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 10 of one ingredient plus some Essence. 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: 50 ml for a Small Vial, 100 ml for a Large Vial and 150 ml for a Gilded Vial. 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	Note
Valen Gate cauldron	1,000 ml	Normal	Normal	Recipe amounts as listed.
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	Bottling still uses one vial per potion.

The 11 potions

Each potion type has one cauldron recipe. Amounts in brackets are for the Valen City cauldron. The effect shown is for a Large potion.

Weak Health	1	Scrap Fish Flesh	10 / 15	25 / 38	500	Restores 60 Health

XP is the base amount for one brew at Valen Gate, before any game-wide XP bonus. The Valen City cauldron gives 1.5 times this.

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	Col 9
Small Vial	1	50 ml	Half strength	10	1 Coin	Valen Gate Potion Stall, Valen City Potion Store
Large Vial	25	100 ml	Normal strength	20	10 Coins	Valen Gate Potion Stall, Valen City Potion Store
Gilded Vial	50	150 ml	1.5 times strength	30	100 Coins	Valen City Potion Store	Members

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

At the Valen City cauldron, bottling gives normal XP, except the bottle that empties the cauldron, which gives 1.5 times. Brewing there always gives 1.5 times the XP for 1.5 times the ingredients.

You can buy some ingredients instead of making them. The Valen Gate Potion Stall sells Small Fang (75 Coins) and Mud Root (60 Coins). The Valen City Potion Store sells those two plus Spider Eye (450 Coins) and Glowing Mushroom (750 Coins).

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