Analysis, Discussion and Tips for Success
General Discussion
Antifire potions are used to provide complete protection against dragon breath attacks when combined with an anti-dragon or dragonfire shield. Protection lasts for six minutes per dose.
The potions are made using lantadyme herbs and ground blue dragon scales. They can be further enhanced into super antifire potions.
Location and Access
You can make potions at any bank, but a one-click bank like Castle Wars is preferred.
Required and Recommended Equipment
No equipment is needed.
Required and Recommended Supplies
No supplies are required, aside from vials of water, herbs and secondary ingredients.
Familiar Suggestions
Summon a foraging familiar to earn extra money for you while you work -- I prefer the magpie, given the high value of rings and gems today.
Technique and Tips
Take out 14 water-filled vials and 14 clean lantadyme. Click one vial and then one herb (or vice-versa) and when prompted, right-click the main message area and choose "Make All". Wait for the herbs to be added to the water. Next, open the bank, take out 14 dragon scale dust, click one and then click one of your unfinished potions. Again choose "Make All" and wait. Bank the finished potions and repeat.
