In Caves of Qud, there are many quite valuable liquids which, for various reasons, the player may want to have more of but, due to the liquid’s rarity or its difficult of collection, is unable to obtain in the intended method. This page lists a few methods to duplicate preexisting drams of a desired liquid.
Sludge Duplication
This will NOT work with 
neutron flux
Author’s Note: This is still a bit of a work in progress, as I have not actually done this. But, theoretically, it should work.
You will need:
- 500 drams of
primordial soup - 1 dram of the desired liquid
- A few
desalination pellets - Enough power to safely kill a Sludge(favilink error!).
Steps:
- Find an uninhabited, empty map tile with no liquids and, if you are using Domination, a neutral creature within walking distance. The outskirts of the Salt Desert work nicely.
- Pour your desired liquid onto the ground, and then pour 500 drams of primordial soup into the dram of liquid. It should become a 2-liquid
soupy sludge. (Composed of salt and your desired liquid) - Alternatively, you can simply pour the desired liquid into the primordial soup river in the Rainbow Wood. This method is simpler albeit much more dangerous.
- Quickly sprint away from the relatively slow sludge. If you have Domination, you may now run away, dominate the neutral creature, and use it for the next step.
- Kite the sludge around, staying out of melee range so it will be forced to shoot its liquid at you. This can be quite dangerous if you are duplicating a particularly dangerous liquid, but such is the price of infinite liquid. Alternatively, one can stay back and send a (weak) sacrificial companion to fight the sludge.
- Once you are satisfied with the amount of liquid created, kill the soupy sludge.
- Collect the produced liquid from the ground.
- Apply desalination pellets to the salty liquid.
- Enjoy your extra liquid.
Notes:
This method will not work with neutron flux and 
cloning draught; the first because the liquid will explode when poured out of its container, and the latter has the draught replaced with fresh water. However, it does with 
brain brine.
Salt Purification
NOTE: As of May 17, 2019, this method has been patched out of the game. It should still work in version 2.0.176.0 and earlier
This will NOT work with neutron flux
You will need:
- A container capable of holding your desired liquid
- [Desired Volume of Liquid - 1] drams of
salt - One dram of your desired liquid
- One desalination pellet
Steps:
- Pour your salt into the mixing container
- Pour 1 dram of the desired liquid into the mixing container. Select “No” when it asks if you would like to empty the container first.
- Apply a desalination pellet to the mixture.
- Enjoy your extra liquid.
Notes:
As stated above, this method will not work with Neutron Flux, as being mixed with anything causes Neutron Flux to explode.
A fast enough player can theoretically duplicate 
lava with this method, though doing so comes at high risk of destroying the mixing container and pouring Molten Salt all over ones self.
