The Alchemy skill allows players to craft potions, aspect items, and various materials used in activities such as plant growing and mount breeding. Higher Alchemy skill increases potion potency, extends buff durations, and provides both PvE and PvP benefits. Players with 80+ Alchemy can use the Potion Codex to enhance potion effects against creatures.
Potion Crafting
- Players can craft potions that provide buffs, healing, and other effects.
- The highest-tier potions for each reagent type (e.g., Greater Heal, Greater Explosion) can be crafted in stacks of 25.
- Crafting 25 potions at once requires the maximum skill for that potion type (e.g., 90 Alchemy for a 65-90 skill potion).
- Potion Kegs can hold up to 100 potions and replace empty bottles.
Potions
- Base Duration: 2 minutes
- Potion Weight: 0.25 stones each (stackable)
