I am not so happy with the beginners section, it's kind of frustrating to be telling people that they basically have to level with Mana/Minor Healing until they can do SRs but other potions aren't really good alternatives either as they require too much time spent on killing stuff. As far as I see it, training a/d and making Mana/Minor Healing potions at the same time and gathering ingredients for "later" potions is the way to go here.

If somebody can take a look and do a little proof/cross reading, it would be appreciated.--Ermabwed 14:48, 3 June 2008 (UTC)


The only other potentially levelable pots before SR are physique and will. I recall doing a bunch of these, got lucky and found a physique pot buyer, but the will pots are a waste. In the end I was doing what you wrote, minor/mana pots while a/d training. If they have the spare gc to toss away, physique and will pots may get them to SR-level faster, but only if they have that gc to toss. (Worst-case sell to NPC at a loss, but better than losing everything.)

But I pretty much agree with the minor/mana route, making others only if they have a use for it or can afford to toss away ings as a "skill investment". --Burn 09:02, 1 May 2009 (GMT+1)



TS etc.

I will change this to compensate the fact that TS Potions are no longer a leveling potion once we can be sure that the recipe won't change again when we look away for 5 minutes; I also have to add some remarks about the other recent changes but since they were mostly useless/senseless/etc I think nobody will be hurt by waiting a little longer for that. And if they are, then they can add that information themselves :-) --Ermabwed 23:53, 30 April 2009 (UTC)


Definitely no rush to tell of the joys of att/def reduction pots. :P One can always hope, but I get the feeling TS will never be the same again, and the sections about them will probably end up removed, and SR/BR will be the highest level-worthy item. SRs, the leather helms of potioning? Hehe... --Burn 09:02, 1 May 2009 (GMT+1)

While I've always felt this guide to be a part of the wiki and thus editable by any user who found reasons to do so, I'm now officially letting you know that I will not be working on this guide anymore. If you feel like changing the strong emphasis on SRs, let me just say this: 2 million. --Ermabwed 22:43, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
