Potion Making

Hints:

• To get there, head west from Hurnscald until you go underneath the first bridge. Head south, and go under the next bridge. Turn east, then north, and Rauk is there.
• If you want gold, you are better off selling the Small Mushrooms and Petals than the ready potions; you will get 500 GP for the needed ingredients while only 250 GP each potion.
• These potions are also found as drops.

Dye Making

Hints:

• If Rauk doesn't offer the option of making a dye, you need to go back to Selim the Dyer, and ask him to dye you an item. You will need to have an undyed item with you. When he offers to dye it, choose a color that you don't have. Selim will tell you that you need to bring him some dye first. Ask him where you get dye from, and he will tell you to find an alchemist. Now go back to Rauk.
• Most Woodland maps have the plants, but the Southernmost Woodlands (Cobalt and Mauve Plants) and the South-West Woodlands (Alizarin and Gamboge Plants) contain the most.
• Target the nearest enemy (the a-key by default) while walking around to easier find the plants.
• To gather these plants, attack them like you would any other monster.
• Pearls can be found at the Beach west of Tulimshar.
• If you do magic and have level 2 nature and general magic, try using the shearing spell on herb plants, they usually drop a herb.
• To receive a bonus, request the Dark Green Dye. Take with you about 15-20 green slimes, and talk to Rauk.
• Select that you only want to dye clothes, and he will give you the correct options. Choose to figure it out. The reward when you have worked it out is 20,000 EXP, whether or not you buy the dye. EXP is rewarded only once.
