Hi,
great game and update, why they dont sell this and make some cash is beyond me! they could make a stack of cash cus i would buy it.
HOWEVER - I think i have found a bug in the new update.
After going to the store and buying either a blueprint or magicbook when going to the smith or tower afterwards you can not select it to build it. you either have to mine again or buy another one.
anybody else found this?

I guess it's not very clear, but you are supposed to "spend" resources to build blueprints and magicbooks. So, if you cant attempt it yet you probably need to collect more resources in the mine. Sorry or the confusion. Any ideas in how to make that more apparent in the game?

I had some confusion with this at first too. Maybe just a line saying "Purchase blueprints using mined resources" above the selection box? That'd do until the manual gets put together and posted or packaged with the game

You need to purchase them with resources. If you can't select them then you don't have enough resources to buy it yet. Go back to the mine.
A note to the devs: maybe make this clearer with a sound or dialog box when you try to select something greyed out. Especially in the beginning. Since the version before the update didn't consume resources I was a bit confused or a while here.

Once so far today, I had enough resources to attempt something but it remained greyed out. When I left the smith and came back, I was able to attempt it.

Can you only use tools once before having to buy them again (and build them etc) or have I a bug?

Jason, I don't think you understand what is going on with the bug. When you collect resources and purchase new blueprints then go to the smith to have them built, they show up in your inventory, but for some reason they are slightly dim and can't be clicked on to have them built. This is happening in the tower for the magicbooks as well as in the smith shop. This also does not happen 100% of the time, but so it is happening to me at least 85% of the time.

alfOn each Magic Book or Blacksmithing blueprint, there are 5 squares, representing the 5 essences. On each one of these little squares, there will be a number. This number represents the amount of resources of that particular essence are required to attempt the Magic Book or Blueprint. Understand? I hope that was clear.

I'm having the same problem ever since the update. This was NOT the way it was before the update.
You buy a blueprint and can't GET to it, it's grayed out. Magic Books are grayed out and when you can get to one, it you don't do it right the first time and when it asked you if you want to try again the book isn't clickable any more. Very frustrating.
Additionally I have more than enough resources to make these blueprints it's just not allowing me to click it.

Are you sure ohcrud?
Double check your resource count, and remember that you have to pay the cost of it each time you attempt it.

Yes, before the update it didn't charge you to attempt the blueprints or spell books. Now it does.

When I ended the game last night I had bought the blueprint Alchemist. As you know it need MINIMAL resources to make I have three times what it needs and yet the option was not available for me to click. I quit the game. This morning I started the game, it brought me to the smith and now the option is available for me to click. This has happened three times yesterday. I bought something I should have been able to use, couldn't, left game, came back and WHAM it's available. The magic books are worse. GLITCH

Agreed - it happened the first time since I didn't have enough. It happened just now while my lowest was a 55 and I was making a blueprint needing two 50's.
