ALCHEMY

Alchemy is a minigame where you create consumables:

Potions, Tonics, and Elixirs (all 3 may be called Pots or Drugs)

Equipped and used from your 6th slot.

🧪 Potions/PhiltresShort duration (15-45s) · Use IN combat
Boosts: Haste, Evasion, Crit Chance, HP/MP
🧴 TonicsLong duration (up to 15m) · Use BEFORE combat
Boosts: STR, DEX, INT, END, WIS, LCK
⚗️Elixirs → Mix of both · Long duration, boosts secondary stats
VersionsBasic (weaker) · Regular · Potent (stronger) · Unstable (stronger

but with a drawback). With a Dragon Runestone: Potions/Elixirs = Potent or

⚙️ MINIGAME GUIDE

RUNES

💡TIP: Trade Gold Vouchers for Dragon Runestones at Alina's Get Dragon
Runes shop at /join alchemyacademy — skips all minigame mechanics.

Join /join alchemy. If using Dragon Runestone → Select 1st Rune (+Bonus rep)

Otherwise use the rune matching your target potion's level:

JeraLevel 5–15 · Unlocks at Rank 1
UruzLevel 16–25 · Unlocks at Rank 3
FehuLevel 26–40 · Unlocks at Rank 5
GeboLevel 41+ · Unlocks at Rank 8
MECHANICS
GoalFill empty potion bottle by balancing the heat.

Aim for 3 green circles output (2 minimum) · Keep temp at ~70–80°

🔴 Red buttonIncreases heat (fireballs regenerate)
🔵 Blue buttonFreezes runestone to prevent overheat (icicles DO NOT regen)

⚠️NOTE: Harder runes overheat more easily. Sometimes fireballs miss and set the
room on fire (meter to 100) — unavoidable. Ice may also fail and drop meter
to -30. If either happens, just leave — you won't lose reagents on leave or fail.

RANKING UP

Obtain ×30 Chaoroot and ×30 Necrot from Swindle's Ripoff Emporium at

/join tercessuinotlim. Use with Dragon Runestones or your highest rune.
