Holy Water Containers 05/01/2015 11:08 PM CDT
I'm just coming back from being gone a couple years, and have created a new cleric, and while I am starting to get used to dealing with Theurgy again, one thing seems to cause major issues. No matter what container I use, I only ever seem to have one part of water or holy water, having tried with a chalice and silver vial.

> Fill my vial with water

Is this the wrong way to do it? If I try and use it again to obtain another part, it says the container already has water and will not put any more in unless I bless what's in there and put another part of regular water in, then bless that too, etc. one at a time.

Also, after putting said one part of water in my container and then stowing it in my bags, I have numerous times come back to that container later to find it empty without having used said holy water. Could anyone explain to me how to use these properly?

If it works like jars you have to fill it repeatedly to actually fill it up.

The parser is a bit dumb. When you do:

> Fill my vial with water

it's trying to fill the vial with the water that you own that is already in your vial. So specify the source, that usually works. I often use the trough at Town Green Northeast if I'm in Crossing--

> Fill my vial with water in trough

Also, like the previous posts in this folder say, get a chalice (they're in Crossing) because they hold a lot more than a vial.

1) I think you need to close your container. I've never had water leak from mine, but it's 'supposed' to be part of the system

2) Don't waste your money on a vial, it holds 2 parts water. Get a basin/chalice/etc. instead, holds 60 parts.

As for water, buy it from the alchemist society. 10 parts, very cheap. Bless it, and then put it in your backpack.

I usually either rely entirely on Eluned for water (which pre-blesses it, and obviously teaches theurgy), or fill it from the trough in TGNE.

The last time I bought water I did it was Chizli's, who only sells 1 part waters, so the alchemy society is way better. Never thought about that.

Thanks for the suggestions folks, that syntax works the way I wanted it to! And as I said in the original post, I have both a vial and a chalice as I was trying them both, and know the chalice carries far more. Thanks for all the help, it seems to have fixed my problems!

As a side note, for cleaning anloral pins, do you just CLEAN it with holy water? I just want ot make sure as I was given one that I know was previously used by another Cleric, and despite having the appropriate last favor, it crumbled. Is this just because it was bonded with them?

Yes, clean pin with water. They do bond when cleaned, so I suspect it's just as you thought. Contrariwise, if you'd had the wrong kind of favor, I believe it would have actually exploded--it's definitely a dramatic effect.

depends on the vial I suppose. I have one that holds 10 parts water and perfectly happy with it as it forces me to use eluned more often to keep theurgy moving(I forget it lots)
