Guide to Stats

2025-09-18T03:28:01Z

Mario:

Due to popular demand, this page/guide will help people understand how stats work, what virtues you can pick, what special traits exist and what they do, and so on.

== Stats ==
Stats are rolled at the start of the round. They cannot be modified in any way permanently (unless an admin decides to have fun with you), though, they can be raised with stat-boosting pots.

=== Strength ===
Represented as <code>STR</code>, strength is most relevant for melee combat.

* Influences the damage of your punches.

Guide to Alchemy

2025-09-14T01:33:35Z

Mario: grammatical error

= Alchemy (Post 2.0 launch) =

After the 2.0 launch of Ratwood, alchemy has been changed and adapted to the AP(Azure Peak) base.

To perform Alchemy, you should have preferably level 2+ to make potions of lesser strength (not the Strong variations), whilst classes like the Witch (towner subclass) and generally other magicians (like Mago's Apprentices and or the Court Magos themself) start with higher alchemy levels on spawn, for example, the Witch starts with Level 4(expert) Alchemy.

The recipes for Alchemy are not '''SET'''. They work on a point-like system. Alchemists with some experience in the skill can examine alchemy ingredients and receive the smells of the ingredient - receiving 3 scents. Those 3 scents determine the points given towards a recipe. For example, if an ingredient smells 'strongly of clean air', then they will give 3 points towards Speed potions. Alchemists with the '''LEGENDARY''' status will automatically determine what the ingredients are used for instead.

Example of examining an euphrasia with lower than level 6(legendary) alchemy:
[[File:Euphrasia non legendary.png|left|thumb|213x213px|Euphrasia examine without Legendary Alchemy]]

== Alchemy - Potions ==
To begin working on Potions with Alchemy, you must first have a Cauldron. To create one, you simply need one iron bar. It only requires Novice (level 1) skill to create.

Then, the gameplay loop for potion making begins. First, you will need ingredients. Potions require two to create, a primary and secondary one.

The best place to harvest a good lot of primary ingredients - being flowers mainly - are in the southern area of the map, however, be careful as the bog is dangerous. You should consistently sneak to avoid triggering ambushes, however with some good kiting, even a witch with just magic missile can handle most ambushes using zad form for quick escaping.

[[File:Patch of flowers.png|left|thumb|429x429px|A small patch of flowers growing in the southern area of the map.]]

Next, you'd need secondary ingredients. Those are harder to achieve, but some are easy to attain, like viscera and sinew whilst others are a lot more difficult to obtain, like Gold Dust or Magic Dust. Some of those require some exotic ingredients that are harder to come by.

To create a potion, you must accumulate a total of FIVE points towards that potion by putting two ingredients inside the cauldron.

Getting the ingredients wrong will result in the brew not being able to be made. Also having too low of an alchemy skill will result in the same thing since you're 'not skilled enough to make such potion.' Whilst the Alchemy Manual is mostly WRONG, you can still get a few ideas on how to make things, and how difficult they are to make.

== '''''<big>A complete list of ingredients that can be found in Rotwood Vale, what they're used for exactly, and how to obtain them.</big>''''' ==

=== Flowers ===
All flowers are generally found in the wilderness, and sometimes as static spawns in town - unless specified otherwise.

=== The Cheat Sheet ===
Too lazy to calculate things? Feeling uneasy as to what ingredients you need EXACTLY? Fret not, for I have the the holy cheat sheet for you to dig your lazy paws into!

