Alchemical Ingredients
- One way to use ingredients is simply to eat them. When you do, you have a chance (based on your Alchemy skill and Luck attribute) of "successfully" eating the ingredient, meaning that you will get its first effect.
The other way to use ingredients is to equip a mortar & pestle item and combine ingredients into potions (see page 40 of the manual). As with eating ingredients, success depends on your Alchemy skill level and Luck attribute. The effects that the created potion will have are all the effects that two or more of your ingredients have. For instance, if you made a potion from Luminous Russula and Kwama Cuttle, your potion would have the Water Breathing and Drain Fatigue effects.
NOTE: Ingredients such as Corprusmeat that have all negative effects are not listed. Also, rare ingredients like Meteor Slime that have exactly the same effects as a common ingredient (Scrib Jelly, in that case) aren't listed.
