Goblin potions, also known as Goblin transmogrification potion, are made by using clean toadflax with pharmakos berries for the Land of the Goblins quest. The potion transforms the player into a goblin, though it will wear off if the player wears something that isn't goblin related or if the player attacks something. It requires 37 Herblore to make and yields 85 xp. The potion cannot be made via the Assist System.

$\rightarrow$ + = Grimy Toadflax is cleaned to become Clean Toadflax added with a Vial of water to make Toadflax potion (unf). + = Then add Pharmakos berries to make a 3-dose Goblin potion.

Usefulness

Other than getting inside the Goblin Temple, its only use is to complete the Goblin High Priest miniquest; once that miniquest is completed, with no further uses, and being as using the altar to pray has limited benefit, it may be emptied.

A player changing between goblin and human forms.

Messages

Talking to Make-over Mage during the quest:

You should only drink it in the area you're going to need it, so you don't waste it. It will reverse itself if you are in direct sunlight or if you perform a strenuous activity like fighting. It will also reverse itself if you try to wear anything that goblins don't normally wear.

Drinking the potion in the wrong area:

There is no point in drinking the potion until you are near the entrance to the secret goblin temple.

Drinking the potion while wearing items:

You must unequip all your items before transforming into a goblin.

Drinking the potion:

You drink some goblin transmogrification potion.

Drinking the last dose:

You have finished your goblin transmogrification potion.

Fighting while being a goblin:

You are caught and thrown out of the goblin temple.

Trivia

• When in goblin form you cannot perform the goblin emotes (goblin salute and goblin bow).
• Summoning any of the dead Goblin Priests also reverses the effects of the potion, as they can detect your deception and reverse it with their magic.
• While in this form, you can cast the Cabbage-Port spell with your Explorer's Ring. The cabbage will appear, but your character will not crouch to fit inside the plant.
• To drink the potion, you must first un-equip all items; however, as a goblin you are able to equip something in the ring slot, and not lose the goblin form.
• There have been multiple glitches where players have drunk the transformation potion and have transformed into a goblin outside of the cave. This glitch has since been fixed by Jagex.
• The name "transmogrification" may be a reference to the popular newspaper comic Calvin and Hobbes. The strip features a young boy named Calvin who has a wild imagination, and uses a cardboard box as a prop in his games. He labels the box as a "transmogrifier" and in his mind, it can turn any object into another object. He often uses it to turn himself into a dinosaur.
