Overview

Alchemy Gems, which offer an alternative to Life Magic buffs, were created as a result of Hiro, Arcanum Artificer's research, with a little help from Ciandra. The process is described in The New Alchemy. Creation uses Alchemy. Creation is a standard crafting skill check. After crafted, the gems can be given and traded.

General Crafting Steps

Route: Take the Xarabydun portal in Yaraq
Use Concentrated Aqua Incanta on a Pyreal Mote, Pyreal Sliver, Pyreal Nugget, Pyreal Bar or Quality Pyreal Ingot to create different amounts of Aqua Vitae

Use the Crucible on different Spell Potions to create a Crucible with Potion
