** An alternative is to have 2 [[pottery flask]]s, one empty and one with 1 [[garlic]]. Filling the empty one first then transferring it to the 2nd leaves an almost zero quantity to the first. Depending on what seed has the smallest volume it could be even less. This method used with a garlic results in ~0,001kg of lye.

** To get the best ratio to create lye put 3 garlic and 4 barley in a pottery flask then drag the 2.00 water from a pottery jar to the flask to leave 1.90 water in the pottery jar.

  • Quality of the lye is capped by the quality of the ash used and affected by your skill in Natural substances.
  • When using combined pieces of ash of more than 0.10kg the water to ash ratio should be 10:1. This means 1.00kg of water for every 0.10kg of ash to create 1.00kg of lye for each kg of water. Using less water will result in 1.00kg of lye only. Using more water will make the lye useless because the excess water will prevent the lye from fitting into the container.
