Potion Making

Potion Making turns fish, fangs, roots and mushrooms into potions that heal you, shield you or raise a skill level for a while. Every potion is made in two steps: you brew a potion type in a cauldron, then you bottle it into vials. The vial you use decides the potion's size and strength.

How potion making works

1. Cut fish at a cutting table. Every fish gives essence glands, and most also give fish flesh or fish scales. 2. Prepare the ingredients. The crushing station and the reduction station turn raw materials into potion ingredients, and the reduction station turns essence glands into Essence. 3. Brew at an empty cauldron. Each potion needs one main ingredient plus some Essence (the Potions table shows how much). Brewing fills the cauldron with that potion. You can only brew into an empty cauldron. 4. Bottle the potion. With empty vials in your inventory, bottle from the filled cauldron. Each vial takes its volume from the cauldron, and bigger vials take more (the Vial sizes table shows each one). Once the cauldron is empty you can brew again.

Cauldrons

There are two cauldrons. They brew the same potions, but the Valen City cauldron is bigger and costs more to fill.

Cauldron	Holds	Ingredient cost	XP
Valen Gate cauldron	1,000 ml	Normal	Normal
Valen City Potion Store cauldron	1,500 ml	1.5 times ingredients and Essence	1.5 times brewing XP, and 1.5 times XP on the last bottle

Potions

Each potion type has one cauldron recipe, but the two cauldrons use different amounts and give different XP, so each has its own table. The effect shown is for a Large potion. XP is per brew (one full cauldron), before any game-wide XP bonus.

Strong Attack	60	Fine Fang Dust	15	1,500	7,500	Boosts Attack level by 10 for 10 min	Y

XP is per brew (one full cauldron), before any game-wide XP bonus. The Valen City cauldron gives 1.5 times the brewing XP of the Valen Gate cauldron, but also costs 1.5 times the ingredients and Essence, so the XP per ingredient is the same.

Vial sizes

Bottling needs one empty vial and the Potion Making level shown. A bigger vial uses more of the cauldron but makes a stronger potion.

Vial	Level	Uses	Strength	XP per bottle	Price	Sold at	Members
Small Vial	1	50 ml	Half strength	10	1 Coin	Valen City Potion Store, Valen Gate Potion Stall	N
Large Vial	25	100 ml	Normal strength	20	10 Coins	Valen City Potion Store, Valen Gate Potion Stall	N
Gilded Vial	50	150 ml	1.5 times strength	30	100 Coins	Valen City Potion Store	Y

Strength by vial size

Health potions heal more in a bigger vial. Skill, Attack and Shields potions keep the same bonus but last longer.

Tips

One brew fills the cauldron. The Cauldrons table shows how much each one holds.

The bigger cauldron uses more ingredients per brew and gives more XP. The Cauldrons table shows the exact amounts.

You can buy some ingredients instead of making them. The Valen Gate Potion Stall and the Valen City Potion Store sell some of them. Their shop pages show what's in stock and the prices.

Gilded Vials, Strong Shields and Strong Attack need members-only items.
