I wondered if that may have been the case. Unfortunately the yellow lotus potion is currently bugged, and we are led to believe it is in the process of getting a full rework. But for the meantime, when you need to redistribute either your Knowledge or Attribute points, it is MUCH safer to use the admin option. So make yourself admin using the previously outlined process each time you log on to play. Once activated, and you go to either your Attributes or Knowledge tabs, you will see a new new option down the bottom of the screen to ‘Reset Points’ using the Triangle button. It will refund all your points for you and has no issues I am aware of!
If you feel short on time, I can also tell you ways to regain your building and levelling progress much faster if you like. Let me know if you would like me to tell you, as there are a couple of things I should brief you on first. Good luck there @ClimbingFerret!
That is great to hear ClimbingFerret, I am very happy for! If you would like some more help or even just some tips at any time in the future, please do not hesitate to post here again, or in the Players Helping Players section. As I like to say; the only silly question is the one you don’t ask. It is also a good idea to copy your save game data to a USB every now and then in case you need to revert. Better safe than sorry as they say.
Just a friendly, precautionary heads up. There are a few items (not many though) in the Admin Panel which could potentially throw a wrench in your games progress. If you decide you want to tinker with it in the future, Warning…SPOILER do not level yourself any higher than level 60! Or you may end up with an incorrect number of Attribute points, and as far as I am aware, there is no way to fix this.
