Weak spells of what?

Some quests have a random consumable reward associated with them: Usually you get a vial or pill of a certain spell: Looks like you actually ended up getting an empty vial. Vials or scrolls which have spells of "." or nothing in them can be brewed into by a priest/shaman/warlock, or scribed by a sorcerer/necromancer respectively, but unless they are then they just don't do anything when you drink them.

That said, it probably wasn't intended that empty vials could be rewarded for quests.

It is an empty vial. You can use it to brew a spell into the vial. You can brew quite a few defensive spells like heal, sanctuary, armor, ect. Empty vials are quite useful.

Not wishing to disagree with this very helpful advice ... but if it was empty, why was I able to quaff it?

... and having quaffed it, it has disappeared.

On this, you have a very good point.

One might argue that maybe every vial has some neutral "magic juice" in it, and if you brew into it you use up the magic juice to either brew spirit aura, heal, or whatever. That's why vials are also expensive, because they've got more than just glass going on in there. If you just drink the magic juice, nothing happens.

Of course, the more likely answer would be because that's how the game's coded and no one's ever really asked before.

I wouldn't worry too much about losing it though. Vials are very commonly used at the higher levels in SK, and are in fact typically bought in bulk, say 20 or 30 at a time for brewing, so you haven't lost a lot.

And there's worse ways to loose your quest rewards. Both the orphanage quest and the fisherman's net in Chibunei give rewards that will most likely be stolen by thieves since the people completing them are generally too low of a level. That's really fun.

should probably bug log those. since the changes went in to make every quest suitable for certain levels. Maybe not all the item rewards got change to fit that as well.

I earned a green pill from the orphanage quest which was immediately stolen when I logged out, but I did at least have it identified before I lost it and it's a very cool reward for a low level player.

Yeah I know, doesn't matter how cool it was if it was immediately stolen.

A good idea is when you are newb questing it up, go ahead and sell the potions/pills and make like 3-4 obs:P
