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.
All potion ingredients are gathered resources — Soil, Volcanic Rock, Forest Wood, and so on. Keep a healthy stockpile from regular gathering and you will always have materials to brew.

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.

Tier I — Draughts — 5 recipes

Brewable from the first day — no skill needed, and the ingredients are open-ground gathering.

PotionEffectSkillMaterials
Minor Accuracy Draught+8% ACC / 5 min0Forest Wood ×2, Ocean Fish ×1
Minor Agility Draught+8% DEX / 5 min0Marsh Bug ×2, Forest Wood ×1

Minor Defence Draught+8% DEF / 5 min0Soil ×2, Volcanic Rock ×1
Minor Strength Draught+8% STR / 5 min0Soil ×2, Marsh Bug ×1
Tier II — Potions — 5 recipes

The workhorse tier. Longer, stronger, and where the two utility tonics sit.

Mage Potion+14% INT / 10 min20Ice Jewel ×4, River Pearl ×3, Ocean Fish ×2

Treasure Hunter's Brew+10% Gold / 10 min30Sand Gem ×4, River Pearl ×3, Ocean Fish ×2
Tier III — Elixirs — 5 recipes

Greater potions and the first Elixirs — a quarter of an hour of real benefit.

PotionEffectSkillMaterials
Greater Defence Potion+20% DEF / 15 min50Soil ×8, Volcanic Rock ×6, Old Relic ×4, Sand Gem ×2
Greater Strength Potion+20% STR / 15 min50Soil ×8, Marsh Bug ×6, Volcanic Rock ×4, Old Relic ×2

Elixir of Greed+16% Gold / 20 min65Sand Gem ×8, River Pearl ×6, Ocean Fish ×4, Ice Jewel ×3
Tier IV — Supreme — 3 recipes

The top of the base ladder. Twenty to thirty minutes a dose, and priced accordingly.

PotionEffectSkillMaterials
Supreme Power Potion+30% STR / 20 min80Soil ×15, Marsh Bug ×12, Volcanic Rock ×10, Old Relic ×5
Elixir of the Ages+24% EXP / 30 min85Old Relic ×12, Ice Jewel ×12, River Pearl ×8, Sand Gem ×6
Philosopher's Tincture+24% Gold / 30 min90Sand Gem ×15, River Pearl ×12, Ocean Fish ×8, Ice Jewel ×6
Crafting Utility — 2 recipes

Neither of these grants a stat percentage, which is why they are listed apart.

PotionEffectSkillMaterials
Cleansing Tonic+0 Cleanse25River Pearl ×3, Forest Wood ×3, Soil ×2
Artisan's Tonic+30 CP30Old Relic ×4, Sand Gem ×3, Volcanic Rock ×2, Ice Jewel ×1
Artisan's Tonic is the only potion with a flat (non-percentage) effect. Drinking it grants +30 CP to the cap of the next crafting session you start within the next 10 minutes. The bonus is locked in at session start, so even if the 10-minute timer expires mid-craft, the extra 30 CP stays available for the rest of that rotation. For a fresh crafter it turns the Reforge-or-refine dilemma into both: 90 + 30 = 120 CP covers an 88-CP Crystal Reforge with change left for a Polish.
Only one potion effect of each type can be active at a time, and a second potion replaces the first rather than extending it — it runs for its own full duration, not the leftover plus its own. A weaker potion drunk over a stronger one is refused and not consumed, so nothing is wasted. Food and potions occupy separate lanes, so a meal and a potion of the same stat can both run at once.
EXP and Gold potions pair extremely well with guild bonuses and essence effects — stack them before a long grinding session or a World Boss event for maximum returns.

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.
