Editing Comprehensive guide to potion making (section)

=== Vials ===
You will obviously need plenty of [[Empty Vial]]s to make potions. There are five options to obtain vials but only three of them will be feasible in the long run:
* Get them from [[Harvy]], this is the worst option, see [[#NPCs|below]].
* Buy [[Potion of Mana|Potions of Mana]] or [[Potion of Minor Healing|Potions of Minor Healing]] from [[Mira]]. When you use those potions you will get an empty vial. You can try using them for mana or healing while fighting to get vials.
* Buy them from players.
* Make them yourself, if you want the crafting experience and already have a sufficiently high crafting level. Make sure that your [[Astrology|break rate]] modifier is positive!
* Buy them from [[Closca]] in [[Melinis]] for 5gc each. You can haul them to [[Thelinor]] by the cave from Melinis (you will need a [[Monster Magnetism Cloak]] or [[Monster Magnetism Perk|perk]]) or to [[South Redmoon]] by [[Hurquin]] - this route is free of aggressive creatures save [[Leonard]] at night but takes longer, or you can use the [[Hazardel|HazMat storage]] in Melinis; if you're not willing to [[Teleport to Range Spell|teleport to range]] every trip, this will require monster magnetism as well and will take longer than the trip to Thelinor.
