If the pointer is in the red area, the potion will definitely fail – it’s not stable enough. If the pointer is in the green area, the potion will definitely succeed.
If the pointer is in the orange area, the potion “might” succeed – it’s either just stable enough (success), or slightly unstable (fail). It’s too close to call. When the pointer is in the orange area, the overall stability of the concoction can’t be definitively determined.
If a concoction is in the orange area, it “might succeed”. At this point, it’s usually a good idea to add an ingredient that will increase stability. However, players can take a chance that the concoction is stable enough and hit “BREW”.
Note that if a brew attempt fails when the concoction “might succeed”, retrying with the same ingredients will never result in a success. There’s no randomness associated with “might succeed”.

Stability
There is a “water” family of “stabilizer” ingredients. Basic waters can be bought from crafting merchants. Better waters can be found from humanoids, either from general loot or by scavenging them. Better waters add more stability to a concoction. If a player is experimenting with new and difficult ingredients, using better stabilizers will make a brew attempt more likely to succeed.
When a player starts out in Apothecary, a good way to skill up is to make simple potions using one main ingredient, two cloudy waters, and one other ingredient. You can get all these items from crafting merchants.
First off, these capes are the basic kind of cape around RuneScape, the only capes accessible to freeplay. These can be dyed into six different colors:
The capes you see here, are mostly for clans. Wilderness capes range from cape #1-50. When worn in the wilderness, other players who wear the same cape as you cannot be attacked, so if you’re in a clan, no “accidents” will happen. When another player is wearing the same wilderness cape, their dot on your mini-map is blue. You buy these capes in different ranges of wilderness off merchants, say for example, you buy something of merchant 8, all his capes have 8 in them, so he sells cape 8, cape 18, 28, etc.
