Experience and brew output

Each new potion or dish pays 3,155 bonus XP. Water Breathing and Levitation are exceptions: they never pay that bonus and always make just one potion. Changing a dish's northern herb for its southern version does not create another bonus.

Rank	Ordinary potions per brew	With Brewer	Base Potent chance
0–49	2	Not available	0%
50–74	2	3	0%
75–99	2	3	10%
100	3	3	20%

Each brew uses one of every listed ingredient, regardless of output count.

Recipe tier	Base brewing XP
1	20
2	40
3	60
4	80
5	100
6	120
7	140

Brewing XP falls to a quarter when the recipe is more than two tiers below the best tier your rank opens. Extra bottles and Potent results do not add XP.

Cooking XP follows your current Provisioning rank, so starter dishes remain useful. Clean cooking adds 50% XP; Cook’s extra serving adds none. Each guild Apothecary tier adds 50% of base cooking XP.

At rank 70:

Result	Apothecary tiers	Cooking XP
Ordinary	0	120
Clean	0	180
Clean	2	300

Dish	Pans
Normal dish	3
Feast	5

Before attribute modifiers:

Cooking timing rule	Value
Baseline heat cycle	3 s
Per-pan cycle multiplier	0.85–1.2×
Done window begins	60% heat
Done window width	12% of the heat scale
Rank bonus at 100	Up to 50% wider window
Carrying a Skillet	50% wider window

Source	Potent chance increase
Each unbruised herb	+5 percentage points
Distiller	+10 percentage points
Each guild Apothecary tier	+10 percentage points

Potent chance is capped at 100%. Below rank 75, a Distiller using two unbruised herbs has a 20% chance before guild bonuses. The whole brew shares one roll. Cure Disease and Cure Poison cannot be Potent.
