Potion Brewing
Editors Note, this section is incomplete and will need to be expanded on with the potion update
– This is supposed to be a comprehensive guide on the act of potion brewing.
Potion Brewing is a system in Arcane Odyssey which allows players to brew potions that can apply powerful buffs and debuffs to themselves or others, which can assist with exploring, combat and other activities such as fishing or boss grinding.
To brew a potion, the player must find a cauldron located near an alchemist. When holding a Reagent or a Catalyst near the cauldron, a prompt will appear to put the Reagent/Catalyst in the cauldron. Once a potion can be brewed, a prompt will appear to brew the potion.
There are four (4) things which can change the type of potion brewed.
- Catalyst (Affects duration)
- Reagent type (Affects effect)
- Reagent amount (Affects strength of effect)
- Potion Brewing Level. (Extra multiplier)
Catalysts decide what type of potion you brew and act as a multiplier to duration. Depending on the Catalyst, potions might be used in a different way, and potions will have different models and potency.
For example, a common shore item will give a Vial, which has a base 0.5x Potency, and is a drinkable potion. A pinecone will give a throwable burst potion with 0.65x Potency.
Potency is a multiplier for the duration of the potion.
Reagents decide the effect and tier of a potion, higher-tier potions will give stronger effects. There are two tiers of potion reagents in-game.
Tier 1 potions - 1x T1 reagent
Tier 2 potions - 5x T1 reagent
Tier 3 potions - 10x T1 reagent
Tier 4 potions - 5x T2 reagent
Tier 5 potions - 10x T2 reagent
For example, 1 Seaweed will give a T1 Waterbreathing potion, whilst 5 Lurker Eyes will give a T4 Revealing potion, which is stronger than a T1 Revealing potion.
Keep in mind that all potions are stylised without whitespace in between words:
- Waterbreathing
- Sharkrepel
Your potion brewing level acts similarly to your cooking level, giving a potency multiplier instead of a hunger multiplier. It levels up by brewing potions.
Placeholders:
If the reagent/catalyst is unknown use the placeholder
Unknown
Correct and incorrect usage
Correct Usage:
Above image is correct usage of the placeholder, as it is confirmed that a T2 Waterbreathing reagent is in game by trello notes, but the reagent is unknown.
Incorrect Usage:
Above image is incorrect usage of the placeholder, as it has been confirmed by trello patches that the T2 reagent of Revealing is a Lurker Eye
If the reagent/catalyst is added but not available until the dark sea use the placeholder
Dark Sea
Correct and incorrect usage
Correct Usage:
Above image is correct usage as it is confirmed by trello patch notes that the reagent will not be available until the dark sea update.
Incorrect Usage:
Above image is incorrect usage, as the T1 waterbreathing reagent is not found in the dark sea.
If the reagent/catalyst is not added yet, use the placeholder
N/A
Correct and incorrect usage
Correct Usage:
Above image is correct usage as there is no confirmed T2 power reagent in game
Incorrect Usage:
Above image is incorrect usage as the Harming T1 reagent is in the test universe at time of writing.
If anything is speculated with evidence, but not confirmed with a note on the Arcane Odyssey trello or in-game experience, mark it with
(?)
This placeholder does not apply for potion effects, as each potion effect is still currently speculation at time of writing.
