{{Infobox NPC

}}
'''Nadeen the Sandcook''' is an NPC who operates a cooking stall in [[The Dunes]] (West). She specializes in crafting [[Health Potion+]], the only healing potion that works in the harsh desert environment.

Regular potions and food are useless in The Dunes — heat damage bypasses shields and goes straight to HP. Nadeen's Health Potion+ is essential for any serious Dunes exploration or farming.

== How to craft Health Potion+ ==
Visit Nadeen's stall in [[The Dunes]] (West) with the required ingredients:

{| class="wikitable"
! Ingredient
! Amount
! Source
|-
| [[Cacti]]
| 50
| Harvest in [[The Dunes]] with [[Iron Axe]] + [[Woodcutting]] 20
|-
| [[Health Potion]]
| 1
| Craft or buy from [[The Alchemist]] on [[Mainland]]
|-
| [[Brute Horn]]
| 5
| Kill [[Magma Brute]] in [[Emberstone]] (1 in 5 drop rate)
|}

Once you provide ingredients, Nadeen crafts instantly:

{| class="wikitable"
! Input
! Output
! Time
|-
| 50 Cacti + 1 Health Potion + 5 Brute Horn
| 1 Health Potion+
| ~10 seconds per potion
|}

== Dialogue ==
When you approach Nadeen:

''"Welcome to my stall, traveler. The sun in the Dunes is merciless, and regular potions are worthless here. I brew Health Potion+ — the only remedy that works against the heat. Bring me cacti, a base potion, and brute horns, and I'll craft you relief."''

== Health Potion+ Overview ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Stat
! Value
|-
| Healing amount
| 50 HP per potion
|-
| Stack size
| 10,000
|-
| Crafting cost
| 50 Cacti + 1 Health Potion + 5 Brute Horn
|-
| Crafting time
| ~10 seconds
|-
| In-game effect
| Only potion that works in [[The Dunes]]; negates heat damage
|}

Regular [[Health Potion|Health Potions]], [[Cooked Chicken]], and [[Cooked Fish Meat]] do nothing in the Dunes. [[Shield Potion|Shield Potions]] also fail — the heat bypasses shields.

== Dunes Healing System ==
In [[The Dunes]], only two methods restore HP:

1. **Health Potion+** (Nadeen's craft) — 50 HP per use, stackable, farmable
2. **Cacti** (harvest on-spot) — 20 HP per harvest, free, unlimited supply

Nadeen bridges the gap: her potions let players farm longer without stopping to harvest constantly.

== Crafting Cost Analysis ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Resource
! Farming time
! Notes
|-
| 50 Cacti
| ~5 minutes
| Harvest in Dunes with Iron Axe + Woodcutting 20
|-
| 1 Health Potion
| ~2 minutes
| Buy from Alchemist or craft from ingredients
|-
| 5 Brute Horn
| ~25 minutes
| Farm Magma Brutes (1 in 5 drop rate)
|}

Total farming time: ~30-45 minutes per Health Potion+ (mostly Brute Horn gathering on Emberstone)

== Tips ==
* '''Stock before entering:''' Gather all materials on Mainland/Emberstone, craft a full stack at Nadeen before heading out
* '''Batch crafting:''' Craft 50+ potions at once to minimize return trips
* '''Emergency backup:''' Always carry Cacti for free on-the-spot healing between crafts
* '''Long expeditions:''' A stack of 100 Health Potion+ gives 5,000 HP — enough for several hours in the Dunes
* '''Desert Robe alternative:''' If you can craft [[Desert Robe]] top + bottom, that's passive heat immunity (no potion cost)

== Location ==
Nadeen's stall is located in [[The Dunes]] (West). Entry points:

* South from [[The Pond]] → Dunes West (Nadeen's location)
* South from [[The Shores]] → Dunes East

No level requirement to enter or visit Nadeen.
