As an avid Hogwarts Legacy player and Slytherin purveyor of rare magical items, I have mastered the art of cultivating fluxweed over the years. Take it from me – a steady supply of fluxweed stems is essential for crafting vital potions and completing certain assignments as you progress through your first year at Hogwarts.
An Introduction to Fluxweed
Here‘s a quick overview of what exactly fluxweed is and why it‘s an important crop for any young witch or wizard:
| Type | Magical Plant |
|---|---|
| Appearance | Green stems with yellow flowers |
| Key Uses | Potions, Herbology Assignments |
| Key Traits | Fast Growth, Renewable |
Based on my experience, here are the top reasons you‘ll want access to a heap of fluxweed stems:
- Complete Professor Garlick‘s second herbology assignment
- Craft Focus Potions to reduce spell cooldown
- Brew Felix Felicis (Liquid Luck) for adventure buffs
So let‘s dive into the various methods for getting fluxweed without depleting your coin purse, shall we?
Buying Fluxweed Stems
The most convenient way to get fluxweed is to simply purchase pre-harvested stems from vendors:
Where To Buy: Magic Neep Shop
- Location: Hogsmeade, west side of bridge
- Vendor: Timothy Teasdale
- Cost: 150 Galleons per stem
However, this route can get extraordinarily expensive if you require fluxweed stems in bulk.
As a fellow entrepreneur, I never buy an ingredient if I can grow it myself!
Growing Your Own Fluxweed
You can save mountains of Galleons by buying seeds and cultivating your own fluxweed.
Here are the steps:
What You‘ll Need
- Fluxweed Seeds (350 Galleons from Magic Neep‘s)
- Access to Potting Table
- Large Planter Pot
- Wait time: 15 minutes per plant
Where To Grow
The Room of Requirement contains pots and a gardening table perfect for this. You just need to complete the "Tomes and Tribulations" quest first to gain entry.
Once inside, add fluxweed seeds to a large pot, wait 15 minutes, and harvest 5 freshly grown fluxweed stems.
If you invest upfront in some high quality dragon dung fertilizer, you can double the yield to 10 stems per seed. Now that‘s a profitable enterprise!
Fluxweed Stem Uses In Potions
Fluxweed stems serve as a fundamental ingredient for two very useful potions. Here‘s what you can craft:
Focus Potion
- 1 Fluxweed Stem
- 1 Dragon Heartstring
- 1 Standard Base
Reduces spell cooldown period. Useful during intense duels!
Felix Felicis (Liquid Luck)
- 1 Fluxweed Stem
- 1 Dragon Heartstring
- 3 Leech Juices
- 5 Shrivelfigs
- 1 Standard Base
Grants damage buffs and boosts critical hit chance – perfect for tough boss fights!

So with a large batch of fluxweed stems on hand, you‘ll be able to brew up these potions anytime you need a combat edge.
Selling Surplus Stems
As part of your fluxweed farming routine, you‘re bound to produce surplus stems beyond your crafting needs.
Instead of letting that profit potential wilter away, harvest and sell any excess stems! Vendors will gladly take them off your hands:
- The Magic Neep Shop
- J. Pippin‘s Potions
- Cerdic‘s Herbology Supplies
With the galleons earned, you can invest in more seeds and fertilizers – thus fueling your fluxweed empire!
Advanced Fluxweed Farming Strategy
Once you perfect the fluxweed farming process, I recommend establishing an efficient route throughout Hogwarts and Hogsmeade:
Gear Needed
- Flying Mount (Broom, Hippogriff, Thestral, etc)
- Flight Punch Card (fast travel access)
The Route
- Buy fluxweed seeds from Magic Neep‘s Shop in Hogsmeade
- Fast travel to Room of Requirement at Hogwarts
- Plant seeds & harvest stems after 15 minutes
- Travel back to Hogsmeade, sell surplus stems
- Repeat as desired!
With an unincumbered flying mount and fast travel, you can cut down significantly on travel time.
Optimizing this route lets you generate a reliable, self-sustaining income stream from fluxweed with minimal effort. Now that‘s entrepreneurship!
Final Tips for Fluxweed Mastery
Here are a few final tips from my personal exploits as a fluxweed farmer extraordinaire:
- Use Engorgio to expand the yields of each harvest
- Once available, equip gear with the Gardening harvesting buff
- Rotate planting locations to maximize growth cycles
- Always have spare seeds, pots, fertilizers on hand!
Conclusion
I hope this guide has illuminated everything you need to know about acquiring fluxweed stems in Hogwarts Legacy – to aid both your scholarly exploits and entrepreneurial endeavors.
The supply of magical plants at Hogwarts is bountiful if you just take the time to sow the seeds and reap the rewards.
Now get to gardening, my young herbologist! That Felix Felicis isn‘t going to brew itself. Your first official wand-duel awaits!
