Alchemist: Difference between revisions

'''Alchemist''' is a [[professions|profession]] in episode one, [[Hopeport]]. Alchemy is used to make [[Potions]] with a variety of beneficial effects from different reagents, which are obtained from the [[Forager]], [[Gatherer]], [[Miner]], and [[Merchant]] professions. Players are also able to buy any reagent which they have the alchemy level to use from from the [[Zeltay Tramagan|Reagent Vendor]], located in [[Town Square|Hopeport Town Square]]. Brewing potions also requires [[Bottle|Bottles]], which can be purchased from Ebsworth in the [[Apothecary]] for {{Currency|20}}.

== Alchemy activities ==

Most potions are brewed at the [[Standard Potion Station]] from the relevant preparation and one bottle, which produces 1 potion every 6.5 seconds and awards alchemy XP.The produced potions may be stored in the [[Potions Bank]]. Standard potions types include [[Healing]], XP for each Episode, Elemental strength ([[Strength Arborae|Arborae]], [[Strength Cryonae|Cryonae]], [[Strength Tempestae|Tempestae]]), and [[Fear]].

[[File:Alchemist.jpg|thumb|A player practicing Alchemy at the "Potent Potion Station" in Homeport]]Some potions are brewed using the [[Potent Potion Station]], which produces stronger potions at a slower rate. Like standard potions these are brewed from a preparation and a bottle, however the Potent Potion Station funcitons very differently. Four components of the station must be constantly managed, and only one potion is produced every 25 - 30 seconds. Potent potions exist for all of the same potion types as standard potions, and award alchemy xp when the potent potion is created.

If the potent potion brewing process is not managed it can fail. In this situation, a lower variant standard potion is produced instead and no xp is awarded.

A type of [[Passive activities|Passive]] activity performed at the Reagent Preparation Station. Ebsworth Work requires no reagents, produces no potions, and awards both alchemy XP and coins every 20 seconds.

Standard potions and Potent potions that are produced actively from reagents that are mixed into preaparations, and then brewed. Potent potions award approximately double the XP of a standard potion of a similar level, however they are produced 4 times slower.
