View source for Potion Creation

In order to '''create potions''', an [[Alchemist]] needs a specific type of manual, the skill [[Prepare Potion]] and different types of materials. Potions are a type of usable item typically used to aid players in surviving or attacking.  Players also brew potions for sale to other players especially since lightweight condensed potions are not sold in NPC shops.  While not strictly a consumable potion, the potion creation skill is used to create an embryo from which a homunculus is obtained. 

== Formula ==
Potion creation math is still disputed; however, the following equation appears to be most accurate at the moment:

== Potion Materials ==
Manuals are items needed to create potions. They can be purchased from the '''Alchemist Guild''' in [[Al de Baran]], except for the {{item|id=7434 Elemental Potion Creation Guide}}, which is obtained through a [[Bioethics_Quest#Resistance_Potions_Guide_Quest|quest]]. Note that the {{item|id=7134 Medicine Bowl}} is not an actual ingredient, but a catalyst for [[Prepare Potion]].

== Fame System ==
For Brewers there is a system in which players are ranked based on who can create the most potions.
* '''Rank Point +1''': 3 Condensed Potions created without failure in a row.
* '''Rank Point +3''': 5 Condensed Potions created without failure in a row.
* '''Rank Point +10''': 7 Condensed Potions created without failure in a row.
* '''Rank Point +50''': 10 Condensed Potions created without failure in a row. 

[[Alchemist]] ranks can be checked via usage of the <code>/alchemist</code> command ingame. Potions made by an [[Alchemist]] class player who is in the top 10 list will receive a 50% bonus to their efficacy. This does not apply to potions used through [[Aid Potion]] or [[Aid Condensed Potion]].

== Item Look & Feel ==
*When a potion is brewed successfully, its name will have the brewer's name attached.
:{{Item List |id=501 |item=<span style="color:blue;">Fay</span>'s Red Potion |simple=y}}
*Normally the brewer's name will appear in blue. However, if the character that brewed the item has been deleted, the brewer's name is lost, and their items become Nameless.
:{{Item List |id=501 |item=<span style="color:red;">Nameless</span>'s Red Potion |simple=y}}
