Why It’s the Best Potion
By following the Fox Potion recipe with perfect timing carefully turning the Hourglass and stopping the simmering at the right moments you can brew a stronger version called Henry’s Fox Potion. This enhanced potion boosts Experience gained by 50%, reading speed by 80%, and increases Charisma and Speech by +7 for two in-game days. The experience bonus also applies to both Book Reading and Trainer rewards.
To get the most out of your reading sessions, it’s best to master potion crafting and brew at least the Strong Fox Potion beforehand, maximizing Scholarship experience. Plus, the reading speed bonus stacks with buffs from sitting in Henry’s bed and wearing Leminger’s Spectacles or Regular Spectacles—pushing reading speed to 150%. This lets you finish a full book in two hours, saving valuable time, food, and energy.
