The magical realm opened its doors to sorcerers and sorceresses worldwide with the launch of Hogwarts Legacy.
During your magical quest, potions will become your trusted companions. Whether it’s the healing properties of Wiggenweld Potions or the spell-enhancing effects of Maxima Potions, these magical brews prove invaluable to every spell wielder. While merchants in cities and wandering traders offer these potions for sale, learning to brew your own could help preserve your precious galleons.
Creating potions requires various botanical elements and ingredients that can be bought, foraged from nature, or cultivated and collected. Among these components is the Fluxweed Stem, an essential ingredient for brewing Focus Potions. Fortunately, Fluxweed cultivation is a straightforward process.
Here’s your guide to cultivating Fluxweed in Hogwarts Legacy.
How to get Fluxweed seeds and grow Fluxweed in Hogwarts Legacy
To begin growing Fluxweed in a Large Pot, you must first gain access to the Room of Requirement and master the Conjuring spell. Once these prerequisites are met, you’ll need to venture into Hogsmeade for supplies.
The Magic Neep, situated in the northeastern part of the village, sells Fluxweed Seeds for 300 Galleons. You’ll also need to acquire a Spellcraft for a Potting Table with a Large Pot to plant these seeds. Visit Thomas Brown at Tomes and Scrolls, located at the southern end of Hogsmeade, where this Spellcraft costs 1,000 Galleons.
After acquiring your supplies, return to the Room of Requirement at Hogwarts and use the Conjuring spell to create a Potting Table with a Large Pot. Then, simply select the Fluxweed option.
The plant requires 15 minutes to mature before harvesting, yielding five Fluxweeds. To increase your yield, consider using Fertilizer, available at the Magic Neep for 300 Galleons. Once the growing period concludes, simply interact with the Potting Table to automatically collect all your Fluxweed Stem.
With this knowledge of Fluxweed farming in Hogwarts Legacy, you’re ready to start your botanical adventure!
What are Fluxweed Stems used for in Hogwarts Legacy?
Throughout your magical journey, Fluxweed Stems play crucial roles in various quests. Aspiring witches and wizards must provide Fluxweed to complete two significant academic assignments: Sharp’s Assignment 1 and Professor Garlick’s Assignment 2.
For Professor Sharp’s Assignment 1, students must concoct a Focus Potion, a powerful brew that effectively decreases spell cooldown times. The brewing process is relatively quick, taking approximately one minute to complete. The recipe calls for three Lacewing Flies, one Fluxweed Stem, and one Dugbog Tongue. As part of Sharp’s Assignment 1, you’ll need to produce your own Fluxweed Stem, which can be accomplished using the cultivation method described above.
The Focus Potion proves particularly valuable beyond the assignment’s scope, especially for players pursuing darker storylines. Its ability to reduce spell casting intervals makes it exceptionally useful when wielding Unforgivable Curses, allowing for more rapid spell succession than normally possible.
Additionally, Fluxweed Stems serve as a key ingredient in the exclusive Felix Felicis Potion, which reveals the locations of substantial treasure chests. While this potion’s effects last for an entire in-game day, it’s exclusively available to players who pre-ordered the game, with no alternative means of obtaining the recipe. The brewing process requires just 1 Lacewing Fly and 1 Fluxweed Stem. Many players consider it unfortunate that this valuable potion, which greatly assists in thoroughly exploring each sub-area, remains restricted to pre-order customers only.
