Alchemy Know-How

Triggzy

 

Hello trainee alchemists!

 

How did your experimentations in potion crafting fair over the beta weekends? Is alchemy a profession you're eager to get stuck in to at launch? 

 

I personally felt that alchemy was vital to gameplay and extremely useful. Not only was it great for healing my non-Templar classes with health potions but it also increased the power of my characters (extra stamina, increased weapon damage, etc). I think that players will need an impressive array of potions for dungeons and pvp to truly maximise their character's potential. So I thought I'd put together this list of everything you could possibly need to know about alchemy

 

Profession Passives:

1) Solvent Proficiency : Allows you to make better/higher level potions.
2) Keen Eye : Makes gatherable ingredients for potions in the open world glow from 20-30-40 meters away.
3) Medicinal use: Increases potion effects 10%-20%-30%
4) Chemistry : Allows you to produce extra potions during crafting without consuming any ingredients.
5) Laboratory use: Permits the use of up to 3 reagents/ingredients for making potions.
6) Snakeblood: Reduces the negative effects by 50%-80%-100%.

It will cost 19 Skills Points to max everything in Alchemy.
