Reworked Alchemist’s Path

Get ready to start your journey down The Alchemist’s Path with the completely reworked progression of 6 new story chapters! Complete a whole new set of quests and get valuable experience to upgrade your skills.

Alchemy Machine and Legendary Recipes

Brewing potions is fun and all, but the real challenge starts in the basement of your alchemy shop. Restore the Alchemy Machine left by your predecessor and discover Legendary Recipes such as Nigredo and Void Salt.

• Nigredo is one of the powerful endgame recipes and ingredients that you could craft using the Alchemy Machine. Alongside some other legendary ingredients, it would be of good use to create the mythical Philosopher's Stone. It could also be used as a crafting material for Salts.
• Void Salt is one of the first salts that we introduce to the game today. It will help you to master your brewing skills and create even more perfect potions by adjusting the potion’s path on the alchemy map! Keep in mind that different salts have different effects, but we’ll talk about this later!

Reworked Recipe Book

Organize your potion collection and notes like never before! We have completely reworked your handy book giving it a fresh new look, the ability to reorganize bookmarks manually the way you wish, add new pages to it using the Enchanted Paper, make edits to the old recipes, see its history and much more!

Meet some new customers and merchants

Word is spreading around the area bringing more visitors to your shop! Get to know new villagers with their unique stories and decide for yourself whether you want to lend them a helping hand or not.

Carefully plan your route via the Alchemy Map to combine different effects. Be mindful of common sense: you won’t find a market for a poisonous healing potion… right? Or would you?

Every day customers will come to your store looking for solutions to their problems. You will face consequences depending on what you decide to sell them. Attract guilds, befriend notable figures (or feud with them), gain riches and influence - and one day, you may even decide the fate of the whole town.

Every alchemist needs ingredients. You can buy them from traveling merchants: it can be pricey, but successful haggling may save you some coin. Or you can just grow your own!

Want to give a special appearance to your best potions? Go ahead! Change bottle shape, label type, icon, and colors. You can even give it a custom name and label description. Carefully arrange your unique potions to showcase them on your shop’s shelves and tables… or carelessly throw them around - we’re not gonna tell you what to do, just have fun!