{| class="wikitable"
|+
!product
!ingredients (best possible ingredients - as in cheapest/easiest)
!special note
!difficulty to make
|-
|Strong Red
|calendula + viscera
|You shouldn't have any issues making this ever.
|Baby-Witch easy
|-
|Strong Green(stamina)
|alchemical ozium + benedictus
|Mortar poppies which you can get from the stockpile for 3m each for ozium, mortar the ozium for alchemical ozium
|Baby-Witch easy
|-
|Strong Blue (mana)
|1 hypericum + 1 purified salt + 1 berry powder + 1 water essentia
|Arguably the easiest possible combination to get strong blue. The ingredients are all accessible. Mortar salt to get purified salt, regular berry to get berry powder, and 1 fish to get water essentia.
|Medium-Hard
|-
|Doom Poison
|mineral dusts + atropa
|Absolutely no alternatives, a very expensive recipe requiring you to crush a gem for it. Expensive as in, if you were to straight up buy a gem from the silverface at the merchant's. You can totally work with a miner to get a toper easily. If you do, then this is absurdly easy to achieve, even early on in the round.
|Easy to Bleak depending on if there's a miner present
|-
|Strength Potion
|fire essentia + salvia
|Yet another very useful potion that you could sell to knights or bandits for a high mark up, which for the effort put into it, is honestly laughable. You can easily get fire dust by going to Mount Decap (NW of map), getting some fyritius flowers from the odd flower patches, then just going into town and then grab some salvia literally at the steward's place.
|Baby-Witch easy
|-
|Perception Potion
|mentha + tobacco dust (westleech dust)
|Yet another very useful potion that you could sell to wardens or archers for a high mark up. Even easier than the strength potion with the caveat that it's slightly harder to find metha in the wild. Westleech you can easily find brutally easy around in the south bog with static spawns about literally anywhere.
|Baby-Witch easy
|-
|Intelligence Potion
|water essentia + mentha
|If you make this for the court magos, expect to get paid a good handful of gold coins. Brutally easy to make, just ask a fisherman or someone who could fish (or just do it yourself) to get you a fish, grind it into water essentia, then dump it into the pot with some mentha. The reason why this will not be easy is because you need to spend a tiny bit of time fishing and that could slow down the pace of your potion factory.
|Medium
|-
|Constitution Potion
|earth essentia + salvia
|Easily attained by just grinding a few seeds or something coupled with salvia. And not even seeds, some other mortar recipes result in earth essentia, too!
|Baby-Witch easy
|-
|Endurance Potion
|iron dust + calendula
|A bit of a higher requirement, needing you to grind some iron ore to get, with a chance to get a bonus iron dust too, this is considerably a tiny bit harder to achieve due to the fact you need to get an iron ore. But with a miner present? This is trivial. If not, just buy it from the stockpile.
|Baby-Witch easy to medium
|-
|Speed Potion
|air essentia + euphrasia
|Yet another very useful potion that you could sell to about anyone - especially rogues - for a decent mark up. To get air essentia very easily, all you have to do is just grind poppies for ozium, and you will likely get some as a bonus product. The reason it's not easier than easy, is because you can get unlucky and just get none.
|Easy
|-
|Fortune Potion
|artemisia + alchemical ozium
|A very useful potion you could sell - or straight up give for free in exchange for those sweet stones - to your miner friend so they can find even better ores more easily. Just like strong green, just grind poppies from the stockpile.
|Baby-Witch easy
|-
|Emberwine
|sinew + euphrasia
|yeah we both know why you want to do this.
|Baby-Witch easy

Guide to Alchemy

2025-09-13T14:28:20Z

Mario: better strong blue recipe

= Alchemy (Post 2.0 launch) =

After the 2.0 launch of Ratwood, alchemy has been changed and adapted to the AP(Azure Peak) base.

To perform Alchemy, you should have preferably level 2+ to make potions of lesser strength (not the Strong variations), whilst classes like the Witch (towner subclass) and generally other magicians (like Mago's Apprentices and or the Court Magos themself) start with higher alchemy levels on spawn, for example, the Witch starts with Level 4(expert) Alchemy.

The recipes for Alchemy are not '''SET'''. They work on a point-like system. Alchemists with some experience in the skill can examine alchemy ingredients and receive the smells of the ingredient - receiving 3 scents. Those 3 scents determine the points given towards a recipe. For example, if an ingredient smells 'strongly of clean air', then they will give 3 points towards Speed potions. Alchemists with the '''LEGENDARY''' status will automatically determine what the ingredients are used for instead.

Example of examining an euphrasia with lower than level 6(legendary) alchemy:
[[File:Euphrasia non legendary.png|left|thumb|213x213px|Euphrasia examine without Legendary Alchemy]]

== Alchemy - Potions ==
To begin working on Potions with Alchemy, you must first have a Cauldron. To create one, you simply need one iron bar. It only requires Novice (level 1) skill to create.

