The ALCHEMY verb allows for the use of the alchemy guild skills. There are several options for this verb, which allow for the completion of various tasks required for alchemy. Skills available through this verb include Examine, Seal, Boil, Simmer, Chant, Distill, Extract, Infuse, Refract, and Channel.

Note that the effects of Haste (506) are ignored by all variations of the ALCHEMY verb.

Taught at Starting Ranks of Alchemy

ALCHEMY EXAMINE
Allows a character to examine the alchemical properties of an ingredient.
ALCHEMY BOIL
Used to boil the ingredients within the cauldron. Used as an intermediate step in many recipes.
ALCHEMY SIMMER
Used to simmer the ingredients within the cauldron. Used as an intermediate step in many recipes.
ALCHEMY SEAL
Used to complete the recipe.
ALCHEMY CHANT
Used to include a spell in the recipe. The spell must be known to the alchemist. (This results in many alchemy recipes being profession-specific.)

Taught at Advanced Ranks of Alchemy

ALCHEMY EXTRACT
Used to produce intermediate ingredients. Must be done in one of the alchemy workrooms. Eligible items include any item skinned from a troll, ayanad crystal (and its variants), vials of sea water, and a few others.
Taught at rank 15, General Alchemy
ALCHEMY DISTILL
Used to produce intermediate ingredients. Must be done in one of the alchemy workrooms. However, at present it can only be used on the flasks of clear water from the guild shop, and produces a flask of pure water. This is good for drinking but has no alchemy use.
Taught at rank 15, General Alchemy
ALCHEMY INFUSE
Used to infuse mana into ingredients. This will slowly drain mana in several bursts over a short hard roundtime.
Taught at rank 30, General Alchemy
