I’m replacing all image-based sections of this guide with plain formatted text to ensure better compatibility with translation tools and make the content more accessible to all guide readers.

This change might affect the way some parts were previously presented. I appreciate your understanding, and I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

I will keep this section up for others to see the changes to the guide. Will decide when to remove this section.

The goal of this guide is:

• to minimize or completely skip unnecessary procedures for faster brewing, like reliance of sand glass, boiling process, grinding process, etc.
  
• to minimize the dependence of makeshift timing methods (which involves using an external clock/timer, manually counting down, or whatever pizzle you can yank up with)
  
• to not rely on graphical changes when brewing (like boiling animations, smoke, etc)
  
• to brew Henry Quality Potions by following the procedures provided in this guide at a minimum Alchemy Level of 16.

The following Alchemical Concoctions are not covered:

• Concoctions that yields no quality
  
• Gunpowder-related concoctions

You're going to spend the midnight brewing Henry Quality Potions with fresh herbs.

Unlocked at Alchemy Level 16, this perk allows brewing of Henry Quality Potions, the highest and best quality that you can get for perfectly following the potion's procedure, which offers effective healing, enhanced attribute boosts, extended durations, and access to unique utility effects.

Unlocked at Alchemy Level 10, this perk preserves the potion quality if you've made mistakes when brewing a potion. To Activate this perk, you need to start a brewing session at 00:00 - 04:30. The perk will remain active if you don't leave the table, regardless of what time it is.

Unlocks at Alchemy Levels 8 (Tier I) and 14 (Tier II), these perks increases the number of potions per successful brew. Having two of the perks selected will yield an additional 3 potions per brew.

Unlocks at Alchemy Levels 8 (Tier I) and 14 (Tier II), these perks preserves the potion quality by increasing the total number of mistakes you can make when brewing a potion. Having two of the perks selected will increase the amount of mistakes you can make, without worrying of degrading the potion quality.


NOTE: Each tier of Secret of Matter and Secret of Equilibrium is mutually exclusive. You can only choose one perk per tier between the two.

This guide removes some steps to shorten the brewing process. While this speeds things up, it's also more prone to mistakes, affecting the quality of the potion. This will also affect the usage of dried herbs. Here's how to preserve the quality while adding more mistakes:

• Having Dark Arts Apprentice perk active lets you preserve a potion quality by handling some mistakes when brewing. This means you're going to brew potions at night.
  
• Having Secret of Equilibrium perk/s also lets you preserve a potion quality by handling MORE mistakes when brewing. This lets you make use of dried herbs (either mixed with fresh or all dried) and brew potions at any time.
  
• Leveling up your Alchemy will somewhat adds another minor mistake when brewing, preserving the potion quality. You will notice this if you have max Alchemy Level.

NOTE: the strict usage of fresh, mixed or dried herbs for certain perk combinations are only exclusive for this guide!

I'd recommend picking this combination if you enjoy brewing potions at night, and prefers using fresh herbs over dried as well. So better plan what potions to brew, so you'd know which herbs to gather before night falls!

With this perk combination, brewing will yield six (6) potions.
At minimum alchemy level (16), you're stuck at using fresh herbs AND you need to have Dark Arts Apprentice perk active, which means you're brewing potions at midnight. As you level up your alchemy, you get to brew some potions at daytime and you get to mix your ingredients with dried herbs too! If you still want to maintain brewing potions at midnight, some potions can be brewed using dried herbs only too!


If you're unsure which combination to take, go for this one: Lets you brew potions with fresh herbs at any time, or if you plan to use mixed herbs (because you don't want to go herb picking a lot, especially for rare herbs like Belladonna, Herb Paris or St. John's Wort), you can brew them at nighttime, with decent potion yield count.

With this perk combination, brewing will yield five (5) potions.
At minimum alchemy level (16), you can brew potions at any time BUT with fresh herbs only. If you still want to maintain brewing at midnight, you get to mix your ingredients with dried herbs. As you level up your alchemy, some potions can be brewed with any herb quality, at any time!

Reserved for people who are struggling to get the potions at best quality, and who don't want to plan out gathering herbs.

With this perk combination, brewing will yield four (4) potions.
At minimum alchemy level (16), you get to brew all sorts of potions with fresh herb quality at any time, and you can even mix it up with dried herbs too! If you still want to maintain brewing potions at night, you get to use dried herb quality herbs only! As you level up your alchemy level, some potions can be brewed with any quality of herbs at any time!

For usage of mixed herbs (fresh + dried), no more than two-thirds (2/3) of the total ingredients can be dried, else would result to a degrade of potion quality. Quantity is not affected. Take note of the brewing conditions of the potion you're currently brewing if it allows mixed herbs.

