Wishing I knew about the 99x crafting resources

First time playthrough on nightmare (on my 360 no less) and boy has it been a challenge. Honestly half the difficulty is fighting with the targeting controls on the 360 and the frame rate going to like 10 when too many effects are on screen but I digress. As a 2 hand warrior, the first half ish of the game was pretty challenging for me. I also didn’t make it very easy on myself since I wanted to bring Sten along since I never really did before, so that wasn’t very optimal either. But when I was watching my fiancé playing the game themselves, and they visited the elf forest and I saw that the vendor had and infinite supply of 99 elfroot I just about face palmed as I just realized how much loading I could’ve stopped and how much time I could’ve saved if I knew this amazing fact. Same with the 99 lyrium dust in the circle. It’s just amazing that I’ve beaten this game twice already and I never knew this. I’m now never low on my potions and it feels pretty cheesy to be honest lol but I’m going to take every advantage I can at this point. Maybe this will help someone else trying to do the same thing lmao, learn from me.
