Alchemy Gems

Introduced in the Into the Darkness event, Alchemy Gems, which offer an alternative to Life Magic buffs, were created as a result of Hiro, Arcanum Artificer's research, with a little help from Ciandra. The process is described in The New Alchemy. Creation uses Alchemy. Creation is a standard crafting skill check. After crafted, the gems can be given and traded.

Life protection gems can also be acquired through certain quests. See Spell Gems for a list.

Crafting Steps
The ingame text, The New Alchemy, also lists lists the steps necessary to make Alchemy Gems.

Creating the Aqua Vitae (Living Water)

 * 1) Obtain a Crucible from Archmage Zarri ibn Khaybi in Xarabydun at 41.9S, 16.2E
 * Route: From the Town Network, take the west (Gharu'ndim) wing to Xarabydun.
 * 1) Use Concentrated Aqua Incanta on a Pyreal Mote, Pyreal Sliver, Pyreal Nugget, Pyreal Bar or Quality Pyreal Ingot to create different amounts of Aqua Vitae.
 * The pyreal dissolves in the aqua incanta enhancing the magic.

Creating the Mixtures to use with the Aqua Vitae

 * 1) Use the Crucible on different Spell Potions to create a Crucible with Potion
 * The potion and the later added Powdered Gem determine the spell type (see Table below)
 * You add the potion to the crucible.
 * 1) Use the Crucible with Potion on a Herb to create a Potion and Herb Crucible
 * The Herb determines the level of the spell
 * You add the [herb] to the mixture, successfully predicting the correct timing.
 * Eyebright - Level III - Lesser Alchemy Gems - Final Crafting Difficulty At 50%: 125
 * Henbane - Level IV - Alchemy Gems - Final Crafting Difficulty At 50%: 175
 * Amaranth - Level V - Improved Alchemy Gems - Final Crafting Difficulty At 50%: 225
 * Frankincense - Level VI - Greater Alchemy Gems - Final Crafting Difficulty At 50%: 275
 * Hyssop - Level VII - Adept's Alchemy Gems - Final Crafting Difficulty At 50%: 325
 * 1) Use Aqua Vitae on the Potion and Herb Crucible to create a Treated Potion and Herb Crucible
 * You add the aqua vitae to the mix, the formula bubbles and appears ready for application to a crushed powder.
 * 1) Use the Treated Potion and Herb Crucible on a Powdered Gem to create two Alchemy Gems.
 * The powder congeals into a gem-like substance. The process is a success!


 * Failing any of the skill checks destroys the mixture.
 * You fail to time the cibation correctly and fail the process.
 * You fail to surmise the correct time for cibation and ruin the mixture.
 * The process was an utter failure, leaving you with a messy mass of mush to show for your efforts.
