When doing alchemy you really want to achieve the fastest possible alchemy time for your convienence. The base Alchemy Tool and the Balenos Traditonal Alchemy Tool can be bought from a general goods vendor for the prices listed below.

The other alternative is to use the Intermediate Alchemy Tool which has less durability but does not give the alchemy time reduction. You may have a hard time buying this off the marketplace and should make them yourself if you can. Ideally you want to use Advanced Alchemy Tools for the alchemy time reduction and because of it’s high durability but this is really one of the biggest bottlenecks when it comes to alchemy because it’s even harder to make than the Advanced Cooking Utensil and can only be made in a Level 4 Tool Workshop (currently the only one is in Glish). You may also occasionally receive “trash” items, which can be exchanged for other alchemy ingredients, contribution EXP, alchemy EXP, or silver. The highest grade you can currently craft with Alchemy is blue grade. There are 5 item grades (lowest to highest):Īll items in our Alchemy recipes list are green grade items with green grade buff stats. Higher item grades will give you a better stats. When you prepare some items (such as elixirs), you have a chance of earning a higher item grade. Here you can select ingredients or a recipe from the list highlighted in blue. The recipe list will not tell you the ingredients for items you have not prepared before. A basic Alchemy Tool can be bought from an Alchemist for 5,000 silver, crafted using a Tool Workshop or bought from the Central Market.Īfter you have acquired a alchemy tool and placed it in your house, you can interact with it by pressing the R button to open the alchemy window.
