Anti-Sting Concoction

Overview

Anti-Sting Concoction is a very helpful potion if you’re looking to explore the Plains biome. It lasts for 10 minutes during which the very annoying Deatshquitos will stop attacking you. You’ll need to put in some work if you want to brew it. First, you’ll need to discover the Bog Witch and purchase the Fragrant Bundle ingredient from her. And then, you’ll need to do some fishing in the Plains biome to catch some Groupers.

Once you have everything you need, you put it all in a Mead Ketill to craft a Mead Base: Anti-Sting. Then you place this Mead Base inside a free Fermenter and wait 2 in-game days. This will get you 6 doses of the Anti-Sting Concoction.

You can assign the Concoction to your hotbar, but since there’s limited room on there and it lasts for 10 minutes, you might as well just right-click it from within your inventory screen.

Recipe

The full recipe to create one unit of Mead Base: Anti-Sting is:

• Cloudberries x10
• Grouper x3
• Fragrant Bundle

Ingredients

The resources you’ll need to brew Anti-Sting Concoctions are varied, but you’ll be able to find them all once you have made some progress in the Plains biome:

• Cloudberries are easy to find in the Plains – just look for yellowish berry bushes.
• Grouper is a kind of white-and-red fish that spawns close to the shore in the Plains biome. You will want to use the Stingy Fishing Bait (combine Fishing Bait with a Fuling trophy at a Food Preparation Table) to catch it.
• Fragrant Bundle has to be purchased from the Bog Witch trader in the Swamp. A single purchase of 5 Fragrant Bundles is priced at 140 Coins.

Helpful Tips

• Despite its name, Anti-Sting Concoction only works on Deathsquitos. It won’t protect you from other annoying bugs like the Ticks you find in the Mistlands biome.
• A single 5-stack of Fragrant Bundle from the Bog Witch will let you brew a total of 30 Anti-Sting Concoctions.
