Optimized Potion Recipes (WIP)
By Privul
I've struggled to find a current and optimized potion guide, likely due to the multitude of ways potions can be made. My goal is to create an up-to-date guide for all potion crafters out there! Let's dive into the diverse world of potion-making. (Please go ahead and tell me in the comments what potion you'd like to see next!)

===========Better Early Game Recipe===========
  • 1x Tangleweed, 1x Waterbloom
  • Fully ground Tangleweed, Partial ground Waterbloom, Water until T3
Poison Potion (All game states)
I can't quite think of a better recipe for poison, other than mixing two low cost ingredients to be more cost effective. So this is the way I've made poison all throughout the game.


  • 2x Stink Mushrooms
  • Fully grind both(Make sure to stop stirring once lined up if you do) or stop when it lines up, Water until T3
Slowness Potion (All Game States)
  • 1x Mudshroom Fully ground, Stir until touching wormhole and use wormhole.
  • 1x Waterbloom 0% ground, Stir and use the wormhole
  • 1x Mudshroom and 1x Waterbloom Fully ground, ride the wormhole to line up with the potion, stir and water down to T3.
Swiftness Potion (Early Game)

  • First grind up 2 Windblooms, and on the second or third as shown above, stop a little short so it can move left
  • Fully grind a Fourth Windbloom and water down to T3 once stirred.
Mana Potion (Early Game)

  • 3x Witch Mushroom fully ground and 1x Witch Mushroom thrown in.
  • Fully stir, and water down to T3
Fire Potion (Early Game & Mid/Late Game)
  • 3x Firebell
  • Fully grind the first Firebell, and grind the second Firebell until its at it's peak height then stop.
  • Finish by adding the third ground up, and Water down until T3
I'll start this "Late one" by saying this ones pretty inefficient as the ingredients are pricey, personally I'd just stick with the 3x Firebell Recipe

  • 1x Flameweed fully ground, 1x Lava Root fully ground
  • Stop stirring once in line, Water down for T3
Wild Growth Potion (Late Game)
Step 1:

Step 2:

  • 1x Healers Heather and 1x Coldleaf fully ground
  • As soon as you're on the edge of the wormhole, stop, heat it little by little until it lines up with the potion.
  • Stir until T3
Light Potion (Late Game)
  • 1x Flameweed and 1x Magma Morsel fully ground, then 1x Dragon Pepper partially ground
  • Stir until lined up, Water down to T3
Sleep Potion (Late Game)
  • 1x Coldleaf, 1x Watercap, and 1x Healers Heather Fully ground
  • Stir and Water down to T3
Magical Vision (Late Game)
  • 1x Spellbloom, and 1x Tangleweed Fully ground
  • Stir until wormhole(Don't teleport), add 1x Mageberry 50% Ground
  • Ride the wormhole until lined up safely, Stir and water a few times until T3 (Slightly Tricky Video will help.)
Explosive Potion (Late Game)
*I like this one a lot only 2 ingredients.
  • 1x Boombloom and 1x Mad Mushroom fully ground (Utilize wormhole)
Dexterity Potion (Late Game)
  • 1x Coldleaf Fully Ground, 1x Watercap 80% Ground (Don't go down with it at the end) and 1x Witch Mushroom Fully ground
  • Stir and Water down to T3

Anyone got a good rejuvenation potion recipe? Just can't seem to figure out an efficient one, always just do it by hand as soon as someone requests it.

3 Featherleafs can get you to Swiftness in 1 less ingredient than using Windblooms.

When making these recipes, make sure you consider the bulk brewing discount.

For example, your recipe for Frost III is a Tangleweed plus a Waterbloom, which is 211 gold (base price). That is the cheapest way to make one Frost III potion, because an Icefruit plus a Waterbloom won't *quite* reach.

But when you have max-level bulk brewing, you use 50% less ingredients. In this case, brewing five Frost III potions would use 2.5 Tangleweed and 2.5 Waterbloom, which rounds up to three of each, totaling 633 gold worth of ingredients or 126.6 gold per potion. Instead, you can use two Icefruit, which would use exactly five Icefruit to bulk brew five potions, totaling 585 gold worth of ingredients or 117 gold per potion.

1 Lifeleaf can get you healing III

I can't claim these are the most efficient recipes but they aren't super expensive. Though, they do require the wine base so they are pretty much end game recipes.The percentages are are strangely specific because i used the exact percentages i had after completing the potion. I did not round up or down as not to create problems with minute differences in the creation of the path. I say again that this is just what i used and it may not be the most efficient recipes for these potions. But they are a start.
