Interesting fact: if you brush some dust off a corpse and grind it just a little finer, and you get one of the most explosive substances known to man!

General

Alchemy is a crafting skill that can be used by alchemists. By combining reagents the alchemist can brew potions of various types, such as heal, cure and agility potions.

Using a potion incurs a 1 second global cooldown before using another potion, including the same or another type of potion.

There is a global Potion Cooldown time of 1 second in addition to some specific potions having a separate (longer) cooldown.

Potion Type	Cooldown (old)	Cooldown (new)
Global	2s	1s
Explosion	30s	15s
Cure	15s	7s
Refresh	30s	15s
Heal	10s	10s

Training

The most cost effective means of training Alchemy is as follows:

• 0-30: Skill Trainer
• 30-57: Regular Poison (2 Nightshade) (57 is a rough end point - you'll generally finish your second full keg at 56-59 skill) Note: this is a more cost-effective option compared to Lesser Intelligence at 1 ginseng as Regular Poison can be sold to players training Poisoning.
• 57-85: Greater Poison (3 Nightshade)
• 85-100: Invisibility Potion (3 Garlic)

Macroing

Several custom commands relating to potions are required to macro Alchemy (and Poisoning).

Potion resource names are in this format: TypePotionStrength. For example HealPotionLesser, HealPotion, HealPotionGreater, CurePotionLesser, and so forth.

Therefore, create a custom command called useresource CurePotionLesser and drag it to your hotbar to begin making a macro to drink a lesser cure potion.
