Subject: Alchemy Recipes Updates

A large number of Alchemy recipes has been updated.

The core of this update addresses the difficulty of collecting the large numbers of gems requried for training Potions and Trinkets skills. The majority of Alchemy recipes that previously used whole gems have been changed to use powdered versions of the same gem.

Additionally, the Alchemy shops in pure guilds will now stock a selection of powdered gems for sale. The gems available in a given guild are dependant on realm, and the requirements that profession has. If there are powdered gems that seem to be missing, and yet required in an Alchemy recipe, please post here and I will be happy to look into it.

Along with this update, the previously missed changes to Minor Spiritual recipes should now be live, including boil or simmer in many recipes that lacked either before.

As usual, ASK the skilled masters in your local guild hall to UPDATE your recipes books to have any recipes you have written updated.

The following recipes have been adjusted to be taught at rank 50 and to include the CHANNEL process to support training at and beyond rank 50 in the Trinkets skill. All players will be assigned to see a skilled master at rank 50 in Trinkets to receive one of these recipes. Skilled masters will update old versions of these recipes in recipe tomes as usual.

a blue crystal

The recipe given is as follows: add crystalline solution, add stargazer lily, simmer, add powdered snake-head cowrie shell, infuse mana, add 2 doses of golem bone from bone golems, boil, channel lifeforce and chant the Spirit Strike spell.

The recipe given is as follows: add crystalline solution, add stargazer lily, simmer, add powdered pale water sapphire, infuse mana, add 2 doses of golem bone from bone golems, boil, channel lifeforce and chant the Spirit Strike spell.

a slender mithril wand

The recipe given is as follows: add crystalline solution, add tufted hawk-owl ear from giant hawk-owls, boil, add powdered turquoise stone, simmer, add s'ayanad crystal, infuse mana, add mithril dust, channel lifeforce and chant the Major Shock spell.

The recipe given is as follows: add crystalline solution, add 4 doses of shelfae crest from shelfae chieftains, boil, add powdered turquoise stone, simmer, add s'ayanad crystal, infuse mana, add mithril dust, channel lifeforce and chant the Major Shock spell.

Additionally, to address the same issue in the Potions skill, a new recipe has been added at rank 50 for Wizard and Sorcerer. A similar recipe is forthcoming for Clerics and Empaths. All players will be assigned to visit the skilled masters at rank 50 in Potions to receive this recipe.

a glowing brilliant silver potion

The recipe given is as follows: add water, add 3 doses of ayana leaf, simmer, add 3 doses of centaur hide from centaurs, boil, add powdered yellow sapphire, infuse mana, add t'ayanad crystal, channel lifeforce and chant the Mass Elemental Defense spell.

Again, this issue remains OPEN for Clerics and Empaths at or beyond rank 50 in Potions, but a recipe is currently in the works. Hopefully, we'll have it for you ASAP. :)

Ayanad Crystals Galore (2/2008)

Alchemists of sufficient rank to infuse mana into their solutions (rank 30 general alchemy) will find three new recipes that should help them (and others) progress through general alchemy.

Each of these three recipes effectively takes one type of ayanad crystal and uses it to produce two crystals of the next lower tier through a bit of time and coin.

Each recipe is structured as follows: add crystalline solution, add an essence shard, *, infuse mana.

The asterisk (*) in the recipe is replaced with the dust that is extracted from a given type of ayanad crystal. Faintly shimmering dust has been introduced as an extract of n'ayanad crystals, while faintly radiant and glowing dusts remain extracts of t'ayanad and s'ayanad crystals respectively. Fainly glimmering dust from ayanad crystals yields nothing of use.

To reiterate, the three new recipes are as follows:

ayanad: add crystalline solution, add an essence shard, add faintly glowing dust, infuse mana

s'ayanad: add crystalline solution, add an essence shard, add faintly radiant dust, infuse mana

t'ayanad: add crystalline solution, add an essence shard, add faintly shimmering dust, infuse mana

Again, these recipes yield a cluster of two crystals on tier lower than the crystal used to create them. Clusters may be separated by using either of the following syntaxes:

GET {item} FROM {cluster}

-or-

GET {number} {cluster}

As an example, if you create "a cluster of ayanad crystals", you can use either "GET CRYSTAL FROM CRYSTALS" or "GET 1 CRYSTALS" to remove a single crystal from the cluster. Lose crystals cannot be added into existing clusters, or clustered together with other loose crystals.

These recipes are considered rank 30 recipes for training purposes, and can be used as 'tough' recipes. With these recipes in place, the recipe for essence shards has been reduced in effective rank.

Yes, a single n'ayanad crystal can effectively be used for eight (8) 'tough' infuse reps, yeilding a total of eight (8) ayanad crystals.
