Editing Potionmaking Training

This page provides info on how many potions you need to brew to train the [[Potionmaking]] skill through different levels. For general information about the Potionmaking skill, see the main [[Potionmaking]] page.

All potions require three ingredients to brew: a root, a secondary, and a [[Vial|vial]]. Each potion requires one of each ingredient: If you need to brew 40 potions, you will need 40 of each ingredient.

All information was gathered using the [[Calculator:Experience|Experience Calculator]].

== Potionmaking Guide ==

=== Level 1 → 14: Accuracy & Forestry ===
The beginning levels are nice and easy: [[Carrot|Carrots]] can be quickly picked and banked from a farming patch on the very western edge of the map, just across the river north of Gloomhollow. [[Leaf|Leaves]] can be easily acquired from killing [[Lumberjack|Lumberjacks]], who always drop a leaf on death.

=== Level 14 → 28: Fishing & Mining ===
Starfish can be pickpocketed from [[Fisherman|Fishermen]] (25% chance) at Level 3 [[Crime]], which is a slow but reliable source. At time of writing, the Fishermen refuse to reveal their source of Starfish.

If you have the [[Mining]] level to mine [[Palladium Ore]], you may want to brew Potions of Mining from level 20, to save you the click-intensity of pickpocketing:

| style="text-align: center;" | {{ItemIcon|Vial}} [[Vial]]
|}

Otherwise, if you can't mine Palladium, you can just make more lots more Potions of Fishing:

=== Level 28 → 42: Defense & Smithing ===
Defense potions are currently the sole use of [[Bones]] in the game. Hope you've been picking them up...

If you have the [[Mining]] level to mine [[Palladium Ore]] and the [[Smithing]] level to smith [[Palladium Bar|Palladium Bars]], you may want to brew Potions of Smithing from level 36:

| style="text-align: center;" | {{ItemIcon|Vial}} [[Vial]]
|}

Otherwise, if you can't mine or smith Palladium, you can just make more Potions of Defense (with a ''lot'' more bones):

| style="text-align: center;" | {{ItemIcon|Vial}} [[Vial]]
|}

=== Level 42 → 62: Restoration, Strength, & Mischief ===
There are few uses for these potions, besides Mischief potions to perhaps pickpocket higher tier enemies and unlock better chests for a few minutes.

Grapes and Rat Tails are currently only acquired through enemy drops, making them very tough to farm. Grapes are intended to be [[Harvesting|harvestable]], so they will likely be easier to get in future updates.

| style="text-align: center;" | {{ItemIcon|Vial}} [[Vial]]
|}

=== Level 62 → 100: Magic ===
The best potion to brew all the way to Level 100 requires [[Elf Ears]], a rare drop from [[Elf|Elves]].

At a 1 in 50 drop rate, you would need to kill '''7.8 million Elves''' to get enough Elf Ears for Level 100 Potionmaking, assuming average luck. The Elves do not deserve this.

If you killed one Elf every second, it would take you '''2,175 hours''' to complete your slaughter. You do not deserve this.

Be advised that there is no God beyond this point, and you will only endure suffering.

== Tips ==

- You can make up to 9 potions in a single trip, with one inventory space left over. Use the right-click option "Take out X items" to quickly remove 9 of each ingredient during bank runs.

- Drinking a potion is one of the few actions that does not interrupt walking, so you can drink your entire set of brews on the way back to the bank to re-use the vials. Get chugging!

- Higher-tier gloves appear to increase [[Harvesting]] speed, making collection faster for the secondary ingredients. Wear the highest tier you are able to equip!
