Potion Making Guide
Potion Making turns fish and mined resources into brewed potions through a multi-station production chain. Here's the process end to end:
- Fish for the raw materials you need (see the Fishing Guide).
- Cut your fish at a Cutting Table.
- Process the cut materials further at a Reduction Station or a Crush Station (Pestle and Mortar).
- Brew the finished ingredients into a potion at a Cauldron.
- Buy vials at a Potion Stall to bottle the brewed potion.

An Efficient Production Rotation
A routine built around smooth bank usage and squeezing the most out of a 28-slot inventory.
Phase 1: Gather materials. Fish Elder Trout at Town Mine and Bluegill near the bank at Mercenary Camp in Forest Alcove, then bank everything until you're ready to process in bulk.
Phase 2: Process Bluegill into Essence. Set your bank withdrawal amount to 14. Withdraw 14 Bluegill, cut them at the Cutting Table, take the resulting Essence Glands to the Reduction Station to convert into Essence, deposit everything, and repeat. Fourteen keeps your inventory clean while you move between stations without overflowing.
Phase 3: Process Elder Trout into Refined Fish Flesh. Withdraw 14 Elder Trout and cut them at the Cutting Table. Grind the resulting Hearty Fish Flesh into Minced Hearty Fish Flesh at the Crush Station, then reduce that (and any Essence Glands) at the Reduction Station into Refined Fish Flesh and Essence. Deposit and repeat.
Phase 4: Brew in a loop. Withdraw 20 Refined Fish Flesh (20 of your 28 slots). Brew a Strong Health potion batch at the Cauldron; don't buy Large Vials beforehand. Once it's brewed, buy 10 Large Vials from the Potion Stall, return and bottle 10 potions, then immediately start a second brew with your remaining 10 Refined Fish Flesh while you go buy 10 more vials for when it finishes. Bank everything and repeat the cycle.
