Using Brie Alchemy Potion and Greater Brie Alchemy Potion convert either Cheddar, Marble, or Swiss into Brie cheese. Brie cheese is recommended when hunting at the Training Grounds and the Dojo because of the higher Attraction Rate it provides. Moreover, Brie cheese can be converted into Radioactive Blue cheese through the use of Radioactive Blue Cheese Curd Potions.

Conversion Charts

The particular potion and the type of cheese used in the conversion determine the amount of Brie cheese generated and the gold required (if any) per piece as listed in the tables below. Using a Brie Alchemy Potion for example, a hunter will be able to convert 20 Swiss at 50 gold each into 20 Brie cheese for a total cost of 1,000. Alternatively, he can convert 10 Cheddar at 150 gold each into 10 Brie cheese for a total cost of 1,500.

Suggested Strategies

Cheddar, Marble, or Swiss

Since the cheese used in the conversion process can all be bought, the only factor in which cheese to use for conversion should be the the total profit calculated based on value of converted Brie minus the vendor cost of the cheese used. For converting Brie Alchemy Potions, the best choice is using Swiss. For Greater Brie Alchemy Potions, the best choice is using Marble.

How many to convert

For players who choose to convert their cheese into Brie cheese, a suggested strategy is not converting your potions all at once.
  1. Converting all potions at once requires more gold upfront. Converting just when the Brie is necessary allows a hunter to minimize unnecessary costs.
  2. Converting only when a hunter obtains Swiss as loot is also considered a good strategy as it does not require the hunter to make additional purchases just for the sake of converting into Brie.
