Potion Creation
In order to create potions, an Alchemist needs a specific type of manual, the skill Prepare Potion and different types of materials. Potions are a type of usable item typically used to aid players in surviving or attacking. Players also brew potions for sale to other players especially since lightweight condensed potions are not sold in NPC shops. While not strictly a consumable potion, the potion creation skill is used to create an embryo from which a homunculus is obtained.
Formula
Potion creation math is still disputed; however, the following equation appears to be most accurate at the moment:
Brewing Rate = [(PreparePotion_Lv × 3) + (PotionResearch_Lv) + (InstructionChange_Lv) + (JobLv × 0.2) + (DEX × 0.1) + (LUK × 0.1) + (INT × 0.05) + Potion_Rate]%
.
| Potion Rate | Potion |
|---|---|
| +15% ~ +25% | Red Potion, Yellow Potion, White Potion |
| +5% ~ +15% | Alcohol |
| -5% ~ +5% | Acid Bottle, Marine Sphere Bottle, Bottle Grenade, Plant Bottle |
| -5% | Blue Potion, Anodyne, Aloevera, Embryo, Elemental Potions, Condensed Red Potion |
| -10% ~ -5% | Condensed Yellow Potion |
| -15% ~ -5% | Condensed White Potion, Glistening Coat |
Spiritual Potion Creation (variant 1)
Spiritual Potion Creation I is a 2nd class active skill available as Alchemist, Biochemist, and Geneticist. This skill is only bestowed when the player is linked to the Alchemist Spirit.
Rapidly brews 200 White Potions in one go.
If the result of performing the skill exceeds the carrying capacity, the skill will be performed but the result will not be added to the inventory. The materials used will then be lost.
The brewing rate is applied individually, much like brewing one by one. Each cast consumes 200 Medicine Bowl and requires all materials needed to brew the items:
| Items Brewed | Materials | |
|---|---|---|
200  White Potion
|
200  Empty Potion Bottle
|
200  White Herb

Spiritual Potion Creation (variant 2)

This skill is only bestowed when the player is linked to the Alchemist Spirit.
This skill requires a Super Novice and Soul Linker in a party, on the same map, and within 18 cells of each other. The Alchemist does not need to be in the party.

Ranking
For Brewers there is a system in which players are ranked based on who can create the most potions.
- Rank Point +1: 3 Condensed Potions created without failure in a row.
- Rank Point +3: 5 Condensed Potions created without failure in a row.
- Rank Point +10: 7 Condensed Potions created without failure in a row.
- Rank Point +50: 10 Condensed Potions created without failure in a row.
- A fully successful brew from Spiritual Potion Creation 2 will grant 1280 points.
Alchemist ranks can be checked via usage of the /alchemist command ingame. Potions made by an Alchemist class player who is in the top 10 list will receive a 50% bonus to their efficacy. This does not apply to potions used through Aid Potion or Aid Condensed Potion.
Item Look & Feel
- When a potion is created successfully, its name will have the creator's name attached.
Megami 's Red Potion
- Normally the creator's name will appear in blue. However, if the character that created the item has been deleted, the creator's name is lost, and their items become Nameless.
- Nameless's Red Potion
