=== Beyond vegetal 4 === As a serious potion maker you will have to get your vegetal nexus to 5 sooner or later, simply because you want to make True sight potions. As with any other nexus, you should consider buying it from [[Costel]]. However, getting a vegetal nexus of 6 should be considered a luxury at this point, because the potions needing it are low in demand or there's basically no demand altogether. You should wait until you've made enough money with other potions (see [[#Leveling|above]]) to buy this extra nexus, unless you don't mind spending pickpoints on nexi or plan to reset of course. * [[Potion of Harvesting]], there's no demand for this potion. The players who could benefit from it are the ones that can't afford to buy it. The [[White Rabbit Fur]] makes it unsuited and too expensive for serious leveling (Mira sells for 20gc, buys for 10gc). * [[Potion of Manufacturing]], you might be able to sell a few of these at storages, the ingredients are harvestable so unless you bought them, it won't hurt to keep a few in storage but don't expect high trade volumes. Not suited for leveling. * [[Potion of Summoning]], summoners will buy these in decent quantities (sometimes). The ingredients make them somewhat of a pain to create. Not suited for leveling. * [[Potion of Crafting]], every now and then you might be able to sell a few of these. Don't count on it though. Not suited for leveling. * [[Magic Potion]], there's some demand for magic potions usually by players that want to start [[Mana Drain Spell|draining mana]] early, as there's no competition from NPCs you should be able to charge a price that let's you break even or make profit. Not suited for serious leveling. * [[Potion of Extra Mana]], if you're making a lot of Potions of Spirit Restoration, you will seldom need to make Potions of Extra Mana using the recipe, demand is usually driven by PK and PK events. It's certainly good to have a couple ready, not really suited for leveling. * [[Potion of Great Healing]], currently the recipe is totally worthless and due to the influx by [[Desert Chimeran]]s there's no demand by players that can't be satisfied by it. '''Do not make''' these unless by chance while making Potions of Body Restoration. * [[Poison Antidote]], nice to make and there's some demand for them, the book seems to be rather expensive and you shouldn't expect to get the money back by making these any time soon. NPC buying price is less than for True sight potions and ingredients include twice the amount of NPC brew and they don't stack; makes them overall less attractive than True sight potions, but keep a good load in storage since if you're using [[Toadstool]]s for food, you might end up being your own best customer for these. * [[True Sight Potion]], discussed [[#Leveling|above]]. * [[Invisibility Potion]], if you find a supplier for the furs or hunt your own, these are kind of nice, suited for leveling if you don't mind the long walk to the [[#NPCs|Aeth Aelfan pharmacy]] (pays 105gc) or can afford to have them sit in storage until you're able to sell them. The fact that [[Fluffy Rabbit]]s and other monsters drop them as well as the animal ingredients, weight and the fact that they don't stack make them less than great potions to make in general. * [[Potion of Accuracy]], there's a good demand for these. The furs make them unsuited for leveling and there's also an influx by drops, however if you can manage to get your hands on furs, these are nice to have. Since they aren't as nice of a profit as True sight potions, you shouldn't waste money on the book if you can't afford to. * [[Potion of Evasion]], see Potion of Accuracy above, the same applies here. * [[Potion of Alchemy]], demand for Potions of Alchemy is rare and the less than optimal ingredients don't recommend this potion for much except if you can get your hands on the ingredients for less than 100gc as that's what Closca will give you for them. Due to animal items involved this potion isn't suited for leveling. * [[Potion of Potion]], if you're short on gc (aka haven't reached True sight potions yet), you shouldn't be worried about this potion. You will never get the money for the book back as there's no demand and NPC buying price isn't worth it. * [[Potion of Engineering]], demand is low for these, the ingredients scream: do not level with me. * [[Potion of Cold Protection]], no leveling item, due to low demand and ingredients. * [[Potion of Heat Protection]], no leveling item, due to low demand and ingredients. * [[Potion of Radiation Protection]], no leveling item, due to low demand and ingredients. * Extracts ([[Yarrow-Wormwood-Tulip Extract]], [[Nightshade-Mullein-Dandelion Extract]], [[Poison Ivy-Henbane-Poppies Extract]], [[Red Currents-Blue Berries-Rue Extract]], [[White Chanterelle-Ogre Toes-Tree Mushroom Extract]], [[Wheat-Valerian-Mugwort Extract]], [[Wheat-Daffodils-Feran Horn Extract]]) are used to make the mixtures below, the demand for the mixtures is changing at the moment due to the shapeshifting possibilities. Each takes more ingredients than the number of experience equivalent True sight potions and the gypsum makes them hard to make. If you decide to make them, make them at the gypsum deposit and stock up on gypsum (or do that while making mortars and pestles if you make your own), that way you can stock up for [[Special Days#Scholars Day|Scholars Day]] or [[Special Days#Day of Joule|Day of Joule]]. In that sense it's not a leveling item (better experience and money for True sight potions) but a "level blast for the prepared" item. * [[Refined Vegetal Mixture]], if you took vegetal 6 and made the extracts, you might as well make this potion, see extracts above as to why this is not a leveling item and why this is no reason to take vegetal 6 for the casual potion maker. The use in [[Creature food]] gives an increase in experience and better income as well. * [[Mixture of Power]], the same considerations as for the refined vegetal mixture and extracts apply here. * [[Creature food]], if you made the Refined Vegetal Mixtures you can turn them into a profit with this item, the demand should be steady and increasing when more shapes are added to the game. * [[Potion of Attack Reduction]], the usefulness of and demand for this potion is yet to be determined * [[Potion of Defense Reduction]], the usefulness of and demand for this potion is yet to be determined
