Analysis, Discussion and Tips for Success
General Discussion
Introduced at the same time as Crafting potions, Fletching potions provide a complementary +3 boost to the Fletching skill, and are made with the same new herb, wergali. The secondary ingredient for these potions is wimpy feathers, which can be caught in Oo'glog, using the same procedure used in the quest As a First Resort.... Unlike the secondary ingredient for Crafting pots, wimpy feathers are tradeable. And they have another advantage in being stackable items, which allows you to make these potions about 10% faster than ones where the secondary item does not stack. The main limiting factor in making Fletching potions is limited supply of wergali herbs, and limited demand for the finished product.
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
Due to the stackable secondary ingredient, making this potion is best done by first creating a lot of unfinished potions, and then finishing them.
Take out 14 water-filled vials and 14 clean wergali. 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. Repeat this several times until your wergali is used up.
Now take out of the bank a stack of wimpy feathers and 27 unfinished wergali potions. Click the feathers, then a potion, right-click and choose "Make All". Wait until you have 27 finished Fletching potions, bank them, and repeat.
