Alchemy Gems were introduced during the Into the Darkness event and offer an alternative to Life Magic buffs. Pyreal Motes combined with Vials of Concentrated Aqua Incanta produce a new substance called Aqua Vitae. By using a crucible to mix common herbs, potions and powders with the aqua vitae, alchemists can create a full set of life magic protections gems from levels III to VI. Rengeration, Rejuvenation and Mana Renewal may also be produced!

To receive a guide, visit Ciandra, the Arcanum Alchemist, in the Xarabuydun Consortium.

Shortcut: To get to Xarabydun, take the Monument Sands settlement portal from Al-Arqas (33.6S, 132.E). It will drop you at 37.9S, 16.0E. From there it's a short run to the Consortium.

Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist tells you, "I haven't been this excited since we discovered the Temples of Enlightenment and Forgetfullness! I was able to get some of my thoughts on paper, but the most important pieces were in front of us all along. Pyreal motes and Aqua Incanta -- who would have ever known?"
Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist gives you The New Alchemy.
Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist tells you, "In this book you'll learn the very basics. Thanks to Hiro supplying the crucible, a discovery that he simply grumbles about, we're now able to brew potent magical concoctions that can be turned into solid forms, much like what the Lugians are able to do. Visit Zarri ibn Khaybi to buy your crucible. Good luck!"
