Introduction

Greetings, I am Keeper Roc,
This guide aims to be a quick reference for those dabbling in the pointless art of alchemy

You can find a German translated version of this guide here

To unlock the Alchemy Technology Tree, progress in the storyline where you have met and finished helping the Swamp Witch,
either by giving a heal potion (obtained in the dungeon) or
a cauldron (bought from the Blacksmith (Tier II shop) )

To Process Materials for alchemy, First you have to Study them at a Study Table.

Then you will have to build your Lab Equipment

The Lab Setup

What the "The Lab" looks like.

Recipes

Getting the Master Alchemist Perk will increase Reagent Yields by +1 in most cases (yet to confirm if there are exceptions)
