.

Not without a ludicrous amount of micromanaging.

No. Do I need to? At first tier, the formulas just showed up when I initiated the herbalism talent.
From what I remember yes you do need to acquire a specific advanced recipe before using it. Same goes for making advanced poisons & traps. First tier simple stuff (Lesser Health Poultice / Lesser Lyrium Potion / Mabari Crunch) is free.

Ding ding ding........you need the recipes....tier 3 will allow you to gather anything; but to make anything out of it you'll need to know how to do it; they kinda show up anywhere; I used to buy them even if I couldn't use them yet...

Thanks for the info. I don't recall seeing any recipes for sale or otherwise, so will have to go back and search.

Almost every major area has recipes at the shops, though not all merchants have recipes. There is a category tab at the top of every shop that lets you look at different types of things, such as weapons, armor, ingredients and recipes.
