Marigold Decoction New Recipe Discovered!

[CherryWatermelon]

This is not clickbait, this is legit! I discovered this by accident when I accidentally dumped a handful of marigold after the nettle and thought, "eh, i'll roll with it."

1. Dump all herbs in the cauldron
2. Simmer three times
3. Leave to cool completely, as in until the fire burn out

This is guaranteed to give you three potion +1 if you got the Bundle Alchemist perk.

BTW: Simmer in KCD alchemy means that point before boiling. After the first three pulls, there's bubbles but they disappear quickly. Let the bubbles disappear before pulling once to make them appear again, but wait for the bubbles to disappear again before making it appear again for the last time and just let the fire completely extinguish.

If you dump al the herbs in the couldron and finish the potion, you also get 3 potions.
You don't need to boil it.

At a high alchemy level and with the Trial and Error perk you have a LOT of leeway with the recipes

when it asks to boil three turns you can just pull the bellow three quick times and thats golden.

you don't have to follow recipes precisely in kcd 1. Guy in thread above figured out how to optmize most recipes

Meh. I enjoyed the alchemy system on my first playthrough, but honestly it's too tedious to do it all again on subsequent playthroughs.
I'd rather just get rich and buy whatever potions I need. You can also just buy most of the recipes from herbalists, which also levels your reading skill.

Not for me, since I mainly started playing KCD after discovering that it has a pretty realistic alchemy system. Discovering places where I can get a lot of ingredients and planning my travels based on wether or not I need an alchemy bench is pretty much how I play.

Fr? That doesn't register as one to mine though? For the first one, since there's no fire yet, I have to pull four times to boil for one turn. Then use the sandglass or wait 'till the bubbles dissappear to use the bellows again for another turn. If I don't, the whole process fails. I thought I have to be very specific. I'm gonna try that.

These are actually the recipes I've been following. I saw this a while ago and wrote eveything down on a notebook for ease of access lol. I always get three doses even at low level alchemy with his recipes.
