Potassium Nitrate

Has anyone found Potassium Nitrate? I got it from one of the Orc Thieves bodies in the west side of Tarant, it's called Potassium Nitrate and looks exactly like a camera. Has anyone found it? If so, have they found any uses for it?

 

You mean this one?

Noooo...

 

Yes that one, know what it does?

 

I don't believe it does anything. It's sort of a glitch. Something the devs forgot to take out which the game engine later assigned a default art piece for.

 

I found it. I normally just assign it to a hotkey and apply it to a random NPC.

 

I too have found it on the same Dumb ass orc who tried to mug me. There is no use for it ..... as far as I know. Probably the start of an idea that was rejected and no one bothered to take it out.

 

But why does it look like a camera?

 

Probably because potassium compounds are used for camera's flashes.

 

Someone talked about this someone on this site or the Sierra boards. As I recall the person in question found out that the camera pic was a default piece of art often asigned to items missing certain information in their protos or some such... stuff.

 

Heard that somewhere before. Default portriats.

 

RAPE ME

 

Potassium Nitrate is the proper name for Salt Peter. Troika must have added salt peter later without bothering to remove potassium nitrate.
Or, as I suspect, they had both in the game and only later realised their mistake.

 

Ah, I see. Potassium Nitrate is Saltpeper.

Yeah, you would like that, wouldn't you?

 

Maybe it's for to repair the broken camera that you find at the crash site?

 

No, that's part of another quest.

 

Makes sense now...I guess if they called it Potassium Nitrate in the game, people would have started going out and making or purchasing the stuff to make gunpowder. Salt peter is more general, I guess.

 

I hate that stuff. I've got a hoard of it back in my hideout. (I'm a freakin Arcanum pack-rat)

 

I usually just carry what I need with me and throw all other parts of junk away; like potatissium nitrate.

 

Not me, I took over the Shyler's digs and store my junk there. Right now I'm working on aquiring one of everything (without buying it) and stashing it in my hideout.
Why, just because I can, and its a challenge. I'm running out of room though, and may have to expand into the warehouse by the docks.

 

I'm terribly sorry to spoil your little quest, but I think it is impossible, actually.
Or maybe not. Tell me, do you have a lot of, say, shopkeepers on your hitlist?
