How to obtain
Crafted by alchemists from herbs and reagents. Before AQ40 progression, stock stacks for the whole raid — nature potion usage is especially high there due to long poison phases.

Who needs it and where
The whole raid wants it in AQ40: Princess Huhuran (main nature damage), Viscidus, poison silithids. Rare outside AQ40, so keep a dedicated stack.
How it compares
Vs fire: fire protection potion (MC/BWL). Vs frost: frost protection potion (Naxxramas).
