Potion Making

For a list of potions, see Potion List.

For the potion category, see Category:Potions.

For a list of potion recipes, see Potion Making List.

Description

Once you know how, creating potions with herbs is not such a difficult skill. But, rare potions require equally rare ingredients, and extra care should be exercised in handling them.

Details

• Creates various Potions through Herbs. For a list of items created through Potion Making, see Potion Making List.
• The player must have a Potion Concoction Kit equipped in order to use this skill.
• Unlike many Life Skills, Potion Making is not affected by Dexterity.
• Potion Making uses 2.5 Stamina, but cannot be used when Stamina is below 3. Mana is drained when making more advanced potions such as Wound Recovery or 100-Point Potions.
  • Mana use scales accordingly with how many potions are being made. Potion making will stop if there is insufficient mana to make potions.
• It is possible to make more than one potion at once, however disproportionate amounts will result in producing only enough potions for which you have all the ingredients for. (Ex: 5 Mana Herbs, 2 Base Herbs, and 3 Base Potions will only produce two MP 100 Potions if successful.)
• Potion making provides one of the two ways to repair Classic Spirit Weapons.
• An additional 1~5 potions will be created if the player has the Grandmaster Apothecary's Unique Effect activated.
  • The EXP yield will only be for 1 potion.
• Rank 9 Potion Making is required to use the Fateweaver Technique.
• Starting at Dan 1, the player will be able to create RE potions.

Obtaining the Skill

• Learned automatically upon equipping a Potion Concoction Kit.

Or,

• Complete the quest The Basics of Medicine.

Training Method

Tips

• It is advised to use Fragmentation to retain the herbs.
• Ranks D to 6 can be effectively trained by making Wound Remedy 10 Potions. They fulfill the Gold, Bloody and Mana herb ingredient requirements all at once.
• It is highly recommended that one stands next to a Mana Tunnel when attempting to make many potions in one sitting. This provides accelerated Mana regeneration.
  • It is also recommended to use Meditation for a fast MP recovery. A high rank Meditation will almost prevent Potion Making from decreasing your MP. However keep in mind that Stamina regeneration is halted when Meditation is left on.
  • Playing Enduring Melody for a little while after each set of potions will both regenerate stamina, even while meditating, and further augment mana regeneration.
    • Playing a high-ranked Fantastic Chorus can regenerate Mana incredibly quickly.
• One can also use Demigod to produce unlimited mana for potions for up to 4 minutes at rank 1 Awakening of Light.
• Certain rare herbs can be obtained through simpler means:
  • Poison Herbs, Antidote Herbs, Mandrakes and Gold Herbs can all be bought from the Rafting Reward Shop.
    • Poison Herbs are also obtainable through Shyllien Ecology and Synthesis.
    • Mandrakes can also be acquired through Synthesis.
    • Gold Herbs, Mandrakes, White Herbs, and Poison Herbs are also available to build on Homesteads.
  • White Herbs can be acquired by killing Polar Hornets in Silva Forest of Physis and picking the patches that spawn when they die.
