Brew potions using the built-in brewing guide

Accessing the brewing guide

The Helpful Default Pack adds a quick reference guide directly on the brewing stand screen. When you open a brewing stand, the guide appears automatically—no need to look up recipes elsewhere or memorize potion ingredients.

Reading the guide

The brewing guide shows which ingredients combine with which base potions to create specific effects. Instead of trial and error or alt-tabbing to a wiki, you can see valid recipes at a glance while standing at the brewing stand.

Brewing workflow

Step 1: Place water bottles in the brewing stand's three bottom slots.

Step 2: Check the guide to see which ingredient you need for your desired potion.

Step 4: Repeat with new ingredients to extend duration or add secondary effects.

Time savings

The on-screen guide eliminates the need to pause and consult external resources. You can brew potions continuously without interrupting your workflow, making potion production faster during preparation for raids, boss fights, or long expeditions.
