Alchemy.
« on: January 30, 2010, 05:27:49 AM »
I was recently discussing the Craft with a few people, and have have cme to the conclusion that it is mainly forgotten now.

The ingridients require are completely dependant on spawns, the basic ingridients required for someone to start out are in no abundance so with any luck they may master it in 2-3 (level 15 in the craft) if they spent all their times checking for ingridients and had a lot of luck.

Now that Herbalism has been kind of free'd up thanks to the re-add of potions, may it be an idea to perhaps tone down some of the more frequent dropping herbs and replace them with Alchemy ingridients.
They could then represent, poison ivy, thorn bushes and you can continue these kind of plants as far as your imagination/knoledge of the plant world stretches.

Perhaps adding drops to more creatures, shadowed creatures have always been a kandidate for bottled black, the three hags in the Village could be given hag (tears, heads, hearts) when all three are combined you get the purified Alchemy produce, for each less it weakens.

Broken ones could drop a certain fluid as they are biologiclly mutilated, alhoon ilichor could be used in Alchemy (although it does have plot value), spiders for poison, the options are endless...

It just seems to me that Alchemy was a brief spurt of fun when it was first introduced and now people only do it for ic reasons to master the craft or if they just so happen to come into the ingridients.

i completely agree, so much that could be utilized. i managed to get the alchemy skill to 20 making strong varnishes. so much more imagination could go into it.

Not strictly related to alchemy but something I thought of. What of being able to brew various drinks, ie wines, tsukia, and so forth to be able to sell or something of that nature.?

Quite the RP potential. And quite the money making potential if done right, there are other wine makers on the servers, albeit NPC's but they are still there.

Wouldn't wine making fall under herbalism though?

I mean, would someone really want to ingest resin or other alchemical componants that are used for alchemy? Just curious :)

Graveoozes: Varying from size vs CR and useable Dc, Paralyse on hit. Useable as throw'able flask/used on weapon.

Essence of Rust: This corrosive residue of  metal can be manipulated and purified by those few that know how, depending on CR of the Rust Being, -X Amoun of Ac for temporary amount of time. When used, the bright orange fluid sets onto the opponents armour making it harder for them to move within the armour, more importantlyy, its more difficult for them to defend themselves.

Flash Powder, no idea for creatures to drop yet, awaiting inspiration, Dc according to CR, Temporary Blindness.

Sonic Blast, the ectoplasm of a shrieking banshee was first discoverd by a daring Alchemist tucked away in the Forgotten Realms, after manyer failed attempt, when he did finally succeed, his excitement got the better of him and he let slip his new creation.
As it plummeted to the ground and he began to utter the words ''Noo-'' that was the final time he ever heard his own voice, what he created was to powerfull. But the Recipe proved usefull and was passed down after their death grandfather finally passed away after years of gibbering. Now most Alchemists know to not make their produces to powerfull, as accidents..do happen.
