Where to buy Mending Ointment and its recipe
Anca can sell standard and Minor Mending Ointment, along with Recipe for Mending Ointment. Buy a ready-made dose for immediate supplies, or the standard recipe to craft with Linseed Oil and Comfrey.
After Between the Words, wait at least a day for Anca to return, then look for her at the Old Inn in St. Tyna’s Grove. This is also where you meet her for Where Old Devils Lie.
With Bewitching Influence III, Anca’s special offers can include Potent Mending Ointment. Check her current selection for the stronger dose; the perk opens special offers rather than making every eligible item appear at once.
Immediate healing in human form
All three Mending Ointment strengths restore health immediately while Coen is human. Minor restores a small amount, standard a moderate amount and Potent a large amount. Choose Regenerative Salve when you want healing spread over time.
For vampire-form recovery, prepare blood restoratives or feeding options before night combat. The vampire-healing guide compares those alternatives.
Compare recipes and prepare several crafts
The standard recipe uses 1 Linseed Oil and 2 Comfrey per craft. For three crafts, set aside 3 Linseed Oil and 6 Comfrey. Each strength has its own recipe: the Minor and Potent versions use different ingredients rather than consuming a lower-strength ointment.
Linseed Oil is also used in standard Regenerative Salve. To prepare two crafts of each healing item, collect 4 Linseed Oil, 4 Comfrey, 4 Common Yarrow and 4 Yellow Sweet Clover.
| Version | Healing amount | Recovery | Ingredients per craft |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minor | Small | Immediate | 1 Canteen of Water; 2 Ribwort Plantain |
| Standard | Moderate | Immediate | 1 Linseed Oil; 2 Comfrey |
| Potent | Large | Immediate | 1 Weak Spirits; 2 Tansy |
Where to find Mending Ointment
Shop selections change with story progress, loot varies by encounter and level, and carried equipment is separate from what an enemy may drop.
