► Witch's Potion (F2P Quest Guide)

Walkthrough

The place where you start the Witch's Potion quest.

Hetty

Talk to Hetty and tell her you want to know more about the black arts. She will tell you she needs four ingredients. You need to get a rat's tail, burnt meat, an eye of newt, and an onion.

Getting the ingredients

• Rat's tail: Simply find any normal sized rat in Rimmington and kill it.

• Burnt meat: Kill any creature that drops meat (for example one of the cows in Lumbridge farm or one of the rats in Rimmington). Perhaps the closest area is the field just north of Port Sarim which has many cows. (The field is north of the farming shop which has a sheepdog in it.) Then, "burn" the meat. Use a cooking range (for example the one right above Hetty's house) or cook it on a normal fire with logs (you will need a tinderbox and axe to do this). If you have too high a cooking level to burn it, simply use the cooked meat with the fire/range and your meat will always end up being burnt.

• Eye of Newt: You can buy an eye of newt from the Magic shop in Port Sarim or at the Grand Exchange. Any magic shop is labelled with a small Fire rune on your minimap.

• Onion: Either pick one, or farm one. Onions can be found in a field northwest of Rimmington or in the field behind Fred's farmhouse to the north-west of Lumbridge, beside the road leading to the crossroads at Draynor Village.

Suggested Route

Note: You don't have to start the quest to obtain all the ingredients, except for the rat's tail

• Start in Lumbridge, kill a cow and take the meat. Burn the meat in a range or a fire in Lumbridge. It's easy to find a fire here, as many new players will burn logs next to the Woodcutting Tutor as they cut.

• Pick an onion in the Fred the Farmer's garden.

• Take 3 coins out of your bank in Draynor Village.

• Stop in Port Sarim an buy an eye of a newt in the magic shop.

• Go to talk to Hetty and ask to start the quest.

• Walk back outside Hetty's house to kill a rat and take its tail.

• Go talk to Hetty and give her the ingredients.

• She'll put them in her cauldron and tell you to drink from it. Drink from the cauldron to complete the quest. Congratulations, quest complete!

Reward

• 1 Quest point
• 325 Magic experience.

Trivia

• In RuneScape Classic, it is not possible to use cooked meat with a range to burn it, so high Cooking level players have had major troubles in obtaining burnt meat.
• The cauldron is the only one in RuneScape that allows players to drink from it.
• With the introduction of the Grand Exchange, players may buy most of the ingredients that Hetty requires.
