Appendix A: Alchemy Crafting Ingredients and Recipes

The craft of Alchemy requires that you gather the ingrediants that are required for a given potion, and learning what you can use and then making them will save you a LOT of gold in this game, so do not overlook this craft!

Below are the Ingredients and the Recipes that you can make from them...

--== Ingredients ==--

Each alchemical ingredient has four basic effects; you can discover the first simply by tasting that ingredient. You find the remaining three effects of the ingredient by testing and experimenting with these ingredients, or you just read the list below...

--== Recipes ==--

Each of the Recipes has specific ingredients that are required, and these are listed and followed by their position in the recipe -- marked with a number in brackets -- which indicates the ingredient effect, being (1) primary, (2) secondary, (3) tertiary, or (4) quaternary. If you look at the ingredients list above for the specific entry you will see that each has known effects, and by examining all of the ingredients required for a recipe you will better understand the synergy that goes into making that recipe!

There are two basic forms of recipes -- potions, which are positive effects, and poisons, which are negative -- so when you combine the two positive ingredients you create a potion, and the negative ingredients create a poison. Potions can be used to heal or correct conditions, while poisons can be applied to your weapons to make them more lethal.
