Gather the Ingredients for Draught of Vananidir

 

     To create the Draught of Vananidir, you need to first craft the Mead Base: Vananidir, which requires specific materials. Here's what you need:

 

     - Dandelion x10: Dandelions are found on the ground in the Meadows biome. They can be picked and will respawn in the same spot after 240 minutes.

 

    

     - Perch x2: Perch are coastal fish found in the waters near the Meadows and Black Forest. You’ll need a fishing rod and basic fishing bait (purchased from Haldor, the trader) to catch them.

 

    

     - Fresh Seaweed x1: This can be purchased from the Bog Witch for 75 coins (for 5 pieces). Her camp can be found in Swamp areas.

 

    

 

Craft the Mead Base: Vananidir

 

     Once you've collected the necessary ingredients, head to your Mead Ketill (cauldron) to begin crafting the base:

 

     1. Interact with your Mead Ketill and select the Mead Base: Vananidir recipe.

 

     2. Add the 10 Dandelions, 2 Perch, and 1 Fresh Seaweed.

 

     3. Craft the Mead Base: Vananidir.

 

 

Fermenting the Mead Base

 

     After crafting the Mead Base: Vananidir, it needs to be placed in a fermenter to create the Draught of Vananidir:

 

     1. Transfer the Mead Base: Vananidir to your fermenter.

 

     2. Let it ferment for 2 in-game days.

 

     3. After fermentation, you will receive 6 Draught of Vananidir.
