How to brew

  1. Buy a herb and some empty flasks from any magic shop – the same merchants who sell runes. You choose which potion you want to brew by choosing the herb.
  2. Right-click the herb, then left-click a lit cauldron. The herb is dropped in and decides which potion you are making.
  3. Wait a moment.
  4. Right-click the cauldron when the potion is ready to bottle what's inside.
  5. Every brew raises your alchemy skill, but alchemy can never exceed your highest vocation level.

Protection Elixirs

  1. Use a protection herb on a lit cauldron.
  2. While it bubbles, use a powder on the same cauldron. The powder decides which element the elixir protects from.
  3. Right-click the cauldron when it is ready. Without a powder the brew turns out flavourless.

Powders are sold in every magic shop. Magic protection herbs need no powder.
