Alchemy is one of Crystaria's six crafting disciplines, found in the Craft menu alongside Blacksmith, Armorsmith, Leatherworker, Jeweller, and Culinarian. Alchemists brew Potions — consumable flasks that grant a timed percentage bonus to a single stat or resource gain. A well-timed potion can make the difference in a tough dungeon or a World Boss attempt.

Alchemy Skill

Like all crafting disciplines, Alchemy has a skill from 0 to 100. Every successful brew increases your skill, with higher-tier recipes giving larger gains. Higher skill unlocks more powerful recipes. You can see your current Alchemy skill on the Alchemy tab in the Craft menu.

Brewing a Potion

1. Open the Craft menu and select the Alchemy tab.
2. Recipes you meet the skill requirement for are shown in full; locked recipes appear greyed out with the required skill level.
3. Ensure you have the required gathered resources in your resource inventory.
4. Click Brew on the desired recipe. The ingredients are consumed and the potion is added to your item inventory.

Using Potions

Open your Inventory and navigate to the Potions section. Click a potion to see its effect and duration, then click Drink to consume it. The bonus applies to your stats immediately — re-enter any area or refresh to see updated numbers. Only one effect of each type can be active at a time. A potion of equal or greater strength replaces the active effect and runs for its own full duration; a weaker potion is refused while a stronger effect is running — it stays in your bag, unspent.

Potion Recipes

Recipes are organised into four tiers by required Alchemy skill. All durations are shown in minutes.

Elemental Oils

Coat your weapon to make its swings carry an element for two minutes — applying that element's affliction and letting any class set up Elemental Reactions. One oil is active at a time; a new one replaces it.

All Alchemy Recipes

Brewed at the Alchemist; ingredients come from Gathering. The in-game Alchemist always lists the current set for your skill.

Beyond the Cauldron Basics

The bench brews more than combat potions — three whole recipe families come from the gathering professions:

• Logger's Alchemy — five timber brews (Heartwood Draught up to the Ancient Grove Elixir) distilled from Logging hauls.
• Fish Cookery — eleven dishes, from Grilled Perch to Jade Koi Broth, cooked from Fishing catches at the same bench.
• Frontier Alchemy (Tier V) — the strongest potions in the game (+32% effects, skill 92–98), brewed from frontier materials: Phantom Ash, Void Crystal and Volcanic Cinder.

Rare Reagent Brews

Every profession's ladder now runs all the way to its rarest find. These 18 brews are what the Rare and Legendary materials are for — the snow, jungle, marsh, wasteland, echo and blight finds that previously had nowhere to go.
