An explosion still counts for Grix's first lesson. Your first attempt uses the normal recipe cost and materials.

Crafting keeps '''one owned copy of each material'''. Only spare copies can be spent. You can mix materials or use several spare copies of the same material if it meets the required rarity. Lore scrolls cannot be used as ingredients.

== Normal Brew ==
'''Cost: 300 coins and three common-or-better material copies.'''

Normal Brew always makes one item:
{| class="wikitable sq-normal-brew-outcomes"
! Result !! Chance
|-
| {{Item link|Weak XP Brew}} || 70%
|-
| {{Item link|Standard XP Brew}} || 30%
|}
For example, three spare {{Item link|Mushroom}} copies fill all three slots. You need at least four owned Mushrooms to spend three and keep one.

== Volatile Brew ==
'''Cost: 750 coins, two rare-or-better material copies, and one epic-or-better material copy.'''

Volatile Brew can make {{Item link|Standard XP Brew}}, {{Item link|Potent XP Brew}}, or {{Item link|Masterwork Brew}}. An explosion gives no item. '''The coins and ingredients are spent on every attempt''', including explosions.

=== Volatile Brew chances ===
Your unique discovery count sets the chances. The recipe window shows your exact current chances. These are sample points:
<p class="sq-table-hint">Scroll the table sideways to see all outcomes.</p>
<div class="sq-table-scroll">
{| class="wikitable sq-volatile-brew-outcomes"
! Unique discoveries !! Explosion !! Standard XP Brew !! Potent XP Brew !! Masterwork Brew
|-
| 35 || 40% || 20% || 34% || 6%
|-
| 42 || 36% || 19% || 39% || 6%
|-
| 49 || 32% || 18% || 43% || 7%
|-
| 56 || 27% || 16% || 48% || 9%
|-
| 63 || 23% || 15% || 52% || 10%
|-
| 66 || 22% || 15% || 53% || 10%
|-
| 69 || 21% || 15% || 53% || 11%
|-
| 72 || 20% || 15% || 53% || 12%
|}
</div>
The chances stop changing at '''72 unique discoveries'''.

== XP boost comparison ==
<div class="sq-table-scroll">
{| class="wikitable sq-xp-comparison"
! Item !! Walking XP !! Extra XP !! Duration
|-
| {{Item link|Double XP Potion}} || 2× || +100% || 30 minutes
|-
| {{Item link|Weak XP Brew}} || 1.2× || +20% || 30 minutes
|-
| {{Item link|Standard XP Brew}} || 1.5× || +50% || 30 minutes
|-
| {{Item link|Potent XP Brew}} || 1.75× || +75% || 30 minutes
|-

|}
</div>
{{Item link|Double XP Potion}} is a separate quest reward from Beastmaster Mia. Grix's recipes produce the four brews.

== Using a brew ==
# Open '''Inventory''' and select the item.
# Choose '''Consume'''. One item is used and the timer starts.

The effect lasts '''30 minutes of real time'''. A new XP potion or brew replaces the active XP potion or brew and starts a fresh 30-minute timer, even if the new item is weaker. Keep your stronger brew active until it expires if you want to avoid losing its remaining time.

The listed multiplier boosts '''walking XP'''. The '''Potion Boost''' pet bonus does not raise this multiplier or extend the duration.
