“Example quoted text.
— Basics of Alchemy "... and layman often confuse Mycology and Alchemy because they both use mushrooms. But here's the rule of thumb: if it's JUST mushrooms, it's Mycology. If it involves combining lots of things into a potion, it's Alchemy. As always there are exceptions, but the rule is at least 51% accurate... This book focuses on Alchemy. Mycology is a lesser art, unbecoming of a true mage."
Alchemy Overview
Alchemy is a crafting skill that is easy to learn, difficult to master. Mycology is tangentially related, but many Alchemists refuse to accept it as such. Alchemists often mix potions, lotions, ointments, and oils. Some Alchemists have been known to use their skills to create poisoned weapons, or specific potions to resist the elements.
In-Game Description
The art of combining esoteric things together to make potions and poisons.
Training Alchemy
The Alchemy skill is learned by doing anything to gain experience in Alchemy. Unlike some other skills, you do not need to first learn the skill in order to gain experience in Alchemy. There are several ways to first gain XP in Alchemy:
- Learn level 0 Alchemy recipes, and use them.
- The book Basics of Alchemy, which can be found in Elmetaph's bookcase in the lighthouse on Anagoge Island, teaches two level 0 Alchemy recipes. (Basics of Alchemy can also be found on the first level of the Anagoge Records Facility on Anagoge Island.)
- The book Alchemy: So You Want To Be An Alchemist is sold by Yetta in Eltibule Keep and contains a level 0 Alchemy recipe.
- The book Alchemy: Safe Brain Boosts For Beginners is a random drop from various mobs, and contains a level 0 Alchemy recipe. It can often be found on the Buy Used tab at vendors such as Hulon, Velkort or Fainor.
- Marna will teach , a level 0 Alchemy recipe, if you gain favor with her.
- Therese will teach Recipe: Bone Meal (From Any Bone) and Recipe: Bone Meal (From Humanoid Skull) (both level 0 Alchemy recipes) if you gain favor with her.
Once a level 0 recipe is learned, use that recipe to gain Alchemy XP and the Alchemy skill. Repeat the recipe, and/or use additional recipes to gain more experience (first use of any recipe gives an XP bonus), and increase your skill level. As your skill level increases, greater experience gains may be achieved by continuing to learn additional recipes from various books (see below).
- Earn Alchemy experience by doing favors
- Marna will give Alchemy XP if you complete Lapis Lazuli for Marna.
- Earn Alchemy experience by doing hang-outs
- Rita will give Alchemy XP if you complete Help Rita Make Soap.
