Alchemy
Overview
Alchemy is a primary crafting profession. It lets you prepare potions, elixirs and flasks from gathered herbs.
It pairs naturally with Herbalism, which provides those herbs.
What this profession is for
- Prepare potions, for example to restore health or mana.
- Prepare elixirs and flasks that strengthen your character.
- Set up an Alchemy Lab at the camp, around the campfire.
Learning the profession
Alchemy is learned from an alchemy trainer. Each rank raises the profession's maximum skill and requires a character level and a minimum skill:
- Apprentice: up to 75 skill.
- Journeyman: up to 150, from 50 skill and level 10.
- Expert: up to 225, from 125 skill and level 20.
