Alchemy Secret: Spoiler!

[Muted Kobold]

I found something interesting... but I am not sure if there will be a recipe in the game that says this.

Those Crystal flowers can be used to make potions to increase stats. If you have an alchemist, let them multiply. So far... blood shroom and flower creates strength.

[Austellus]

It doesn't explicitly say, but it does mention that the most powerful potions use crystal flowers.

Etherweed is willpower, I believe it was falconskyre for dexterity and mudwort for vitality.

[Cairn.L]

Blooddrop Cap + Crystal flower = Potion of Strength
Etherweed + Crystal flower = Potion of Willpower
Mudwort + Crystal flower = Potion of Vitality
Falconsyre + Crystal flower = Potion of Dexterity

[Re'AL1st]

Alchemy skill level affects the rate of plant growth?

[Austellus]

I don't believe it does, it just allows you to make different potions.

You need to be alchemist to farm herbs.

[Dworfkin]

i got 16 crystal flowers but alchemy 1st lvl

[Divus101]

anyone knows how many steps you need to walk before one herb grow?

[Re'AL1st]

A lot. Maybe 500.

[Tegga21]

All herbs are generated every X steps/tiles(Total game steps) doesn't matter how long they have been in your inventory or how many or where(in bags or out) only matters they have a space to replicate to

2 Alchemists will always generate X herb (blood/crystal/etc) at the exact same time, same for 3 and 4

Herbs have different growth rates, likely affected by difficulty
Blooddrop Cap = 600 or so
Etherweed = 900 or so
Falconsyre = 1500 or so
Mudwort = 2000 or so
Blackmoss = 3000 or so
Crystal flower = 6000 tiles or so

Personally I run 2 alchemists on my ironman/single use crystal run, one is a front row melee minotaur, other is a back row caster. They each generate an identical herb at the exact same time(provided they have space where the herb is at, aka bag or inventory).

Just not using them all game, cos i got only 1st lvl alchemy
Btw, what makes potion of necromancy? It summons help for you?

[Neko_Baron]

What if you have 4 ratling alchemists, with mutation perk? all the stats? or just a silly waste.

[💎 Andy 💎]

Ahh darn it i didnt pick an alchemist. I just gave one of my wizards the skill. oh poo.They wont multiply now.

[sjpaladin]

Potion of necromancy is a potion of resurrection. You need level 4 or 5 alchemy for it. I brings dead characters back to life.

You need level 5 to make use of crystal flowers. Definitely want to get that eventually, don't loose those crystal flowers.

How can your alchemist cast spells? I put every staff i found in all of my not wizard chars and never get something done :(