If a potion uses a total of:

• 3 or 4 ingredients, you can use 2 dried herbs.
  
• 5 ingredients, you can use 3 dried herbs.

Just to add, here are some keybindings (for PC) so you'd save some time aiming for whatever thing you point at:

X - Lift the cauldron up/down
F - Turn the sandglass

I don't know controller bindings, but let me know in the comments!

» With the recent changes to the cauldron locking your view when moving it up or down, you need to properly select the order of the ingredients. Picking that ingredient first would put it at the farthest of the hourglass. Some potion guide here will indicate the order of selection for an easier reach.


Here's an example of Embrocation's order of ingredient selection, which is arranged already from left to right when picking the herbs in order. This way, your eyebright will be placed at the farthest, while the poppy will be placed near the hourglass for easier reach.

» If one of the potion brewing procedure mentions "Ingredient 1, Ingredient 2, ..., Ingredient N":

• And it says "Add to cauldron", then you add all of the mentioned ingredients to the cauldron.
  
• And it says "Add to mortar", then you add all of the mentioned ingredients to the mortar.
  
• And it says "Grind then add them to cauldron", then you grind all of the mentioned ingredients to the mortar all at once, then add the grinded ingredients to the cauldron.

» If you somehow made a mistake like grinding the ingredient before the cauldron is down instead of after, turn the sand glass once, then you can proceed.

• let's say you're brewing Aqua Vitalis, and you've added the Marigold to the mortar. Instead of moving the cauldron down, you accidentally grinded it. Just settle the grinded ingredient to the dish, move the cauldron down, then boil for one sand glass turn.

» Last but not least, when you're moving the cauldron down, you need to be MORE QUICK on interacting with whatever it's instructed in the following procedures of a potion you're brewing. The procedure will be emphasized to easily recognize the part of boiling process.

Each potions in the guide will have a brewing condition matrix table. This is to determine if you can brew the potion without degrading the potion quality using whatever herb quality you have: fresh or dried, or both

Do note that brewing the potion that does not support using the quality of herb on a certain perk combination would result to a loss of quality!

REMEMBER THESE TWO SYMBOLS!
🟩 = Can be done with Alchemy Level of 16 and above
🟨 = Can be done only with Alchemy Level 30

Example table:

If you have selected Secret of Matter I + Secret of Matter II perks:

• You can only brew this potion at nighttime (with Dark Arts active) using fresh herbs only; requires Alchemy 16+

If you have selected Secret of Equilibrium I + Secret of Matter II perks:

• You can brew this potion any time (day or night with Dark Arts active) with fresh herbs, but if you plan mixing it with dried herbs, you can only do that at nighttime (with Dark Arts active); requires Alchemy 16+

If you have selected Secret of Matter I + Secret of Equilibrium II perks:

• You can brew this potion at any time (day or night with Dark Arts active) with fresh herbs or mixing it up with dried herbs; Requires nighttime to brew the potion (with Dark Arts active) if you plan on using dried herbs only; Requires Alchemy 16+
  
• You can brew this at any time with any herb quality if you have Alchemy 30

I highly recommend you to pin this guide with Steam Overlay, letting you read the guide's procedures in-game while brewing the potion. Default Binding is LShift + Tab (may depend on whatever current keybinding for opening Steam Overlay in-game)

Planning to provide another brewing procedure to all potions for anyone who selected "Secret of Equilibrium I + Secret of Matter II" soon, so I don't have to overly focused on to "Secret of Matter I + Secret of Matter II" procedures only.

Requirements for optimal brewing is set to a minimum Alchemy Level of 16, in which the level required to acquire two of the important perks: Secret of Secrets and Dark Arts Apprentice. All of these potions are brewed with the minimum (16) and maximum (30) Alchemy Level at night and proven to yield the exact quality.

Some potions that have an "🟨 any time" condition are assumed to only work for max alchemy level, as it will require me to brew ALL the potions for each Alchemy Levels to figure out the exact level where that condition applies. Right now, they're fixed at max alchemy level.

Another thing, brewing conditions should be accurate for perk combinations "Secret of Equilibrium I + Secret of Matter II" and "Secret of Matter I + Secret of Equilibrium II". I have selected "Secret of Matter I + Secret of Matter II" to brew all the potions here and brewed the exact quality as needed. Just some minor adjustments for the other two conditions, will assume it would work at daytime with the given herb quality to choose. You can mess around on which steps can be reduced if you have the other two perk combinations and let me know in the comments!
