Potion Creation Guide; A Detailed Article for Brewing Pots...

Potion Creation

To create potions, you need to have Pharmacy, the proper potion creation manual, a medicine bowl, and the ingredients in your inventory. Manuals and medicine bowls can be purchased in the Alchemist guild, Empty Potion Bottles and Empty Test Tubes in the Mage guild in Geffen, and Scells can be bought at the tool shop in Geffen. Once you use Pharmacy, the medicine bowl is consumed, and the list of all the potions that you can create with the manuals you have in your inventory pops up; select the potion you want to make, it shows the ingredients you need, then make your potion. Use your arrow keys and enter to speed through the windows, and if you're creating, say, alcohol, only have that manual in your inventory so you don't have to scroll through a large list of various potions. The ingredients are as follows:

Posted Image Red Potion : 1 Red Herb + 1 Empty Potion Bottle.
Posted Image Yellow Potion : 1 Yellow Herb + 1 Empty Potion Bottle.
Posted Image White Potion : 1 White Herb + 1 Empty Potion Bottle.
Posted Image Blue Potion : 1 Blue Herb + 1 Scell + 1 Empty Potion Bottle.
Posted Image Condensed Red Potion : 1 Red Potion + 1 Cactus Needle + 1 Empty Test Tube.
Posted Image Condensed Yellow Potion : 1 Yellow Potion + 1 Mole Whiskers + 1 Empty Test Tube.
Posted Image Condensed White Potion : 1 White Potion + 1 Witch Starsand + 1 Empty Test Tube.
Posted Image Acid Bottle : 1 Immortal Heart + 1 Empty Bottle.
Posted Image Alcohol : 5 Poison Spores + 5 Stems + 1 Empty Bottle + 1 Empty Test Tube.
Posted Image Bottle Grenade : 1 Alcohol + 1 Fabric.
Posted Image Plant Bottle : 2 Maneater Blossoms + 1 Empty Bottle.
Posted Image Marine Sphere Bottle : 1 Detonator + 1 Tendon + 1 Empty Bottle.
Posted Image Glistening Coat : 1 Zenorc's Fang + 1 Heart of Mermaid + 1 Alcohol + 1 Empty Bottle.
Posted Image Anodyne : 1 Ment + 1 Alcohol + 1 Empty Bottle.
Posted Image Aloevera : 1 Aloe + 1 Honey + 1 Empty Bottle.

Now, as for a potion creation formula, I stand by the one posted below. Sadly there is no 100% confirmed formula, but this one is accurate enough for me.

PR*1 + Pharmacy*3 + Joblv*0.2 + [Dex + Luk + (Int/2)] X 0.1 + a + 5

With a equating to:

Red, yellow, and white potions = 15.
Alcohol = 5.
Floras, marine spheres, bombs, and acids = -5.
Blue potions = -10.
Glistening coats and condensed potions = -15.

Hunting for ingredients.

Now, as for decent places to hunt for these things....

