Tips
- Buy the Expert book, Heavy Silk and Mageweave manuals in one trip. They cost 1g 72s together, from the same seller.
- Keep Small, Large, Swollen and Huge Venom Sacs. Each anti-venom rank uses a different one.
- Strong Anti-Venom is the one manual with a long drop list, so watch for it while levelling through Duskwood and Wetlands.
- Spare manuals and healing potions can sell on the auction house. See healing potions and crafting for gold.
