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.

Formerly utilised only by members of the Druid, Sylvan, and Sentinel classes, the Concoctions skill enabled forestal adventurers to brew healing elixirs and salves from a variety of medicinal herbs. Only concoctionists used to be able to harvest herbs, provided the corresponding 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.
