How to Use Alchemy
Alchemy allows characters to brew magical potions that anyone can use. To create a potion, gather the necessary reagents, a mortar and pestle, and at least one empty bottle. Double-click the mortar and pestle to open a menu where you can choose the type and strength of the potion you wish to craft. Keep in mind that stronger potions require more reagents, so plan your supplies accordingly. Click the button next to the potion variant to view details on success rates and required resources.
Below, you’ll find the specifics of each potion’s effects.
- Heal potions restore your health and can be used at most once per 10 seconds.
- Cure potions can cure poison. The more difficult poisons require stronger or multiple cure potions.
- Refresh potions restore your stamina
- Strength potions increase your STR stat by 20 points for a few minutes.
- Agility potions increase your DEX stat by 20 points for a few minutes.
- Explosion potions can be thrown at other players, NPCs, or ground targets. There’s a 3 second count-down.
- Poison potions can be used to poison weapons or food.
- Nightsight potions allow you to see better in the dark.
Alchemy Changes on Tides of Power, Summarized
- Normal Strength and Agility potions give +20 instead of +10 stats but the duration is shorter than a Greater Strength or Greater Agility potion.
- Purple potions have a 10 second re-use time (similar to a heal potion), but a Grandmaster Alchemist re-use time is only 3 seconds.
- Alchemists can make a hangover remedy to remove the effects of alcohol on your character.
- Alchemists can make an elixir of capacity to temporary increase your player’s max carry capacity by 100 stones.
