How actually do I get enchanced alchemy buffs in Stone Garden?

Literally explain me like im some 5 years old, because i literally have mushrooms, bloodknight essences, a laboratory use passive, a stack of each extra mat (stinkhorn, spider egg, luminous russula) but i still cant get it. I've run the dungeon some more times, i reloaded ui and stuff, and it still isnt appearing.
Feeling awkward because im about to close trifecta here and we're actually keeping up with time grabbing all the buffs, but its only for me not being able to grab stronger one and my group struggles to help me with that.

    If you have all of the necessary items when you access the alchemy station, you select the second text option to receive the upgraded buff. If you somehow don't have the items, you'll only see one text option. I think it took 3 green mushrooms and 13 of the respective alchemical ingredient to make it upgraded.

    Update: Ironically, this happened to me last night. I had all of the necessary ingredients, and never saw the second text option on any of the three tables. I have no idea what the issue is, after all.

    Thread necro here, but the same happened to me just today, so if this is a bug, it is still extant. I had all the necessary ingredients AND the Laboratory Use passive, but the option to make the super version did not appear. I was able to make the normal alchemy potions just fine, and I have literally hundreds of stinkhorns, spider eggs and luminous russulae. I did not get the option to make ANY of the super alchemy potions, only the normal ones.

    The question I would ask here, is: Is there also a minimum Alchemy level needed, higher than the simple minimum to have Laboratory Use? Would anyone like to test this out?

    Another possibility: Do you have to know particular properties, or possibly all of the properties, of the relevant alchemy items (stinkhorn, spider egg, luminous r)? Because I didn't...

    Silly question, but do you have the Laboratory Use passive unlocked in your Alchemy skill line? Because that should be all you need. I forgot to put that skill back on one of my characters after CP 2.0 dropped and this happened to me

    Yes, I do - I took the skill specially before the dungeon. It still didn't give me the option.

    Must be a bug. I've run both newer characters with low alchemy levels and characters with maxed alchemy levels and this has not happened to me, other than the time without the passive

    That's why I wonder if knowing specific traits on the ingredients is important - it's possible to max alchemy levels without knowing all the traits of a stinkhorn, and it's possible to know all the traits of a stinkhorn at minimum levels.

    Hi,
    that's old thread, but recently I doing this dungeon with my friends and one of us can't get second choice on all three alchemy stations throughout the dungeon. Crucial thing for us was to have Alchemy at 50 level.

    So basicly to have this clear, you must have:
    • Alchemy level 50
    • Alchemy passive "Laboratory Use"
    • 13 Stinkhorns, 13 Spider Eggs, and 13 Luminous Russula
    • Gloomspore Agaric mushrooms

    I don't know all of the properties from that items and everything works for me.

    Generally you don't need to have learned the properties of an item in-game to use it since that's how you learn the 2nd-4th properties anyway.
