Overview

File:Alchemist.jpg

The Alchemist is a class which optimizes Potion Creation and Homunculus, as well as various other potion-related skills. They are a class which work for the benefit of their friends and strike terror into the hearts of their foes (armor).

Jobchange Guide

See Alchemist Job Change Guide for detailed information.

Changing into an Alchemist from a Merchant requires the player to complete a number of tasks:

• Item Collection
• Written Test
• Transformation Experiment

After completing these tests, the player will be transformed into an Alchemist.

Potion Creation

Manuals and the skill Pharmacy are needed to begin making potions. All of the manuals can be found in Al De Baran Alchemist Guild and all with the exception of the Condensed Potion Manual are 100,000z each (240,000 for the Condensed Potion Manual.) Empty Potion Bottles and Testubes are sold at the Mage guild in Northwest Geffen. Medicine Bowls are also sold in Al De Baran. Scells are sold in the Geffen Tool Shop for 160z each. All other items are monster drops and must be hunted for. Refer to Potion Materials Hunting Guide for a basic idea of where to hunt for these items.

Homunculus System

The Homunculus is a pet that kills, supports, and does stuff for its master. An Embryo, from which a Homunculus will be born, can be created via Prepare Potion with the following materials from the Al De Baran Alchemist guild:

• Dew of Yggdrasil
• Seed of Life
• Glass Tube
• Medicine Bowl
• Potion Creation Guide

Once an Embryo has been created (or purchased from another player), use the skill Call Homunculus to receive 1 of 4 types of Homunculus. The homunculus type you get can be decided via the menu that appears when using Call Homunculus, and they come in two sprite variations (Which variant is created cannot be chosen). Homunculi need to be fed or they will run away. All homunculi eat Pet Food.

See Homunculus System for more information
