Potion Recipes and Ingredients

While the options for potions are limited to just 6, players can use these to augment their gameplay no matter how they choose to approach a battle. We recommend picking up the recipe for Invisibility Potion as early as you can since this potion provides many uses in combat.

Potting Table with a Large Pot

Despite its hefty price tag, purchasing a Potting Table with a Large Pot gives you access to all three of the Combat Plants as well as ingredients needed for Focus Potion and Felix Felicis.

Mallowsweet Seeds

One of the problems that players in the early stages of the game often run into is running out of gear slots. The game starts you off with 20 gear slots but as you explore the world and complete quests you realize that this is nowhere near enough.

While you can sell excess gear in Hogsmeade (or simply destroy them), you also have the option of expanding your gear slots by way of Merlin Trials. Before you can start a merlin trial however, you'll need to use up Mallowsweet Leaves at Merlin Trial Locations.

Broom Upgrades and Variants

Players will have to play a few quests to get their broom but once it's in your inventory, you quickly see its value. Flying around the world either to get to the next quest or just to sightsee will be much easier with its upgrades.

Additionally, players can purchase other brooms should they want to sport a different look. Take note that these brooms are purely cosmetic and won't provide any additional improvements.

Earn Additional Gold to Buy More Items and Upgrades

As some of these items will need large amounts of gold, players will need to earn more gold to afford them. Selling excess gear or opening Disillusionment Chests are example of the different ways players can acquire more gold in the game.
