Text[edit]

Potion of Transformation

This potion must be kept at room temperature at all times. No exceptions, unless you're eager to be rid of a leg. Keep stored within a well-ventilated and ehumidified area. Do not keep past expiration date noted on the bottom of the container, and do not jostle the container as the liquid inside is volatile. Most critically, under no circumstances can you drop this vial unless you're prepared to meeet the Six (or whatever omnipresent being you may seek guidance from).

Potion of Attraction

This potion is NOT for those who are looking for some sort of affection or love potion... that is, unless you're keen for your suitor trying to maul you to death. When this potion makes contact with the skin of any creature or subject, it will force their sweat glands to secrete fluids that will mix with the stimulant, attracting any non-sapient creatures nearby and causing them to become hostile toward them.

Notes[edit]

  • The book flavour text for potion of explosion and potion of transformation is identical.
  • If you prepare a concoction incorrectly, the following text will be displayed on the screen: The batch has been ruined. Be mindful of the ingredients and quantities you add to the pot. Review the recipe book to start over.
  • While the event is active the partaking players will receive the Preparing Potion timer for approx. 9 min.
  • While a concoction is being made by the player, the timer Boiling Cauldron lasting approx. 50 s will be visible.
  • Each of the recipes corresponds with one of the concoction thrown at Kryptis during the Help Zizel test the freshly made concoctions on the Kryptis event.
