Alchemy allows you to create Elixirs, consumable potions, that can heal wounds and buff stats and potentially add new wounds too. Elixirs are created by combining ingredients with alchemical properties. Presently, herbs (specifically, only [[Foraging|Forageables]]) and minerals (both [[Stone]]s and [[Ore]]s) generally have alchemical properties.

"Alchemy allows you to mix potions and elixirs with various effects, and can for example give temporary increases to Skills or Attributes, or heal wounds. Alchemical potions and processes often use a plethora of tools, from Mortar & Pestle to Burettes, as well as the Alchemist's Table workbench."

"Base Alchemical ingredients, chiefly herbs and minerals, all have various base effects, and the key to a successful elixir is to combine several ingredients with the same effects. If two or more effects are matched in the ingredients, that effect will also be present in the final elixir. Some alchemical processes can also create, rather than elixirs, new ingredients, by selectively combining effects from the ingredients used to make them."

How to

Elixirs are created by combining ingredients with alchemical properties. Presently, herbs (specifically, only Forageables) and minerals (both Stones and Ores) generally have alchemical properties. Each alchemy ingredient has four randomized potential effects.

Elixirs can currently only be stored in Clay Jars and you need to discover one to unlock elixir recipes.

If elixirs aren't showing up in your crafting menu, try discovering a Clay Jar first.

Base Alchemical ingredients, chiefly herbs and minerals, all have various base effects, and the key to a successful elixir is to combine several ingredients with the same effects. If two or more effects are matched in the ingredients, that effect will also be present in the final elixir.

Some alchemical processes can also create, rather than elixirs, new ingredients, by selectively combining effects from the ingredients used to make them.

Rules

  • All potential effects present in at least two of the ingredients will be present in the final Elixir.
  • If a potential effect is present in more than two of the ingredients, the effect will become increasingly more powerful.
  • All unmatched potential effects, present in only one of the ingredients, will serve to increase the harmfulness of the elixir. Elixirs generally cause some type of wound in addition to their positive effect, unless all potential effects in the ingredients are perfectly matched.
  • There are also Alchemical Processes, which consume alchemical ingredients to produce new, processed ingredients, combining, and often removing, the potential effects present in the materials used to produce them, to create cleaner ingredients, with fewer potential effects, and thus with less risk of harm.
  • A raw material -- base ingredient acquired from nature -- can only be used once in an alchemical elixir or process, meaning that you can't, for example, use both Blueberries and an Herbal Grind made from two blueberries, to create a perfectly matched elixir.
  • Most processes require the use of some combination of Alchemical tools, such as the Alchemist's Table, Retort, Burette, Testtube Rack, Fine Scales, Mortar & Pestle, or Tripod Burner.

Another discovery made by playerbase, is that each alchemical ingredient has it's own order of alchemical properties, which is meaningful during alchemical processes.

Elixirs

Herbal Swill

Input: Clay Jar, Water, Alchemical Ingredient, Herb
Required tools: Mortar & Pestle
Result: Elixir

Mercurial Elixir

Input: Clay Jar, Quicksilver, Alchemical Ingredient, Alchemical Ingredient, Mineral
Required tools: Alchemist's Table, Fine Scales, Testtube Rack
Result: Elixir

Mushroom Decoction

Input: Clay Jar, Salt Water, Alchemical Ingredient, Alchemical Ingredient, Mushroom
Required tools: Alchemist's Table, Retort, Tripod Burner
Result: Elixir

Alchemical Processes

Lye Ablution

Effect: Removes first alchemical property of an ingredient, as a result you will receive ingredient with only 3 alchemical properties.
Input: Alchemical Ingredient, Lye
Required tools: Alchemist's Table, Retort
Result: Alchemical Ingredient

Fiery combustion

Effect: Removes second alchemical property of an ingredient, as a result you will receive ingredient with only 3 alchemical properties.
Input: Alchemical Ingredient, Brimstone
Required tools: Alchemist's Table, Tripod Burner
Result: Alchemical Ingredient

Herbal Grind

Effect: Create a new ingredient with 4 new random effects from two herbs. (will have the same output given the same input, but result will be effectively random)
Input: Herb, Herb
Required tools: Mortar & Pestle
Result: Alchemical Ingredient

Measured Distillate

Effect: Removes properties 2, 3, and 4 from both ingredients resulting in an ingredient with only two properties (the first property for each).
Input: Alchemical Ingredient, Alchemical Ingredient, Vegetable Oil
Required tools: Alchemist's Table, Retort, Burette, Testtube Rack
Result: Alchemical Ingredient

Mineral Calcination

Effect: Create a new ingredient with 3 random effects from two minerals. (will have the same output given the same input, result takes 2 properties from one ingredient and 1 from other in most cases). Result is not affected by Lye Ablution process, no properties removed that way.
Input: Mineral, Mineral
Required tools: Alchemist's Table, Tripod Burner
Result: Alchemical Ingredient

Finding The Order of Alchemical Properties

1 - Apply Measured Distillate on the ingredient, since it removes all effects except the first available one, initially it will give us effect 1.

2 - Apply Lye Ablution to the same ingredient (since it removes effect A), now the ingredient only has BCD effects, then apply Measured Distillate, since it leaves only the first one available effect, we get effect 2.

3 - Apply Lye Ablution (removes A) and Fiery Combustion (removes B) to the same ingredient, now we have only effects C and D, then apply Measured Distillate, we get effect 3.

4 - The only remaining 1.

Processes example:
Say, you are making a Mushroom Decoction elixir.
 You have a Mushroom, and 4 different alchemical ingredients. You know all effects of the ingredients, and their order.
 Let's assume, you have next ingredients with next alchemical properties:
 Mushroom: (Intelligence, Agility, Nasty Wart, Concussion)
 Rock1:(Unarmed Combat, Agility, Adder Bite, Starvation)
 Herb1:(Intelligence, Cooking, Starvation, Nettle Burn)
 Rock2:(Adder Bite, Will, Nasty Wart, Farming)
 Herb2:(Concussion, Lore, Cooking, Nasty Laceration)

Required processes will be:
 Herb2 + Herb1 = Measured distillate1(Concussion, Intelligence) // You took two first effects from both ingredients, to receive ingredient with 2 effects.
 Rock1 = Lye Ablution1(Agility, Adder Bite, Starvation) // You have removed first effect, to receive ingredient with 3 effects. Note that second effect became first.
 Rock2 = Fiery combustion(Adder Bite, Nasty Wart, Farming) = Lye Ablution2(Nasty Wart, Farming) // You have removed first and second effects with two processes and received ingredient with 2 effects.
 Lye Ablution1 + Lye Ablution2 = Measured distillate2(Nasty Wart, Agility) // You have combined two Lye Ablution to take first effects from each, to receive ingredient with 2 effects.
 Measured distillate2 + Measured distillate1 + Mushroom = Mushroom Decoction // All ingredient properties have matched, so you received an elixir that will have 4 positive effects(Intelligence, Agility, Nasty Wart, Concussion), with no negative effects.

Quality


  • Elixir Buff =
    • n - is number of matching effects of ingredients

Alchemy ingredients

Each listed base attribute or ability gives stat bonus, as well as every name of wound gives healing effect for such wound.
