Runescape Dragonwilds – Complete Potions Guide

by

The minimalist version of Runescape’s Dragonwilds is currently available in early access, offering a streamlined yet enjoyable experience. At present, farming and herblore are absent from the game, but players can still concoct potions using rudimentary alchemy. In this tutorial, we will provide you with an overview of the essential information required to brew potions within the game, allowing you to accumulate some beneficial passive effects!

Complete Potions Guide

In this initial version of the game, there’s a variety of potions you can concoct, and to do so, you simply require a cauldron for brewing in your base. This essential tool is quickly accessible as you receive the recipe upon collecting some clay for the first time.

If you haven’t encountered any clay so far, head over to the area known as the ‘Murmuring Marshes’ and explore until you come across some prominent brown clay deposits. They stand out due to their color and are hard to overlook. Feel free to use your pickaxe to chip away at them or cast a ‘Rocksplosion’ spell to expedite the process.

With some clay available, you can now construct a pot for brewing at your settlement. Remember to build this structure under a shelter as it requires protection from the elements. To create one, you’ll need these resources:

With some clay on hand, you’re ready to craft a pot for brewing at your camp. Make sure to build it under a roof because it needs shelter. Here are the materials needed:

  • 16x Ash Logs
  • 10x Rune Essence
  • 6x Coarse Thread
  • 6x Clay

Beyond that, you’ll find it necessary to construct a pottery wheel using simple materials at hand. This tool will enable you to create clay pots, an essential item for brewing potions. Furthermore, you’ll also need to fabricate a kiln, which can be made by gathering the following components:

  • 20x Stone
  • 10x Fire Runes
  • 8x Ash Logs
  • 6x Clay

At your fully equipped workstations, you can now commence brewing your concoctions. To start, create an unbaked clay container using the potter’s wheel, and then place it in the kiln for completion of the crafting procedure.

To ensure that you have enough containers for each potion, it’s wise to craft multiple clay vessels ahead of time. It would be beneficial to keep a sizable stockpile of these vessels near the kiln, allowing you to gather additional resources before returning to complete your work.

To create potions, you should initially light your cauldron for brewing with either wood or charcoal since it needs a heat source to function. After that, put a clay pot and then the main and secondary ingredients in the remaining open spaces.

In Dragonwilds, much like in the original game, potions are typically crafted using a single herb and an additional material. To discover new potion recipes, all you have to do is experiment with different secondary ingredients and see how each one affects the herbs you’re using.

For your convenience, here’s a list of the various concoctions you can currently brew, given that the game is still in its early stages and not as expansive as one might expect:

  • Weak Healing Potion – 1x Clay Vessel, 1x Harralander, 1x Redberries
    • Heals a small amount of health on use. Commonly found as a drop too.
  • Weak Antipoison Potion – 1x Clay Vessel, 1x Harralander, 1x Bittercap Mushroom
    • Completely protects you against poison damage over time for a few minutes.

    • Reduces the stamina drain from woodcutting activities for a few minutes.
  • Weak Focused Mining Potion – 1x Clay Vessel, 1x Marrentill, 1x Animal Bone
    • Gives you a small buff that boosts experience gain for the mining skill for a few minutes.

    • Gives you a small buff that boosts experience gain for the construction skill for a few minutes.
  • Weak Focused Artisan Potion – 1x Clay Vessel, 1x Marrentill, 1x Redberries
    • Gives you a small buff that boosts experience gain for the artisan skill for a few minutes.
  • Healing Potion – 1x Clay Vessel, 1x Snapdragon, 2x Dwellberries
    • Heals a decent amount of health. Significantly better than the weak variant, but much harder to stock up on due to where the materials are found.
  • Attack Potion – 1x Clay Vessel, 1x Snapdragon, 1x Ground Granite
    • Gives you a decent boost to critical hit chance for several minutes.

So far, these are all the potions we have discovered, along with instructions on how to create them and their effects. Now, armed with this knowledge, you can concoct numerous types of potions in the game. This will prepare you for deciphering new recipes as they’re introduced later on.
