=== Mortars & pestles ===
* If you can't afford to break a lot, check your [[Astrology|degrade modifier]] before starting a mixing session.
* If you make them yourself, make them at the gypsum deposit, return with a load of gypsum. You'll have to bring food and the essences. Remember to bring some extra food just in case (depending on your manufacturing level) and the fact that there's an upper limit to the number of mortars & pestles you can make per run. This depends on what else you carry along.

=== Vials ===
* If you decide to make them yourself, check your degrade modifier before you start a mixing session.

=== Animal parts ===
* Don't level with potions that require animal parts.
* If you don't have the animal parts needed for a potion, consider requiring them from customers as part of the trade.
* Consider selling potions that require animal parts (or are hard to make in terms of ingredients) to friends only.
* The [[Hawk Feather]]s for [[Jayden]] can be collected with some effort in [[Hurquin]] as there are two spawns that one can use for this purpose walking from one to the other and back. One is in the south, below the tavern and the other in the middle to north of the city with a eastward tendency.

=== Extracts ===
If you decide to make them, try how you like making them at least partially at the gypsum deposit. This lets you stock up on gypsum in case you want to use them for "experience boosts" later. 

One strategy Ive heard some people use, is to harvest all ings for extracts, and make them in the potting school on scholars day. This results in x2 exp + extra exp from scholars Day. My guess is you can probably get up to 800 exp on some Extracts. --[[User:Nerdz|Nerdz]] 00:20, 10 January 2009 (CST)
