A potion is given to a player by asking the Apothecary in Varrock for a free sample. The Apothecary will give it roughly half the time, otherwise refusing to do so. Multiple potions can be obtained using the drop trick.
It is revealed during the conversations in Sophanem that the potion is an acne potion used to relieve itching.
Uses[edit | edit source]
This potion has only a few uses:
- It is a possible item requirement for the Forgettable Tale of a Drunken Dwarf quest.
- It can be used on the civilians of Sophanem who are covered in spots, which results in various amusing conversations. Citizens with different dialogues are as follows: Priests, Slaves, the Embalmer, Siamun and Raetul (shared with Carpenter). Using it on the plague frogs will not result in anything happening.
