[Spoilers] Alchemy (Potion/Bomb) Compendium

Post by Enrun »

I love Alchemy in nearly any game and this game is no exception. Firearms and Alchemy together makes me love it even more. (Though am I the only one who noticed the alchemists 50% Firearm Jam reduction is useless once you get 5 ranks in Firearms?)

Anyway There are only 6 alchemy ingredients though they can be combined in up to any combination of 4 including multiples. Though there are no 4 ingredient recipes I have been able to find. You can begin mixing them as soon as you get a 'Mortar & Pestle' which is as soon as you enter the Forest. (Put 'Mortar & Pestle' in an Character's (trained in Alchemy) hand and right click like a weapon) I believe this list to be complete. Though I will add Alchemy "Ranks Required" as I discover them.

*Note: Potions can be right clicked from a characters inventory they don't have to be in a hand. Bombs need to be in a hand as a weapon.

*Turn into a bear (Strength +50 use Blear Claw Attack 15-30 + Strength) for 1/2 as many seconds as max energy (Note: Fills energy at start). Leaves you with 0 energy when done.

I actually got incredibly bored and I think I figured it all out (At least the two ingredient potions. If there's ones for three or four ingredients, I've only scratched the surface there on getting through two sets of the four combination possibilities X.x...)


It's pretty simple,
SpoilerShow
Bombs are made with the... Mudwort I think, the purple spore looking nonsense. It, and any of the four first ingredients, excluding the purple stuff itself, and the crystal flower, so it's essentially firebombs, frost bombs, poison bombs, thunder bombs. After that, Crystal flower and anything makes the permanant stat boost potions. I believe in order of strength, willpower, health (Or whatever the stat is actually called) and dexterity.

Anti-venom does indeed cure poison. There's a question mark there, so I thought I'd say it I guess.
Antidote cures disease, as well as petrification. Never tried it when blinded. Whole party seems to be anyways.
Of note, health potions cure injuries. SO helpful.

Resurrection potion: Brings party member back to life. Two blackmoss.
I have 9 recipe scrolls. If there are recipes that require three or four ingredients, I don't know them. I strongly suspect its for modders.

Blackmoss (purple) makes bombs. So for frost bomb, use purple and blue. I don't remember all of the herb names. XP

Alchemy 5 gives quite awesome stuff with the crystal flower:
SpoilerShow
Crystal + one of 4 different ingredients gives you a potion of strenght, dexterity, vitality or willpower, permanent +1 to that stat.

There are 126 possible recipe combinations (with repetition), I wonder if there are any secret recipes? :shock:
