Introduction

Alchemy is a skill that allows you to create your own potions for consumption. These can be pretty handy once crafted especially if you need extra health potions or want an xp or power boost.

It is available to all characters, but only Andriel is able to gather herbs that are needed to combine to create potions.
You need at least two herbs combined to create a potion. The crafting alchemy process is also pretty simple, just combine them in your inventory, by double clicking on them

Consumables List

Below is given the title of each consumable, available as well as the added effects. Consumables do have a cooldown period and you can't stack the same types of consumables but you can combine effects. e.g. Healing Potions and Healing Cakes will give you a significant healing boost, but eating two healing cakes won't increase the duration of health regeneration.