Posted Image Red Herbs : You'll get these all over the place; but the first level of Payon caves is great for them. Spores, Familiars, and Red Plants. If you can manage to get a Dracula, it basically throws red herbs at you with the instant Famliar spawn.
Posted Image Yellow Herbs : Lots of Yellow Plants spawn in Sograt desert. Just look around the maps near Morroc and you should find some. Goats also drop these at a decent rate.
Posted Image White Herbs : If you level in High Orcs, you should get a good amount of these from the Archers and Brilights. Geffen 3 also has a decent supply of White Plants.
Posted Image Blue Herbs : There's several Blue Plants that spawn in Goblin Forest, however, these are usually camped. There's also three that spawn behind the house in Orc Village that leads to Orc Zombies, but again, they're usually camped, and then there's several blue plants scattered around the Kobold map. They're generally in corners in the bushes. Seals near Comodo, Spring Rabbits on Turtle Island, and Goats south of Juno all have somewhat decent drop rates on Blue Herbs.
Posted Image Cactus Needles : The map two south of Morroc has a respectable amount of Mukas.
Posted Image Mole Whiskers : Any of the Coal Mines maps.
Posted Image Witch Starsand : Clock Tower First Floor is awesome for these; enjoy the mobs of Bathories. Geffen dungeon lvl 3 is also a good place.
Posted Image Immortal Heart : Pyramids basement 1, generally known as Minos, is where you should head to if you're after these.
Posted Image Poison Spore : Three south of Payon is decent for these.
Posted Image Stems : Either the Mandragora map one north and one east of Prontera, or the Flora map three north and one west of Prontera, two south and one west of Al De Baran.
Posted Image Fabric : Whispers!Graveyard has a good amount of Wraiths.
Posted Image Maneater Blossoms : If you can handle them, the Geographers near Juno drop these, otherwise head to the Flora map.
Posted Image Detonator : Byalan 4.
Posted Image Tendon : Byalan 4.
Posted Image Zenorc's Fang : Orcs 2. Quite easy to gather these.
Posted Image Heart of Mermaid : Byalan. Hunt for these along with Marine Sphere goodies!
Posted Image Ment : Just smack up any Red Plants you find. There's a decent amount of these in Payon 1.
Posted Image Aloe : Head off to Floras again.
Posted Image Honey : Vitatas in Ant Hell, or Bigfoot on the map west of the Flora map. Also, Soldiers in TI drop them quite frequently. Zipper Bears at Gonryun are great for them, and the Royal Jellies they drop are quite nice.
Posted Image Empty Bottles : The Toad map three west of Prontera has plenty of Roda Frogs; and Toad itself also drops Honey. Ant Eggs drop Empty Bottles at a decent rate, just watch out for irritating looting ants that'll charge off to some Swordman bot after taking your bottles. You can also farm Mastering's Poring mob for these. And don't forget about Goats; an Alchemist's best friend.

As for how much to charge when you're making potions for someone... I only charge enough to cover my bowls and bottles, so I couldn't suggest any standard prices, so it's pretty much just a personal choice.

Selling these before WoE is a good idea, as people are more willing to spend the cash then. Each potion weighs roughly three times less then the normal variety; reds at 2, yellows at 3, and whites at 5. They heal for the same amount as their heavier counterparts. If you plan on using them, you have to take into consideration that they don't stack with normal potions when slotted unto your hotkey list, and they can't be thrown via Aid Potion.

Oh, and one other thing. If possible, use store bought potions to make condensed over home made, purely for marketing reasons. No sense selling store bought potions when you can sell ones that have your name on 'em.

alchemist is diff from blacksmith alchemist skill are more in sp consumption, parang semi wiz, and potion creation is base on dex and int mababa lang ang sa luck, two primary stats for brewer is DEX and INT, hindi kami forger ng VVS na elemental WEapon, alchemist is highly ingage in life creation and potion making....

dex int ba? i have a book of juno released by Lug sa bi sa description ng skills ng pharmacy is this " Success in Pharmacy is influenced by base level, DEX and LUK"

tapos ang nakalagay sa alchemist build nila is this

DEX/VIT = is for brewer
DEX/INT = is for Pot Thrower

medyo confusing dba?
pero i made an alchemist DEX/LUK ang build

my opinion is
vit is for scavenger hunt siguro mahirap nmn siguro mag hanap ng items kung dex luk unless may pari ka dba?

cgro mag ask nlng kau sa mga pure brewers na mga alchemist :rokon:

i have a pure brewer and a brewer/protector. both have DEX and INT. and from experience, i can say that INT is the secondary power stat for brewing.

actually, kung support (brewer/pot-thrower/protector), i think that an alchemist should have DEX, INT and VIT. i don't understand ung logic nung nka-state sa guide book. DEX/INT for pot-thrower? e potion pitcher only consumes 1 sp a pop; not that much pra maubusan ka ng int, and if u have decent int (around 40), u have faster regen. and u wud need more VIT, especially for a pot-thrower, kse npakaliit ng HP ng alchemists and maliit din vit bonus nila..

my 2 cents..