Then, the gameplay loop for potion making begins. First, you will need ingredients. Potions require two to create, a primary and secondary one.

The best place to harvest a good lot of primary ingredients - being flowers mainly - are in the southern area of the map, however, be careful as the bog is dangerous. You should consistently sneak to avoid triggering ambushes, however with some good kiting, even a witch with just magic missile can handle most ambushes using zad form for quick escaping.

[[File:Patch of flowers.png|left|thumb|429x429px|A small patch of flowers growing in the southern area of the map.]]

Next, you'd need secondary ingredients. Those are harder to achieve, but some are easy to attain, like viscera and sinew whilst others are a lot more difficult to obtain, like Gold Dust or Magic Dust. Some of those require some exotic ingredients that are harder to come by.

To create a potion, you must accumulate a total of FIVE points towards that potion by putting two ingredients inside the cauldron.

Getting the ingredients wrong will result in the brew not being able to be made. Also having too low of an alchemy skill will result in the same thing since you're 'not skilled enough to make such potion.' Whilst the Alchemy Manual is mostly WRONG, you can still get a few ideas on how to make things, and how difficult they are to make.

== '''''<big>A complete list of ingredients that can be found in Rotwood Vale, what they're used for exactly, and how to obtain them.</big>''''' ==

=== Flowers ===
All flowers are generally found in the wilderness, and sometimes as static spawns in town - unless specified otherwise.

Mario: added cheatsheet

= Alchemy (Post 2.0 launch) =

After the 2.0 launch of Ratwood, alchemy has been changed and adapted to the AP(Azure Peak) base.

To perform Alchemy, you should have preferably level 2+ to make potions of lesser strength (not the Strong variations), whilst classes like the Witch (towner subclass) and generally other magicians (like Mago's Apprentices and or the Court Magos themself) start with higher alchemy levels on spawn, for example, the Witch starts with Level 4(expert) Alchemy.

The recipes for Alchemy are not '''SET'''. They work on a point-like system. Alchemists with some experience in the skill can examine alchemy ingredients and receive the smells of the ingredient - receiving 3 scents. Those 3 scents determine the points given towards a recipe. For example, if an ingredient smells 'strongly of clean air', then they will give 3 points towards Speed potions. Alchemists with the '''LEGENDARY''' status will automatically determine what the ingredients are used for instead.

Example of examining an euphrasia with lower than level 6(legendary) alchemy:
[[File:Euphrasia non legendary.png|left|thumb|213x213px|Euphrasia examine without Legendary Alchemy]]

== Alchemy - Potions ==
To begin working on Potions with Alchemy, you must first have a Cauldron. To create one, you simply need one iron bar. It only requires Novice (level 1) skill to create.

Then, the gameplay loop for potion making begins. First, you will need ingredients. Potions require two to create, a primary and secondary one.

The best place to harvest a good lot of primary ingredients - being flowers mainly - are in the southern area of the map, however, be careful as the bog is dangerous. You should consistently sneak to avoid triggering ambushes, however with some good kiting, even a witch with just magic missile can handle most ambushes using zad form for quick escaping.

[[File:Patch of flowers.png|left|thumb|429x429px|A small patch of flowers growing in the southern area of the map.]]

Next, you'd need secondary ingredients. Those are harder to achieve, but some are easy to attain, like viscera and sinew whilst others are a lot more difficult to obtain, like Gold Dust or Magic Dust. Some of those require some exotic ingredients that are harder to come by.

To create a potion, you must accumulate a total of FIVE points towards that potion by putting two ingredients inside the cauldron.

Getting the ingredients wrong will result in the brew not being able to be made. Also having too low of an alchemy skill will result in the same thing since you're 'not skilled enough to make such potion.' Whilst the Alchemy Manual is mostly WRONG, you can still get a few ideas on how to make things, and how difficult they are to make.

== '''''<big>A complete list of ingredients that can be found in Rotwood Vale, what they're used for exactly, and how to obtain them.</big>''''' ==

=== Flowers ===
All flowers are generally found in the wilderness, and sometimes as static spawns in town - unless specified otherwise.
