To get the Wacky Wizards paintbrush ingredient in Roblox, you must complete Oz's farming quest at the red barn and balance a giant scale in the sky. The quest requires brewing two separate Giant Potions using the Giant's Ear ingredient: one to enlarge Oz's watered plant, and another to increase your character's weight so you can balance the scale against a giant rabbit. Once the gate unlocks, pick up the paintbrush and drop it into your cauldron to add it permanently to your ingredient table.
Requirements for the Paintbrush Quest
Before heading over to Oz, ensure you have access to your cauldron and the basic Giant's Ear starter ingredient. You will need to brew two Giant Potions during this questline.
| Item / Potion | Recipe | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Giant Potion (First) | 1x Giant's Ear | Poured onto Oz's sprouted plant to grow a massive climbable flower |
| Giant Potion (Second) | 1x Giant's Ear | Consumed by the player to balance the sky scale against the giant rabbit |
| Fly Potion (Optional) | 1x Bird + 1x Robux (or similar) | Allows faster travel back and forth between your cauldron and the barn |
Step-by-Step Guide to Unlock the Paintbrush
The paintbrush quest takes place behind the lake area at the red barn added during the Heaven Update. Follow these steps in order to unlock the ingredient:
- Locate Oz at the Red Barn: Head toward the back of the map near the lake and cross the wooden bridge. Speak to Oz the Wizard, who is dressed in purple outside the red barn.
- Plant the Seed: Oz will say that spring is in the air and hand you a seed. Click on the dirt plot right next to him to plant it.
- Turn on the Sprinkler: Oz will remind you that seeds need water. Click the sprinkler head located near the dirt patch to water the seed until a small sprout appears.
- Enlarge the Flower: Oz will state that he is getting impatient and needs the plant to grow faster. Return to your cauldron, place one Giant's Ear inside, and spawn a Giant Potion. Bring the potion back and pour it onto the small plant. It will instantly grow into a massive beanstalk reaching the cloud platform above.
- Ascend to the Cloud Gate: Climb the leaves of the giant flower or use a flying potion to reach the cloud structure at the top. If you climb manually, reset any active speed potions if you find the parkour jumps difficult. At the top, you will see a golden archway called Oz's Gate, blocked by a scale holding a large rabbit.
- Balance the Scale: Stepping on the scale at normal size will not lower your side. Teleport back to your cauldron, clear the pot, drop in another Giant's Ear, and brew a second Giant Potion.
- Drink the Giant Potion: Consume the Giant Potion to make your character large. Climb or fly back up to the cloud platform, then step directly onto the empty platform of the scale. Your increased weight will balance the scale and open the golden gate.
- Claim and Save the Paintbrush: Walk through the opened gate, collect the paintbrush ingredient, and teleport back to your cauldron. Throw the paintbrush directly into the cauldron so it permanently saves to your workstation table.
Potions Made with the Paintbrush
Once saved to your table, dropping the paintbrush into the cauldron unlocks several coloring and cosmetic potions.
| Potion Name | Ingredients Required | In-Game Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Paintgun Blue Potion | 1x Paintbrush | Equips a paintgun that coats terrain, structures, and NPCs in blue paint |
| Paint Grenade Potion (Blue) | 1x Paintbrush + 1x Dynamite | Throws an explosive blue paint grenade |
| Paintbrush-arms Potion | Paintbrush combinations | Alters your character's arms into paintbrushes |
| Paintgun-purple Potion | Paintbrush combinations | Equips a variant paintgun firing purple paint |
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I fly directly to the cloud platform without growing the flower?
No. Players who attempt to fly directly up to the heaven structure before completing Oz's farming steps will find the area inaccessible or blocked until the giant flower is grown with the first Giant Potion.
Why won't the scale open when I step on it?
The scale requires matching the weight of the large rabbit sitting on the opposite platform. If your character has not consumed a Giant Potion made from a Giant's Ear, your avatar will be too light to trigger the gate mechanism.
What should I do after picking up the paintbrush?
Always teleport immediately back to your cauldron base and drop the paintbrush into the brewing pot. Dropping it into the cauldron registers the item to your save data and places it permanently on your wooden ingredient display table.
