Basic Alchemy
With Basic Alchemy, you are able to craft small HP and MP potions as well as small HP and MP recovery potions. Level 1 gives you a 25% success rate, level 2 gives you a 50% success rate, and level 3 gives you a 75% success rate. After you reach level 3 of Basic Alchemy, level 1 of Advanced Alchemy will become available. Learning Advanced Alchemy does not further increase your chance of success when crafting items that use Basic Alchemy, it just opens up a new set of items for you to create.
Here are the potions you may create with Basic Alchemy, as well as the ingredients they take:
Potion | Ingredients | Amount created |
Small Healing Potion | 25 Yellow Herb Leaf | 10 potions |
Small Mana Potion | 19 Zeta Wave Energy | 10 potions |
Small HP Recovery Potion | 14 Yellow Herb Leaf | 10 potions |
Small Mana Recovery Potion | 11 Zeta Wave Energy | 10 potions |
To create the above items, you will need a Small Healing Potion Manual. These can be bought from any general merchant NPC for 50gold. In Juno, Merchant Geres is the one who sells these manuals. Every time you succeed at making potions, it will cost one manual. If you do not succeed, the manual will remain in your inventory, but the ingredients for the potions you tried to make will disappear.
Advanced Alchemy
Advanced Alchemy allows you to create medium potions. For medium potions, you will need to purchase a Medium Health Potion Manual, which costs 100gold. These are sold by the same NPC the small potion manuals are. If you open up the manual, you will see that there is only one medium potion type available.
Here is what the Small Healing Potion Manual allows you to make:
Potion | Ingredients | Amount |
Medium Healing Potion | 20 Yellow Herb Leaf 10 Herb Trunk 6 Flawed Water Crystal |
10 potion |
The Medium Health Potion Manual allows you to create two types of medium potions.
Potion | Ingredients | Amount |
Medium Healing Potion | 20 Yellow Herb Leaf 10 Herb Trunk 6 Flawed Water Crystal |
10 potions |
Medium Mana Potion | 10 Flawed Earth Crystal 10 Poor Quality Tincture |
10 potions |
Expert Alchemy
With Expert Alchemy, you get the ability to make tears and crystals. Tears are used to reduce evil points and remove negative XP, and crystals are used to reduce XP/SP loss when dying.
To make tears, you need to purchase a Scroll of Tears from one of the Scroll Trader NPCs. These scrolls cost 1,000gold. There are two types of tears that can be made from them:
Tear | Ingredients | Amount |
Tear of Repentance | 40 Flawed Stone 40 Imperfect Stone 40 Zeta Wave Energy 40 Epsilon Wave Energy 40 Yellow Herb Leaf 40 Herb Trunk |
1 Tear |
Tear of Forgiveness | 40 Flawed Stone 40 Imperfect Stone 40 Zeta Wave Energy 40 Epsilon Wave Energy 40 Yellow Herb Leaf 40 Herb Trunk |
1 Tear |
Tears of Repentance will remove -1 evil from your good/evil score. These are useful to those who enjoy PvP outside the arena. The game no longer allows one to have negative experience. As a result, the Tears of Forgiveness have no real benefit though they used to remove 5 %points of negative experience.
To make crystals, you need to purchase a Scroll of Crystals from one of the Scroll Trader NPCs. These scrolls cost 1,000gold. There are four types of crystals that can be made from them:
Crystal | Ingredients | Amount |
Crystal of Experience [Small] | 30 Flawed Stone 20 Imperfect Stone 30 Zeta Wave Energy 20 Epsilon Wave Energy |
1 Crystal |
Crystal of Experience [Medium] | 40 Imperfect Stone 40 Quality Stone 40 Epsilon Wave Energy 40 Gamma Wave Energy |
1 Crystal |
Crystal of Experience [Greater] | 70 Flawed Stone 60 Imperfect Stone 70 Quality Stone 70 Zeta Wave Energy 60 Epsilon Wave Energy 70 Gamma Wave Energy |
1 Crystal |
Crystal of Efforts | 70 Zeta Wave Energy 60 Epsilon Wave Energy 70 Gamma Wave Energy 60 Yellow Herb Leaf 70 Herb Trunk 70 Green Herb Leaf |
1 Crystal |
The small Crystal of Experience reduces your XP loss by 20% upon death. The medium one reduces your XP loss by 35%, and the greater one reduces it by 50%. As for the Crystal of Efforts, it reduces your SP loss by 50%. All of these are quite useful--especially the last one.
