Online RPG, Fantasy Game, Free MMORPG DarkSwords : Articles : Alchemy

Alchemy in Dark Swords allows extensive opportunities to modifying the weapon and equipment, creating elixirs, and other processes. Most of these processes are done with the help of a recipe - a scroll which lists the required components and the end result. The recipe itself, in most of the cases, is also a part of the alchemical process. Main places for any alchemist can be considered Scribe shops, where recipes can be bought, and Laboratories, where the alchemical work is done/

You can read the contents of the scroll by right-clickign on it in the inventory, and selecting the "Read" option. To complete the alchemical reaction, you need to open the laboratory window, then place the required amount of items on the laboratory table, set the correct amount of recipes you want to make, while all required items must be in character's inventory. After that, all you need to do is click the "Brew" button, and if all the components are present and available, you will get the end desired result. It has to be noted that some of the recipes are quite complicated and require multiple specific items. Below is a list of such items.
