The second version of the Alchemy pot. Due of the changes made to make Alchemy more accessible, this design is the default one in the 3DS Version, with the original one being only visible in the introductory cutscene.

Alchemy becomes available once the Hero and the rest of the party reaches Peregrin Quay, thanks to Trode repairing the Alchemy Pot during the sea trip.

While at first, only two ingredients can be combined together, eventually the pot will be upgraded by Trode to handle three materials at once after the Pickham incident.

Success in Alchemy is key to getting some of the most powerful equipment available, so it's worth a go, however time-consuming.

While most recipes can be discovered from hints from people, inside books, or just by experimenting, there are four recipes that appear as notes dropped on the floor, as part of a game of hide-and-seek proposed by the armor shop merchant of Farebury; not only these notes are barely visible, they only appear in hard to find places after certain story events, and are furthermore, since they are not technically counted as items, not signalated by the Nose for Treasure skill. These four recipes are:

The armor shop merchant of Farebury will offer an hint to where to find the next recipe note, if spoken to after the necessary story events have been achieved; however, he will skip any previous hints, if multiple progression prerequisites have already been achieved, meaning that he will only speak about the most recently available recipe note. The 3DS version makes these notes slighty more easily findable, thanks to the balloon of interaction popping out when near them.
