Brewing
First Steps
To begin, you should speak to the Brewing Master NPC located in your capital city. At these NPCs you can:
- Buy recipe books which are used to unlock even more unique teas
- Buy brewing stands and empty tea cups
- Sell any tea items that you have created for a nice profit
You can use our inner-city navigation system (/nav) to find the Brewing Master NPCs, but here are their coordinates if you're still having trouble locating them:
- Fire Nation Capital: 3121, 128, 9585
- Ba Sing Se: 19881, 39, 5490
- Gaipan: 15532, 36, 8717

- Southern Air Temple: 10840, 143, 14993
Brewing Minigame
To access the brewing interface you simply need to right-click on a brewing stand. These can be crafted or bought at the brewing master NPCs.
Within this interface, you can see the steps that will need to be performed within the brewing minigame. By right-clicking you can also see the resulting item’s stat effects, as well as your proficiency level in it.
Follow the instructions displayed when hovering over the book in the botttom to complete the brewing.
Before you start brewing a tea, make sure that you have gathered all of the ingredients that are necessary to complete the recipe. You can gather ingredients by trading with other players, buying them from vendors, or growing them yourself through the farming profession.
You will also need empty tea cups which can be crafted or bought from vendors. When you are ready to begin a brew, simply click on the recipe in the menu that you wish to create.
The most important part of the brewing minigame is knowing what steps to take. You can find out your current step (as well as several others) by hovering over the book located on the bottom row of the minigame.
When performing a step, you will need to make sure that the heat of the brew is at the correct value. You are able to adjust the heat by using the up and down arrows near the middle of the interface.
To add ingredients, simply click on them in the top-most row of the interface. In order to stir a brew, you must click on the shovel item on the left-hand side.
The clock located on the right side of the minigame represents the time you have before you fail the brew. You can also see the current quality you will produce, which is represented by a gold, silver, or bronze star on the bottom row.
Now that you’ve made your very own tea, you can either choose to sell it for a profit or hold onto it and benefit from the powerful stat bonuses that it may provide.
HINT: Using higher quality ingredients will increase the timer by several seconds. This can be crucial to successfully brewing many high-tier teas.
Item Proficiency
Every brewing recipe has its own individual “proficiency level”. As you increase this level, the duration of the timer will increase as well, making it much easier to brew the higher quality results of your recipes.
Proficiency levels 5 & 10 are important milestones as they increase the quantity that you produce by +1.
Crafting Recipes
You're able to craft both tea cups and portable brewing stands to be used in the brewing profession:
