Notes
- Constitutes the foundation of most draughts. If you are a brewer, then you need to keep some in stock at all times. Source it from local harvesters if possible; it is less likely to have been adulterated if you get it from your native area. -Miqo
- You can make your own requarium, but you need a cultivated garden of Dreaming blossoms in an area with frequent rainfall. Requarium forms when rainfall collects in the blosssoms, and is left to sit overnight. It must be collected during dawn, as too much exposure to daylight will break down the requarium into normal water once more. Once it has been bottled and left to steep in a dark place for a year, it can be brought into daylight without destroying its properties. -Solebarr
- Sole forgot to point out that you must also be able to access the Dreaming. Requarium cannot be created in the Waking, even if the flowers are able to grow there under the right conditions. -Miqo
- The strongest requarium forms in specific conditions - you must have an evening rain, then a moonlit night with low or no cloud cover. Maximum strength is attained during full and crescent phase. Harvest the nectar when the sky is lightening, but before the sun has risen, for best results. -Solebarr
