All Potions in SpellForce: Conquest of Eo

Potions can dramatically enhance your army in SpellForce: Conquest of Eo.

Making potions in SpellForce: Conquest of Eo becomes a huge part of the game once you advance past your initial two hours of gameplay. You can use essences or “pips” from the following attributes:

Recommended Videos
  • Elemental (E)
  • Death (D)
  • Life (L)
  • Arcane (A)

An E, D, L, or A will represent a group of three. For example, A refers to 3 Arcane Essences. As you gather components and elements, it’s important to remember that your essences must be used in groups of three.

With this formula, L + A + E would mean 3 Life, 3 Arcane, and 3 Elemental. an E+E+E or 3E would indicate 9 Elemental essences. There’s been a lot of confusion over how to read the commonly circulated formula tables, so if you’re not great at math (hi, that’s me), hopefully this helps.

How to Use this Guide

All potions on the below list produce one quantity of the item or effect unless otherwise specified. If an effect has been previously specified, the effect is not listed twice. (Use Control + F on your PC to find the first instance of use.)
