Guide to Alchemy

ALCHEMY GUIDE

Alchemy is a subtype for MEDICINE, but not equally the same. Hence. MEDICINE SKILL does not reveal fluid content from bottles. Nor Alchemy contributes to surgery by any means.

Mind you, you can always rely grabbing Secrets of Alchemy book from the in-game library.

For majority of your playthrough, you'll be reliant on THREE things.

- Alchemy Station

- Cauldron

-Stone Pestle / Alchemical Mortar

The craft necessary for these two are minimum of Novice... and/or Intelligence above 10.

Alchemy Station

(Also known as Alchemical Lab)

This Structure can be Crafted with:

2 Cloths, 4 Stone, 1 small log

This Structure barely have any purpose other than TRANSMUTING or creating POISON or DRUGS.

Note: ALL of the category below are in the category of ALCHEMY in the craft menu.

Transmutation

This is either your Money Maker or getting Plants if you fail getting any from BUSHES

MIND YOU. These Transmutations are Linear, You can't transmute them back to original, only going from LEFT to RIGHT.

Stone Transmutations

Stone to Coal	➯	Coal To Iron	➯	Iron to Gold
- 4 of any stone	➯	- 2 of any coal	➯	- 4 of any raw iron

Genuinely Profitable. Requires Apprentice level to make Coal and so on. Easily able to reach Expert, necessary for making GOLD.

GemStone Transmutations

Water Transmutation

- 1 of any bottle - 16 oz of Water	➯	- 1 of any bottle - 16 oz of Water

Containers

Literally what is above but for Glass Bottles, commonly used for drinking potions. Genuinely the same category of craft.

Containers

Alchemy Bottles	Glass Bottles
- 1 of any stone - 1 of any clod	- 1 of any stone - 1 of any clod

Alchemy Bottles only holds 9oz. Glass Bottles holds 16oz.

Cauldron

Finally, the actually content but most boring.

How does it work is simple. You have to find HERBS scattered around the map or leftover of Viscera, Sinew and/or Bone.

To make it easier to identify, Examine EVERYTHING that is on the floor or dropped by people who view those items as useless items. They aren't to you.

You'll know what those items are when they have Yellow labels, distinguishing "Smells".

The most recommended level to brew and make potions is: Expert.

Have a CHEAT SHEET, Sparing a headache from details as the game features too many sprites and dusts for you to smell.
