[SPOILERS] Potion recipes

[Ichthyic]

OK, so there's a spell compendium, figured it would be a good idea to start one for potions/bombs.

obviously no need for single ingredient recipes, so will start with the ones that take 2 ingredients:

requires alchemy 5:

-willpower (Permanent +1 increase to willpower): Crystal Flower + Etherweed
-strength (perm. +1 strength): Crystal Flower + Blooddrop Cap
-vitality (perm. +1 vitality): Crystal Flower + Mudwort
-dexterity (perm. +1 dexterity): crystal flower + Falconskrye

not sure of alchemy require (less than 5 anyway; probably 2 or 4):

-antivenom (cures poison/ or poison resist?): blooddrop cap + mudwort (level 2)
-antidote (cures disease) etherweed + mudwort (level 2)
-potion of bear form (yes, it turns you into a bear! - very good if you find your front line down and you need some heavy melee): mudwort +falconskrye (level 4?)
-shield (like the mage spell; boosts your armor rating by quite a lot): mudwort + etherweed (level 2)
-rage (like the mino ability, but at will!): booddrop cap + falconskrye (requires alchemy 4)

I have yet to figure out any pots that take more than two ingredients, nor what the recipes for bombs are. Feel free to add them.

The big thing I think we need to learn is how the alchemists herb duping works.

I.e. Can you get control what gets duplicated? Or is it best to just keep everything on him.

Yeah drop all but what you want to dupe on anther character. It seems that every X (which seems semi random) moves you get 1 herb randomly picked from herbs you have in your pack. I've not really seen a drop in growth rate if I have all the herbs on my alchemist or only 1 herb on my alchemist.

Though more testing would need to be done as this is just what I have noticed in normal play.

I keep at least one of every herb on my alchemist, and I notice that the upper tier materials, namely crystal and Blackmoss grow much less frequently then blooddrop. If it really is random, seems like its biased at least in my opinion,

Yeah someone will either have to spy in the code or do a lot of testing with the editor before we have a really good idea how it functions.

Spawning and carrying a stack of 500000 falconskyre didn't improve the growth rate for me - in fact, the first thing to grow was an etherweed.

Yeah I honestly believe from my play time that basically it goes Wait RNG steps then just picks a random herb in your pack and dupes it. I am fairly sure it is not counting stacks and doing any weight checks between rare or common herbs. Just RNG steps Pick RNG herb Make Dupe repeat.

But I could be wrong this is just how it feels for me. And when I am low on herbs I want I just offload all by the herb I need to another party member for awhile.
