How do I settle a companion in my Serenitea Pot?

After finding out I can use extra Realm Layouts without disadvantages I have setup one with some of the companion sets in to earn the primogems from the reward. However after adding the sets and putting the companions in, I get mixed messages when inviting companions to the set. How can I collect the gifts I already have? Is this because these companions are in my other Realm Layout? How long do I have to wait for the companion to become settled so I can talk to them and collect the reward?

More questions from an outsider

As I've seen more footage from Baldur's Gate 3 (As an outsider who can't play), I've become curious about a few more things, if people would feel up to answering them for me! . I've come to understand that a wizard is someone who uses magic because of study, a warlock gets magic from another being they're serving and a sorcerer uses magic because of a gift/lineage. Correct me if I'm wrong on that. But from a gameplay/story perspective, how does it change the kind of MC you have? Like how is a wizard MC, warlock MC . . . [More]

How can I turn a rare item into a rare magic item?

I turned a silk vest into a rare, and then later found that I could not change it into a magic item, because it isn't normal. . Is there a way to turn a rare item into a magic item? . It was normal before I made it rare, so I think that if I had known before hand, I would have been able to make it magic, and then make it rare.

What is the purpose of a D Flip-Flop in Minecraft?

Based on the design of the circuit and on the description, what is its purpose? It says that it transfers the state of D to Q. This means it can store one bit. But what is the purpose of a D Flip-Flop when I can just put a lever on a block? This also can store one bit. Question from user Jason at stackexchange. Answer: Saying that you can replace D Flip-Flops with a lever on a block is a bit naive. The power of D Flip-Flops becomes apparent when you use many of them, and connect them all to the same clock. You can't possibly . . . [More]

Avoiding detection while hacking the computer in one step ahead

I'm on New Game Plus x2 (NG+2) in Starfield (PC). On my first run, I completed the "One Step Ahead" Ryujin quest by going to CeltCorp, waiting until the security officer left the office area, and then hacking the computer. The hack was successful, and I went undetected. Now I'm trying to actually complete the Ryujin quest line, so I go to CeltCorp and wait until the security officer leaves, but every time I hack the terminal I get caught and a bounty is added, and Neon Security becomes hostile. I saved right before the hack . . . [More]

Question(s) about level 1 wizard multiclassing

I've seen a bunch of other posts about this topic, but I figured I'd make my own instead of spamming a dead post with new questions. I, as a sorcerer character, want to put 1 rank into wizard for the ability to scribe scrolls and swap out spells at will outside of combat, but from what I gathered there are a couple of things to keep in mind. First off is the fact that any spell learned through wizardry, scribed from scrolls or picked while leveling up as a wizard, would use intelligence as the casting stat, making it less useful f . . .

Do HP increasing items work in Hardcore mode?
