Alchemy
Crafting · Skill guide
Craft potions for healing, cures and combat effects. Maximum skill: 100; useful alongside Poisoning.
Summary
- Use: Double-click a mortar and pestle; choose a recipe with the required reagents and empty bottles.
- The crafting menu shows ingredients and success chance.
- Making a poison and applying it to a weapon use different skills. Alchemy does not improve the finished coating’s combat delivery.
Training
Set Alchemy to Up ↑ and leave room under your 720 total skill cap.
| Skill Range | Recommended Activity |
|---|---|
| 0–50 | Buy an optional lesson from an Alchemist for 300 gold; it raises this skill directly to 50.0. |
| 50–60 | Make Agility Potions: 1 Bloodmoss and an empty bottle. |
| 60–100 | Make Greater Heal Potions: 7 Ginseng and an empty bottle. |
Right-click the teacher NPC, select the skill’s training entry, then give 300 gold. You need a skill cap of at least 50 and room for the entire lesson under your total cap.
Mechanics & Scaling
Alchemy is a professional skill and therefore uses the slower profession gain rate. Potion effects and ingredient costs are recipe-specific. Alchemy and Enhance Potions do not change a poison coating’s tier, charges, damage or weapon-delivery chance.
Additional rules & notes
- A failed attempt can consume materials. Carry spare bottles and reagents.
- Drinking a potion does not require a free hand.
Location & Instructors
- Trainer NPC: Alchemist NPC to 50.0 for exactly 300 gold.
- Academy: No universal Academy station; craft recipes close to your current skill.
