Does anyone know the Trivial of making dyes ... ???

Would be a great help ....

Thank u ....

As lvl 31 i cannot have a trivial higher than 30 so i hope it is a little lower but i dont think so ...

I had heard that there was such a thing as bind potions, yet I can't find a single site that shows how they are made or to even confirm that they are made. PLEASE someone let me know...

can you miox the colors by like using a red resin and a blue resin to make a dye? or no

I have found "BLUE SLUMBER FUNGUS" at the fairy camp in L Fay. It looks like a tiny blue sparkly mushroom. Does anyone have ANY clue as to what this might be used for????

I hope the following will help young shamen to improve their mastery of alchemy, our exclusive science that can be very useful in many situations.

First of all, you have to raise your skill to a decent level.
The skill caps at (level-24)*5, and it s better to raise it as soon as possible cause you might need those potions. Shrink potions are for exemple a way to enter the hole without a rogue.

So how to raise that skill?
You will need 3 things every time you want to raise your alchemy skill: wisdom, charisma, money.
When you make a potion, the test done to see if you will gain a point in skill is on your highest stat between intelligence and wisdom. So you will improve faster with 205 wisdom and 60 intelligence that with 150 in each of them.
Take your wisdom equipment, cast a charisma buff on you (100 charisma is enough to have the best prices when indifferent to the vendor), grab money and go to your shaman guild.
The most important thing after this is to choose which potions you will make.
This is when you have to check a trivial list on the net. There's a nice one on the shaman's crucible.
Be sure to always make the potion whose trivial cap is nearest to your current skill. That way you will succesfully make a potion moreoften. Most potions arent of any real use, or at least they are very hard to sell.
Only potions I advise you to keep when you re raising skill are sow potions, shrink potions, invis vs undead potions, and damage shield potions.
Sow potions will be your favorite for a long time since it costs 5.6 pp and can be sold at 15pp sometimes, 10pp nowadays. shrink potions and invis vs undeads can be sold for a nice price in lower guk, but you may want to keep them for yourself. If you're not an iksar you will have trouble in many zones to enter those tiny buildings, and shrink potions work everywhere, unlike the spell. Invis vs undeads is also very useful when you travel without a caster who has it.
Damage shield potions are rather to be kept for special occasions like raids, duels or soloing big things. above 50 they do 13 dmg per hit and stack with all other damage shields in the game.
All other potions you will make until you ve reached 150 in skill are not commercial. (maybe levitate potion is?) You will have to sell them back to vendor for some pp, far less than what they cost of course, but you wont be able to keep them all anyway.
A problem you might encounter is to get the proper reagents. Each shaman guild has only half of the reagents. This means if you want to make sow potions, you will have to go to firiona or halas for exemple, but if you want to make invis vs undeads you have to go in cabilis or oggok... Shrink potions need you to get reagents from cabilis and firiona. You might want to create an alternate iksar or an alternate barbarian depending on your race to get the reagents for you.

A little hint to make potions really fast. put your medicine bag in the last slot of your inventory. Put another empty bag in the slot just above. Buy the reagens you need (if it s for sale purpose always buy a bit more of the reagent than you need in case of failure), put them in the empty bag in a row. Open that bag and the medicine bag. drag each bag window near your character window, side by side. hit ctrl, click on one reagent, put in medicine bag, click on second reagent, put in medicine bag, and so on, until u have put all required reagents in bag. combine, and if succesful click on your character window to deposit the potion in first empty slot in your inventory. do this again until you have made all the potions you want.

Until 70, your skill will raise easily, you will lose some money but not that much. From 70 to 90 it will take money and time, but not too long.
However, between 90 and 140, I had to spent 6000 pp, and none of the potions I could make were commercial. they all cost around 18 pp to make, and sells for 4pp at vendors...
At 140 I can at last make gate potions with a decent ratio, and I can still raise skill using those 18 pp potions until 157. After 157 I only see gate potions as a way to raise skill, and those cost 180 pp each :-)
Remember alchemy is a unique skill and I think later it will have a use in more quests. Currently the only quest I know that requires alchemy skill is the cannibalize2 quest. However Verant has begun adding new potions, new purposes for alchemy (such as the dyes for armors), and special potions that need to retrieve various components in Kunark.
To conclude I'll post here a recipe in lizard language I found in the sarnak fortress in lake of ill omen when I was hunting there. This potion is called Xinth and I never found out its use on the net, nor could I get all components.
Here is the recipe:
Firiona drixie dust+stoneleer emerald plume+slate chant rock to make dristillate
sarnak nightdust+gorge moss+sponge mushroom to make opal slush
dristillate+opal slush to make Xinth
I think this potion is for some quest, or it must be a really efficient potion for the time spent ;-)
I d be really happy if anyone could found all components and find out what the potion does, or what quest it s for.
