Alchemy recipes?
Is it possible to find alchemy recipes in the game? Or am I supposed to just experiment? Because if so, then I'd better look at wiki (but I would like to avoid doing so, honestly). There's just to many combinations for me to waste time on,

I feel exactly the same way and am wondering the same thing.

No in game help, I used the gamepedia/wiki. Just too many combinations with no hints. Goo is useless.

Right now:
>15 X 15 (powder/oil/water) = 225 possibilities on Alchemy I (15 combinations)
>12 powder X 8 solution X 8 extract = 768 possibilities on Alchemy bench II (20 combinations)

Wish you could study goo or ingredients and it could give you and idea of where to go.

This is a comprehensive guide to alchemy. It really saves a lot of time and effort

Thanks! If there are really no breadcrumbs that lead you to these recipes in the game, that's a bit silly and I'll use this guide. Found many of the 2-ingredient recipes myself, but would never have thought to use Water or Oil... :|

After that I wasn't even going to try going through the 768 possibilities for Alchemy Workbench II!

You can buy a random alchemy recipe from the witch everyday for 5 silver. So far each recipe I purchased this way has been unique so it would seem it is always a new recipe.

the goo is a clue, if you're trying to find recipes without help. The color of goo represents the color of an ingredient you're missing in a recipe. Which ingredient needs to be replaced to get a recipe can be the tricky part.

Another in game way to find recipes is to buy them off the witch in the swamp (as Buchido just said). Clotho sells them for 5 silver each...but you get a random recipe and might not be one you want. The new DLC also gives a lot of these recipes, which you can just sell back to Clotho if you don't want them.

The problem with this is if you're trying to get the achievement, using the recipes doesn't count towards it...though you can always write them down for your next file so you can get the achievement then. :D:

It's just easier to use the wiki. There are thousands of possible combinations. The very first game I played, I realised what a monumental task figuring out every alchemical recipe was going to be and I just said to myself, "no." Goo makes it easier once you grok it, but still...no. I don't even get them all anymore, just ones I am going to use.

As a matter of ridiculous coincidence, today I bought an alchemy recipe from Clotho on a whim. Used it, and--bing!--achievement. They *do* apparently count.

I guess my source on that was incorrect, then. O.o
