How to calculate the culture bonus (sun)

...the cauldron is actually not that complicated - basically it is similar to an election, where it is determined how many percent of the votes the different parties get - except that you can assign several votes with yes and no - if I have time for it some day, I'll try to create a new "Did you know" thread how the cauldron works...
I would read it. The Cauldron appeared at a time when I wasn't paying much attention to Elvenar and I never really saw any active explanation about it. It was no doubt discussed in the forum at that time when I wasn't here, and from my point of view as solely a game-player, it just suddenly appeared one day.

I understand that I can spend the widgets and the more you put in gives it a greater chance of success, and I think one of those widgets might specifically help goods production and another coins production, etc, but I still feel like none of it will affect me. I will prick my ears up if it boosts culture, or the wholesaler, or spell fragments, or combining catalysts, but I don't think it does any of that right?

...unfortunately not, but it can give guest race production a real boost...

... is a table showing which ingredients affect the various effects and how - in short: a positive number is always good, and a negative number is of course bad - the large ones are integers and the small ones are exponents -however, you only have all 22 effects if you also have all 22 diplomas - if you have omitted research somewhere in a chapter, the effect is not skipped - they are then missing at the end...for example: if you've already finished chapter 22, but missed 3 diplomas, you'll have only 19 diplomas and the last effect is Tier 7....

I never know how to get to the donation screen without first going through the potion screen
I don't think you can. Which is a pain if you only make potions on a specific day.

then it gives me some useless power
Try doing it just before a tournament round and/or a part of the spire. The troop boosts (health or strength), although small, are a bit of help at no cost.

And about as useful as an election...

...the problem is: you only get high results if you spend a lot of fragments or diamonds and then land a critical hit - that means you get your researched values x3 and even x4,5 the researched duration...so you can get

...or more...I once managed to have 7 effects at the same time because 2 were still active from the week before...

...but I'll explain that in a separate thread - unfortunately I'm just missing the English-language screenshots at the moment, as I'm only in Chapter 7 here and haven't invested much in the cauldron yet..

Another instance of the game punishing advanced players for their success:

Just one more reason I give the cauldron only a passing interest. If I'm lucky I get a troop boost for three or four hours. Whoopee. :(
