Alchemist Quest

Brotherhood of Alchemists

Various alchemists around Maj'Eyal are competing to gain entry into the great Brotherhood of Alchemists, and are offering powerful rewards to any adventurer who assists them in their quest.

Speaking to any of the four alchemists found in Maj'Eyal will allow the player to open the quest and choose an elixir to gather ingredients for. It is possible to have one quest open from each of the four alchemists simultaneously.

Each potion requires the player to gather three ingredients (monster parts), which may be found by killing a monster of the appropriate type. Monsters always drop their ingredient if they have one. Roaming adventurers also have a chance (which was 30% before the ingredients update) to drop an ingredient upon death. If they do, they drop an ingredient randomly selected from the entire list of possible ingredients. (There are 36, as of build b41.)

Upon turning in the requested ingredients, the player receives the corresponding elixir, which must then be (u)sed to reap its benefits. Each time the player helps one alchemist complete an elixir, another alchemist completes one of his or her elixirs as well (chosen at random). Depending on which elixirs the player completes and which are randomly selected to be completed by other alchemists, it is possible to complete between three and five elixirs with a single character before one of the four alchemists finishes their third elixir, and the quest ends.

Todo: At the very least, it would be nice to know what areas the hermit spawns in (I've seen him in three locations: north of the Sandworm den, down one river in mid-Maj'Eyal, and somewhere up north), what each elixir does, and how the quest progresses as you get more elixirs (not sure myself, having not completed it yet.)

All the stats are added to your adjusted stat. Ie. it doesn't raise your maximum too.

A lopsided, heavy emerald with murky green clouds shifting sluggishly under the surface. Infused by nature. 0.00 Encumbrance

The Lifebinding Emerald is a green gem that may be worn (by mindslayers and golems only, currently) or used to imbue an object for the following benefits:

Note: Can only be imbued onto a tier 5 ring? Needs confirmation. -I'm quite certain this is correct. HousePet (talk)

Taint of Telepathy

Strip the protective barriers from your mind, allowing in the thoughts of all creatures, but reducing mental resistance.

powered by arcane forces (no anti-magic)

Cooldown: 15 Use time: 1 turn

The Taint of Telepathy is an inscription that improves the player's mindpower by 35 and lowers their mental save by 10 for 10 turns. In addition, the player is given a Track effect for 5 turns, allowing them to detect all creatures in a radius of 10.

Infusion of Wild Growth

Thick vines to spring from the ground and entangle your foes, pinning them in place and dealing damage over time. Cooldown: 30

The Infusion of Wild Growth is an inscription that grants the player the ability to pin all targets within a radius of five to the ground for five turns. In addition, these targets are dealt a modest amount of physical and nature damage each turn. This damage scales with the player's mindpower.
