Step by step
- 1
Pick the potion
All potions are on one screen: pick the one you brew.
- 2
Tier, enchantment and amount
Only the tiers the potion exists in can be picked. Enter how many potions you want: one brew makes a whole batch. Add the station fee: silver per 100 nutrition, set by the station owner.
- 3
Choose the cities
Where you buy the herbs and other ingredients, where you brew and where you sell. Potions are brewed best in Brecilien (+15%), so the calculator starts there. “Best cities” tries every combination and picks the most profitable one.

Set your account and station
Turn on focus if you spend it, premium if you have it and sell by order if you list. Brewing in a hideout or on a guild island? Turn on “Own return rate” and type your station’s rate.

Check the prices
Every herb, milk, egg, alcohol, the extract of enchanted potions and the potion itself show their city and age. Type your own price where one is missing or wrong; clear the field to go back to the market price.

Batches and extracts
One brew makes a batchMost potions come five at a time from one set of ingredients. The calculator counts potions, so 50 potions is ten brews.
Ingredients come backHerbs, milk, eggs and alcohol are returned by the return rate, so you buy only what is used up.
Enchanted potions need extractsPotions .1 to .3 take basic, refined or pure arcane extract on top of the usual ingredients. It is bought like any ingredient and shows its own price.

Tips
Questions
Why is a price missing?
Prices on our servers are only kept while they are recent. Some herbs, extracts and rare potions are seldom traded in some cities. Type the price you see in game and the calculator uses it.
Which potions are worth brewing?
Open a potion and look at the table at the bottom: it shows every tier and enchantment at once. Healing, energy and resistance potions sell in the largest numbers.
What is “own return rate”?
Hideouts and guild islands have their own return rate. Turn on “Own return rate” and type the rate your station shows, with focus if you use it.
What is the daily bonus?
Every day after the reset one crafting or refining group gets +10% and another +20% production bonus. When it matches your potion, the calculator adds it for you; you can also set it by hand.
