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.
