History — Alchemy
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
- Open the Craft menu and select the Alchemy tab.
- Recipes you meet the skill requirement for are shown in full; locked recipes appear greyed out with the required skill level.
- Ensure you have the required gathered resources in your resource inventory.
- 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; drinking a second potion of the same type extends the timer rather than replacing it.
Potion Recipes
Recipes are organised into four tiers by required Alchemy skill. All durations are shown in minutes.
