725g is the point

The various reagents (Beetle Scuttle, Blessed Thistle, Blue Entoloma, Bugloss, etc.) all have positive and negative effects. If you mix together ones with overlapping positive effects, you get helpful potions. If you mix together ones with overlapping negative effects, you get harmful potions. Kind of like how mixing together hydrogen and oxygen gets you something helpful like water, but mixing together hydrogen and chlorine gets you something much nastier. You wouldn't want to use hydrogen chloride on yourself, but to completely prevent hydrogen chloride from being possible, you would have to get rid of hydrogen and chlorine and there goes water and table salt!

So you have to think of the potion results arising from the reagents, rather than the resulting potions being an end unto themselves.

If you are ever stuck somewhere, type /stuck and it will take you to the nearest wayshrine or entry of the dungeon.
