Introduced in the Into the Darkness event, 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.
Life protection gems can also be acquired through certain quests. See Spell Gems for a list.
Crafting Steps
The ingame text, The New Alchemy, also lists lists the steps necessary to make Alchemy Gems.

- The potion and the later added Powdered Gem determine the spell type (see Table below)
- You add the potion to the crucible.
- Use the Crucible with Potion on a Herb to create a Potion and Herb Crucible
- The Herb determines the level of the spell
- You add the [herb] to the mixture, successfully predicting the correct timing.

- Use the Treated Potion and Herb Crucible on a Powdered Gem to create two Alchemy Gems.
- The powder congeals into a gem-like substance. The process is a success!
- Failing any of the skill checks destroys the mixture.
