Potion decanting
Buy low-dose potions, decant them into full doses, sell the result. No skill requirements at all.
Decanting is arbitrage on dose sizes. A four-dose potion and four one-dose potions contain the same thing, but the market rarely prices them consistently, and the gap is the profit.
There is no skill requirement at all. What you need is capital and the patience to check which dose sizes are currently mispriced, because the answer changes constantly.
The Bandit Camp decanter handles a full inventory in one interaction, which is what makes the clicking manageable at volume.
Running several potion types simultaneously is how this becomes a real rate. On a single potion the buy limit caps you long before the day is over.
What you actually do
- 1Buy potions in the dose sizes that are cheapest per dose.
- 2Decant them into the dose size that sells for most per dose.
- 3Sell the result and repeat.
Getting the most from it
- This is pure arbitrage between dose sizes, and the gaps move constantly. Re-check before every batch.
- No skill requirement whatsoever, which makes it accessible to any account with capital.
- Buy limits across several potion types are what let you scale this beyond a small hourly rate.
