Learn the Apothecary skill at the capital city of your realm. The "Apothecary" NPC will teach you the specialization. Pair this with the skills Cultivating or Butchering.


Apothecary Window In Game

The Apothecary skill will allow you to create potions. Visit the Cultivating page for a list of materials currently enabled in RoR.

It seems to be the case that some combination of Goldweed and Resin can often guarantee a potent lasting potion and often leads to increased liniment yields.


What You Need

To create a potion, you'll need a Container, a Main Ingredient, and then Supplemental Ingredients to stabilize and strengthen the potion.

  • Start by opening your Apothecary window, then right click the container you'd like to use.
  • Next, right click a Main Ingredient to add it, and then right click to add up to three supplemental ingredients.
  • Finally, click Brew! to create your potion.

Containers

Containers are the vials you'll use to store your potions. Higher level containers will boost both the stability and the power of a potion you create. Expand the section below for a list of Containers.

You can buy most containers from the Craft Supply Merchant in either Altdorf or the Inevitable City.

Volatility

Volatility Meter In-game

Volatility is the primary hurdle you need to overcome when creating potions. To make them less volatile, you'll add Stabilizers, like Zoic Gore or Arboreal Resin.

The bar on the right of the Apothecary window will show you how Stable or Volatile a potion is. Make sure the bar has reached the green section near the top to ensure a successful potion!

Main Ingredients

Plants

When you harvest a seed with Cultivating, you get a plant according to the type/level of the seed.

Spores

When you harvest a seed with Cultivating, you get a plant according to the type/level of the seed.

Butchering

Butchering can also grant a number of main ingredients. Their strength is based on the level of the enemy mob killed.

Ingredients

Stabilizer

Stabilizers are needed for most potions, and reduce their volatility. Volatile Potions created without enough stabilizers may go wrong, and can grant negative effects.

Extender

Extenders are used to increase the time a potion is active. The maximum time a crafted potion can be active is 1 hour.

Multiplier

Multipliers are used to increase the amount of potions you gain from a single craft.

Fixer

Fixers are used in the creation of Dyes.

Stimulant

Stimulants increase the chance of a critical craft occurring. Critical crafts boost the strength of the potion(s) you make even further.

Pairing Cultivating or Butchering ?

Apothecary is a crafting skill that need a gathering skill: Cultivating or Butchering. You can only practice two profession at a time per character.

Cultivating

With Cultivating, you get plants and spores that you can brew to get :

  • Restoration
  • Intelligence
  • Willpower
  • Strength
  • Flame Breath
  • Molotov
  • Invigoration/Energy
  • Healing
  • Ballistics
  • Napalm
  • Corporeal resistance
  • Spirit resistance
  • Stimulant
  • Extender
  • Multiplier
  • Stabilizer

Butchering

You can also use Butchering to acquire ingredients for your potions.

Note: Ingredients like Extenders come exclusively from Cultivating, and certain main ingredients (like Scales for Armor Potions) come exclusively from Butchering. To create top-tier potions, you may need to mix ingredients from both gathering professions.

Liniments

Liniments are a special consumable usable at level 40, which lasts for 30 minutes. They require rank 200 Apothecary to craft.

Note: Players can combine effects from Offensive potions, like Liniments, alongside effects from defensive potions (like Armor Potions).

Leveling Tips

  • 1. Make sure to use Main Ingredients as close to your level as possible. (After Level 25, use Level 25 Main ingredients. After hitting 50, use level 50 Main Ingredients, etc.)
  • 2. If you're in guild above Rank 21, you can get special Containers and ingredients by talking to the Quartermaster in the Guild Hall in your capital city. (Order: Sigmar's Hammer, Southwest Altdorf. Destro: The Viper Pit, North Inevitable City)
  • 3. If you're missing ingredients, you can purchase most from other players via the Auction House, or use another character to gather them and mail them over.
