Utilised by members of the [[Druid]], [[Sylvan]], and [[Sentinel]] [[:category:classes|classes]], '''Concoctions''' enables [[adventurers]] to brew healing [[:category:elixirs|elixirs]] and [[:category:salves|salves]] from a variety of medicinal [[:category:herbs|herbs]]. Concoctionists may also harvest these herbs themselves, provided the corresponding [[:Category:Abilities|ability]] in [[Groves]] or [[Woodlore]] has been learned. Concoctionists often find the [[:category:artefacts|artefact]] [[Gloves of Harvesting]] a useful aid in their quest to fill up their [[rift]] with [[:Category:Plants|plants]].
Formerly utilised only by members of the [[Druid]], [[Sylvan]], and [[Sentinel]] [[:category:classes|classes]], the '''Concoctions''' skill enabled forestal [[adventurers]] to brew healing [[:category:elixirs|elixirs]] and [[:category:salves|salves]] from a variety of medicinal [[:category:herbs|herbs]]. Only concoctionists used to be able to harvest herbs, provided the corresponding [[:Category:Abilities|ability]] in [[Groves]] or [[Woodlore]] had been learned. However, the implementation of the [[Harvesting]] and [[Remedies]] [[trade skills]] opened up the ability to harvest herbs and brew medicinal cures to all classes, and the Concoctions skill ceased to be.


In the past, some other [[Lost Elixirs|elixirs]] were known, but with the discovery of herbs with similar healing properties during the second century AF, mortals lost the ability to create these.
