Editing Comprehensive guide to potion making (section)

=== Potions for beginners ===
In the [[#Potions|potions]] section below you will find that [[Potion of Mana]] and [[Potion of Minor Healing]] are your best potions to start out, if you make them while training your attack and defense levels. Another positive side effect of this approach would be that you can stock up on animal parts while training and you can use those to make those other low level potions requiring animal items as your potion level increases.

If you consider your expenses (price for ingredients, tools, books, food and time spent) you won't be making profit at this point, but if you think of the experience gained (at least at lower to middling a/d levels you'll always be able to find something that'll drop ''something'' that you can use for making potions) and consider the drops to be free, you'll come to have enough to level a bit. So what it all comes down to again is your preferred playing style being the decisive factor here. In theory you should do fine if your level is twice as high as the recommended level or higher if you want to make start with other potions.

The nexus requirements increase as you try to make more advanced (but still easy) potions, if you stayed on Potions of Mana and Minor Healing you will have to raise your vegetal nexus to 4 once you are ready for the next step.

Some potions require that you read the book on how to make them, Potions of Mana, Minor Healing and Spirit Restoration don't, however all that do, have the books of [[Book of Biology|Biology]], [[Book of Biochemistry|Biochemistry]], [[Book of Botanics|Botanics]] and [[Book of Advanced Potions|Advanced Potions]] as prerequisites. [[Frukas]] in [[White Stone]] sells them.
