Potions

Once you add a herb to a Vial of water, you get an unfinished potion; you must add a secondary ingredient to finish the potion completely. A newly finished vial of potion contains 3 doses of the potion. Some higher-level potions require a vial of Coconut milk to be used instead of water.

Wearing an Amulet of Chemistry gives a 5% chance of the created potion having 4 doses instead. This can be useful for conserving resources on Ironman accounts or for potions with rare or expensive ingredients.
