Brewing potions takes at least 20 minutes of in character time, in which you can brew 4 potions of any combination of recipes that you know and will be required to watch your brew and tend it. For every 5 minutes additional time spent brewing potions you may make an extra potion (e.g. you spend 30 minutes brewing potions and create 6 potions). Each potion has a specific recipe which will be provided to you when you purchase that potion recipe. Some recipes require fire to boil, please be very careful and use common sense when making these potions.
To be able to brew potions you need the Apothecary skill and an Apothecary Kit. Please note that you will need to bring your own mortar and pestle and other tools for potion making to represent the kit.
Potions work as soon as you drink one but you may only drink one potion every thirty minutes.
