'''Reagent Preparation Stations''' are a type of Alchemist [[skill node]] found in the [[Apothecary]]. It is used to create [[Preparations]] from [[Reagents]].

Each potion (with the exception of the 10% potion healing) uses two reagents. These are taken to a Reagent Preparation Station where they are combined into a [[Preparation]], ready to be made into a potion. Reagents may be stored in the [[Potion Reagents Bank]] but preparations cannot be banked anywhere. Each preparation takes 5.0 seconds to make, and awards Alchemist XP and 0.5% [[knowledge]].  

Each reagent can only be used to make one type of preparation, so reagents do not need to be saved up to make better potions later. The sole exception to this is [[Brown Kelp]], which is used to make both the [[10% Potion Healing]] and the [[20% Potion Healing]], with the latter also requiring [[Creamy Wallplant]]. To avoid accidentally making a 10% potion when intending to make a 20% potion, players should select the wallplant from the preparation station interface.

Reagent Preparation Stations may also be used to perform [[Ebsworth Work]], a type of passive activity for the Alchemist profession. Ebsworth work may be performed by using the 'passive' option on the station.
