Crafting the Pot of Tea (Clay)
To create a Pot of tea (clay), follow these steps:
- Make sure you have at least one piece of clay in your inventory.
- Find a pottery wheel. These are commonly located in guilds and pottery shops.
- Use the clay on the pottery wheel to craft a ‘clay pot.’
- Next, you will need a kettle and some tea leaves.
- Fill the clay pot with water and heat it using the kettle.
- Add the tea leaves to the hot water to create the pot of tea.
This process requires a minimum cooking level of 1 and will grant you experience points in the cooking skill.
