Yeah, right on Pandora, you're a genius
! Upon further investigation there seems to be some sort of problem on rms' end. They under there quest section along with irowiki say that we need 10 moth dust and geek glasses, however in this case what's really required for 10 powder of butterfly and a noraml pair of glasses. However rms says that 'glasses' work as well but only in the items database. So a recap for all of those trying to aquare their elemental resist pot creation manual (still a mouthful), here are the items needed:
Yellow Gemstone x 5
Empty Potion Bottle x 4
Heart of Mermaid x 10
Powder of Butterfly x 10
Maneater Blossom x 20
Glasses x 1
good luck hopes this helps :D
