I'll see what works or not I'm not up to the point I can save Markus just yet but I'll see. Last time I drank the dank potion it was out of battle and the uses didn't go down I'll try in battle as well I just hope I can figure this out otherwise I have a quest I can't complete. If I need more help I'll try asking again. Thanks for your help so far.
Well good news I beat it what I did wa I fought Barrel master and drank the dank potion while in combat and the uses went down I also had Bunshido help me fight the roots and now can plant seeds. I sadly don't know how long it takes to have them grow but I hope not long I got a rock sword from one of the Rock monsters but not the shield sadly I read there was supposed to be a refightable Rock creature but didn't see one I'd like to know where the new armor and weapons are as Digitalfur never tells such things in the update logs he makes. Thanks for your help if I have need of more aid I'll let you know.
