Colmarr's Fantabulous Contraptulator - NWN Side Quest (Chapter 2)

Colmarr's Fantabulous Contraptulator is a side quest that takes place in Luskan and begins by speaking with Colmarr or by placing any of the 3 Levers into the broken machine in the Sewers. If you start this quest by talking to Colmarr he'll tell you a little bit about the machine, which is important information.

Essentially the Contraptulator is a machine that's located in the sewers and makes potions using the sewage water that flows through the area. You can make a total of 30 potions once the machine is restored and restoring it is how you're going to solve this quest. For this quest you need to location 3 different levers which can be used to restore the Contraptulator and allow you to make potions.

Two of the levers are located in the sewers (both are marked on my map below) and the 3rd lever is found inside of a closet room of the Wink and Tickle brothel. You can find the Wink and Tickle brothel in the middle of Luskan, a lot of the side quests in Luskan are started here.

Lever of Stone: You'll find this lever inside of the Wink and Tickle brothel in the central portion of Luskan. In the northeastern portion of the brothel there will be a small close room with a guard dog inside and a chest. The Lever of Stone is found inside of this chest.

Lever of Wind: There is a small group of tents in the southeastern portion of the Sewers, the Lever of Wind is found inside of a chest at these tents. You'll also find a Ghoul Lord here which will drop the Amulet of Power, an item that's used to get the next Lever.

Lever of Water: In the southwestern portion of the sewers you'll meet a Ghoul Outcast who asks you to retrieve the Amulet of Power for him. Accepting this task will start The Ghoul Lords side quest. When you turn in the Amulet of Power to this ghoul you'll get the Lever of Water.

Once the Contraptulator machine is fully repaired all that's left is to use it! How this machine works is pretty straight forward... There are a total of 4 levers and you can set them to either On or Off. Depending on what potion you want to make you'll have to choose a different combination of Levers.

Below you will find a complete list of all the different types of potions that you can make - keep in mind that you can only make 30 in total! Every potion counts as 1 which means that some potions are just objectively better to make than others. There's no reason to make a Cure Light Wounds if you can make a Cure Serious Wounds, right?

For the potion list that's found below only the Levers that have to be set to "On" are listed. An example, if you want to make a Potion of Bull's Strength that means you need Fire and Stone set to "On" and the other 2 set to "Off". So, my list below will say "Fire and Stone" since those are the 2 levers that need to be set to on.

Cure Light Wounds: Water

Cure Moderate Wounds: Water and Wind

Cure Serious Wounds: Wind, Stone and Fire

Potion of Aid: Wind

 

Potion of Barkskin: Stone

Potion of Cat's Grace: Wind and Fire

Potion of Fox's Cunning: Water and Fire

Potion of Endurance: Water and Stone

Potion of Speed: Water, Wind and Fire

Potion of Clarity: Water, Wind and Stone

Potion of Lore: Fire

Potion of Invisibility: Wind and Stone
