Cure for boils

Cure for boils

Cure for boils only gives you 3 points but it is a good potion to practise with and learn the basics until you feel more confident to move onto more complex potions.

Ingredients: Snakes fangs, horned slugs, porcupine quills (see “ingredients” for help on where to find them)

Pewter cauldron – 45 minutes

Brass cauldron – 39 minutes

Copper cauldron – 34 minutes

Instructions

Step 1: Add 6 snake fangs to the mortar. To do this simply click on the snake fang bag and drag them across to the mortar then let go to release them in. Each time you do this 3 snake fangs will be added so only do the process twice and watch the counter which will appear showing you how many went in.

Step 2: Crush into a fine powder using the pestle. Continusesly click on the pestle and a green meter will start to fill up, do this until the green meter  reaches the point inbetween the 2 lines. Note> it’s easier and quicker to click on the actual mortar instead of the pestle.

Step 3: Add 4 measures of the crushed fangs into your cauldron. Do this in the same way as step 1, don’t forget to watch the counter.

Step 4: Heat the mixture to 250 for 10 seconds. Ignore the “250” it’s pointless. Instead click on the red button beneath your cauldron and this will make a meter similar to the one when you were crushing the fangs come up, again with 2 lines. The red button will make the meter fill up at a fast rate, wait until it reaches in between the 2 lines, at this point a timer will appear. Then click the orange button which will still increase the meter but at a slower speed. BEFORE the meter goes above the 2 lines (which is where you must keep it between for the 10 seconds) click the blue button which will decrease the meter. Keep alternating between the orange and blue to increase and decrease the meter as necessary. When the 10 second timer runs out click the blue button to turn off the heat otherwise you risk your cauldron exploding!

Step 5: Wave your wand. No that doesn’t mean wave a stick you broke off a tree ;) Your wand is located behind the bag of standard ingredients click on it once and the wand will do the rest.

Step 6: Leave your potion to brew for X amount of minutes. This is the easiest step! All you have to do is wait. While you’re waiting you can duel to get even more points, post tips or answer/ask questions in the common room, start a food fight, do muggle stuff or better yet add me as a friend (WizardSun27762) and send me a rock cake as a gift... oh yes I love collecting them :)!!

When your potion has finished brewing move onto the next steps.

Step 1: Add 4 horned slugs to your cauldron. Again do this the same way as the snake fangs.

Step 2: Add 2 porcupine quills to your cauldron. You should know how to do this by now!

Step 3: Stir 5 times clockwise. Click and drag the spoon inside the cauldron and drag it around in circles’ 5 times. Note> you may find it easier to make big circles around the screen when doing this. Watch the counter to see when you’ve reached 5 and in case you’re unsure clockwise is in this direction à

Step 4: Wave your wand. Same as last time, click the wand which is behind the standard bag of ingredients and leave it to do the rest and feel free to mutter hocus pocus enchantments under your breath as I do ;)

If you made it this far then congratulations you’ve successfully brewed a potion and are ready to brew more!
