Alchemy

for all those out there that think you cant make a buck or two at alchem...well you are right and wrong......i am lvl51 with alchemy at 108 atm.....with my charisma buff and wis at 203 i can buy stacks of the herbs for sow potions(1stack=20) for 102pp in thurgadin...,out of 2 stacks of each herb i can make 3 -10stack sows and a few extras......i sell my potions in the 10 stack for 75pp each and still make a nice profit....at lower lvles you will not make much but once the skill goes up it helps pay for spella and that nice gear you always wanted.....use the fairest price that you think is necessary but remember pre lvl 50 you prolly will not make a living from alchemy....

just my 2cp worth

I'm not sure how these people are saying this is a money maker. I am lvl 34 sham, and sow potions are trivial to me. I fail about 48% of the time with wis about 140/150. With typical sham cha, the components will cost about 5 or 6pp to make. I was NEVER able to sell a single potion, and once I was able to stack them, I have never been able to get more than 100p per stack...and they dont sell very often either. Even though it is trivial, I can only just about break even now, and I have spent about 2k getting it there ( although I only trained it to 14). If I get a chanter to buy the items for me, and buff my int/wis, I can make very small profit when they finally sell. However, I think I could make more plat looting rusty weapons for the time it takes, not to mention what I have invested in it at this point. Am I doing something wrong?

There's a complete list of potions made with various component combinations on this link I hope you find it useful.

I'm starting a shammy.... is the alchemy skill completelly worthless? Is it worthwhile to raise, or does it just drain your funds and leave u copperless and alone?

PS- Do u think that the first chemist to dabble in potion making was named Al?

Ok, I was wondering how many times you fail if you try it at 25, I need the money EXTREMELY bad. Also I need to know what the components for some potions are. If anyone could help me out i would much appreciate it. Or you could send a /tell to Wineden on the server Tribunal, I am usually on from 3:00 to 6:00 Pacific Time. Thank you, bye!

Anyone know of a cheaper way to raise alchemy higher other than Greater Potions? That valerian root is a killer, makes each potions almost 20pp a pop. Not that many actually buy them either, most of the time I end up handing them out to make room. And the buy back rate is a joke. Anywho, any ideas would be great.

Anyone have the recipe for the teleport potion for field of bone?

anyone have or know where to print out a good guide for raising alchemy from 20 or however high you can train at guildmaster?

Is there such thing as a shrink potion that can be made. and if so...what is the name of it? what are the ingredients?

for Potion of Vox's Vitality where can i find a "Sea Spirit"? What zone are Warbone skeletons in? that is for Potion of Undead's Recourse and maybe another. I would very much appreciate a response to a newbie at this fine trade skill. Someone said something about Ogguk having different herbs....( im barbarian )

I am a Master-Smith on the Rodcet Nife server. I have a proposition. I need a partner in crime that can make vial of dye. I make Fine Plate armor and want to dye it. If you would like to help me by making the dyes, I can split the profits with you on selling dyed fine plate armor. If you are interested, please send /tell in game to Tenniel or you can reach me at kabuki_73@yahoo.com

Thanks, and hope to see you online. BTW, I can also make us each a set of fine plate armor at cost. Very good price. Profits are out there. I just need a team player. :)

First off i wouldnt advise starting alchemy till 30.. the skill cap for alchemy is your level minus 24 times 5. So if oyu are level 30 its
30-24=6
6x5=30
SO... the skill cap at level 30 is 30 skill. What i am doing to level in alchemy is make nothing but SoW potions... do this till you you are trivial in alchemy. First you need a medicine bag from an alchemy merchan. The recipe for Sow potions (Blood of Wolf) Birthwart (2pp) Fenugreek (2pp) Wolf Blood (1pp). Put one of each herb in the bag and hit combine. If you use only training points to level the skill then you should succeed about half the time (i have 154 wis). So the cost to make is about 10pp a potion. I sell SOW potions for 12-15pp. After you are trivial in Sow potions (skill 37) make shrink potions. Recipe for shrink potions AKA Ant's potions is: Sumbal(4pp) and Celendine Herb (5pp). I sell these potions for 16-20pp to players. Shrink potions are trivial at 70. After this its up to you.. it gets a lil too expensive to proceed further so I would just stop. Doing alchemy this way will actually make you money instead of losing it for you. An optional thing to do is get a bearskin potion bag and put 10 potions inside then hit combine. It will make a 10 charge potion of tat kind. I have found that people will buy your wares much more likely if they are 10 charges.

Im considering sending this guide to various sites.. so PLEASE rate it.

Note: I got a lot of my info from Beguiler's guide to alchmey (not sure of spelling or exact title, my apologies)
