Using too much potent dust can get you or your tame unconscious
More Potent Dust Tips
My megalosaurus just absorbed 1 potent dust and she got knocked out instantly. She absorbed only 2 😭
Potent Dust is crafted by accessing a Mortar and Pestle or an Industrial Grinder and crushing 1 × Ancient Amber in your inventory. Crushing 1 × Ancient Amber at a Mortar and Pestle produces 2 x Potent Dust whilst crushing 1 × Ancient Amber at an Industrial Grinder produces 6 x Potent Dust. :)
This also gives a bunch of xp to yourself or the dino you use it on
* There is a common chance you can get 25 of this from the artifact of the immune tribute
* You get 100 exp from absorbing one, and it has a 30 second cooldown until you can use it again
* There is a very low chance (like 1% or something) that if you or your tames absorb one, it will instantly knock you or your tame out.
* You can dye this and then absorb it and it will change your eye color, then begin changing your hair color after a few more potent dust.
* If you use dyed potent dust on a tame, the color of the potent dust will mix with the current colors of your tame.
* You cannot mix colors on one single stack of potent dust (100).
I would recommend using mortar and pestle because industrial grinder is very expensive (3200 metal, 2000 crystal and lots of other things

You use it to dye your tames by dying the dust and putting in your tames inventory and tap “remote use item”. If you’re early game, go to your mortar and pestle. Then tap on your amber and click “crush”, which will give you 2 podent dust per 1 amber. If you’re not so early game you can use an industrial grinder. Basically just do the same thing you do with the mortar and pestle but instead you tap “grind” and it gives you 6 podent dust per 1 amber.
