Utilised by members of the Druid, Sylvan, and Sentinel classes, Concoctions enables adventurers to brew healing elixirs and salves from a variety of medicinal herbs. Concoctionists may also harvest these herbs themselves, provided the corresponding ability in Groves or Woodlore has been learned. Concoctionists often find the artefact Gloves of Harvesting a useful aide in their quest to fill up their rift with plants.

In the past, some other 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.
