possible Giant Strength ingredient issue

[Osril Sylvalor]

Hello,
Request a code review for a possible bug/limitation regarding the recipe for crafting>herbalism>potions>Giant Strength
One of the required ingredient objects is simply labeled as “Spirits”. Using Spirits purchased from an NPC vendor (bar keep) does not work. I somehow managed to already successfully create this production. I must have originally looted a Spirits object from an NPC creature during my first time crafting the potion. My second attempt I used purchased Spirits from the vendor to continue production. However, the crafting production menu list was: 0/2 Spirits. I was told it must come from looting an NPC (goblin, ogre, ect). I finally was able to loot another one. I already had 10 in my inventory from the vendor. When I looked at my inventory again, it was stacked as 11 – not as a separate “looted” Spirits bottle. The crafting production menu still listed: 0/2 Spirits.
Suggest either changing the required object to something like:
“Gross back wash gin bottle from an Ogre” or to allow players to use Spirits from a vendor.
Thank you.

You can use spirits purchased from vendors if you use the ones that don't come stacked, if I recall correctly.

Figured I'd bump this thread since this bug is still alive.

In order to use the recipe you must buy a single spirit from a bar and have no spirits in your inventory that it might accidentally stack.

I tried making them from scratch, using one from a monster, or using a whole stack or just one from a stack. None of them work.

Pretty frustrating! The only way to figure this problem is out was to run a forum search. This might be why you never really see these great potions on the market.

If you keep that one single in your inventory then put a stack on it, the whole stack works. I normally just never use my last spirit bottle so I can pick it up wherever and ensure it works. Yeah the bug needs fixed but at least there is a work around.
