Skills Guide (cont.)

Alchemy

This skill might not seem like much in the beginning, but when you take it to master and grandmaster level, it can become extremely potent. There are five types of potions you can create: simple, complex, compound, white, and black. To create the most basic potions, you simply take a reagent and right click on an empty potion bottle. The more powerful the reagent, the more powerful the final product. So, for example, troll's blood produces much more potent healing potions than red berries. A dragon's eye is even more effective than troll's blood. Each level of expertise in alchemy lets you mix a successively better potion. These better potions can only be made by mixing existing potions. For example, a red and blue potion mixed together will result in a yellow cure disease potion. To get a black pure might potion, which permanently boosts your might statistic, you must combine white potions. Check out the appendix on potions for a complete list of recipes. You should only have one character learn this skill. The best alchemist is a druid, but if you don't have one in your party, you can have your sorcerer learn it.
