Every attempt succeeds 80% of the time, at any level; the other 20% take the time and pay no XP. XP/s here already counts that: XP × 80% ÷ time, before gear, upgrades, events and speed bonuses. Gear with a success bonus closes the gap, and a +20% bonus makes every attempt succeed.

A failed attempt still uses its herbs and ingredients. With Keith's Steady Hands (total level 750, 2,000 gems) you keep them and only lose the time.

What each potion does

A potion is not a timer — it is a charge counter. Activate one and it buffs only the skill it belongs to, spending one charge per matching action; a potion for a skill you are not training spends nothing. You can hold one active potion per skill, so a woodcutting brew and a thieving tonic run side by side.

When the last charge goes, the game auto-activates a spare of the same potion from your inventory and refills it, so a stack of them chains without you touching anything — it only switches off when you run out. The 10-tier Alchemist's Cache adds +1 maximum charge per tier (up to +10) to every potion, on activation and on each refill: see Permanent Upgrades.

The Brewmaster's Journal (Shop → Permanent, Brewing 30, 300,000 coins or 1,000 gems) adds +1% Brewing XP and +1% charges per Brewing level, up to level 99. The charges above are the base numbers; the Journal raises them on buff potions only. Potions that create items (Crafter's Draught, Sixty-Five Roses, Elemental Infusion, Prospector's Fortune, Witch's Cauldron Brew, Forgemaster's Infusion, Necromancer's Brew) keep the charges listed.

Charges are matching actions, not seconds: 40 charges of a Prayer brew is 40 bones buried, however long you take over them.

Several potions are the difference between a viable grind and a miserable one rather than a small nudge — the Mining brew multiplies how often precious nodes appear, the Thieving tonic is worth a large chunk of stealth on a target you have no mastery on, and the Brewing brew pays for its own ingredients by duplicating what you brew next.
