A Guide to *EDIBLE* Potion Bases (based on the post by potionslab!)
Ok so there’s this absolutely wonderful post going around by @potionslab about potion bases and their correspondences!! It’s a great post!! A wonderful post!! an excellent post!!!
It has all kinds of potion bases and it’s so informative!! However, some of the bases on the list aren’t consumable, and there are quite a few drinks missing. So I thought I’d add to the list the other consumables.
Note that this is a list of safe, consumable potion bases. If you want some non-consumable bases, read the original wonderful post!
This is all based on the correspondences in the original post, with some of my own correspondences and those I’ve learned from others. And it’s alphabetical because yay OCD.
I really hope this doesn’t make me look like a thief, I just really want a list of purely consumable potion bases, please don’t be angry :c
