Alchemy[]

Main Article - Alchemy

The potions listed in this section will all work, though there are some inaccuracies and not all effects are listed. For the most accurate known information, use the main page.

Potions are made with the use of a cauldron. One can be found in Etris, right of the guild house and up the mountain, one in the Summer Isles, and another in the Greathive in the archives. Both are working and the Greathive cauldron was fixed.

  • The name of a potion is split into two parts. The first word indicates its effect, and the second indicates potency and purpose.
  • Adding more of one ingredient to a single ingredient potion adds to it's strength. You can add up to 3.
  • For the purpose of noting them down, unless it goes by a different title the after name Potion is used to remove confusion. Please do not note down potions with different final names, there is no use:) (Edits by Malcolm#0572, contact me if you find any new potions or have questions, I've fixed this page up a lot)
  • The effectiveness of potions scales with your Intelligence stat, as well as being improved with 3 talents: Apothecary (stronger beneficial potions), Exterminator (stronger negative potions) and Wild Alchemy (Has a chance to double the potion you’re mixing).

  • There are a few modifier ingredients you can add that are not listed here, such as redds, sticks, and beeswax. These can increase various effects. Making an invigorating elixer with 3 goblettos and 2 redds is excellent healing.

  • The word "Elixir" comes from "al iksir", which is the Arabic word for miracle substances. Dating back to the third century BC.
