Core Alchemy Products
Alchemists craft highly sought-after items used by nearly every player in the game:
- Consumables: Potions for HP/Mana, Buff Scrolls (Speed, Critical Hit, Healing), and Wind Serums.
- Magical Weapons: Spellbooks for Sorcerers and Orbs for Spiritmasters, tailored for mage-type classes.
- Enhancements: Crafting Manastones to improve gear perks and Arcana Cards for combat boosts.
Crafting Process
Although the exact UI for Aion 2 crafting isn't fully available, the general process is:
- Gathering Materials: Collect items like herbs, aether, and gems through gathering professions.
- Selecting a Recipe: Choose what to craft from your list of known Alchemy designs.
- Crafting Output: Use your gathered materials to craft the item. If successful, the materials are consumed and the item is created.
Crafting may involve chain crafting and success chances, meaning higher-tier items could require multiple attempts or a "critical" crafting success.
How to Level Alchemy
Leveling in Aion 2 follows a tiered system: Amateur, Novice, Apprentice, and Journeyman.
- Work Orders: These are tasks given by trainers, asking you to craft specific items in exchange for materials and experience.
- Substance Morphing: Use the "Substance Morph" screen (Alt + H) to transform universal materials like Aether into specific Alchemy ingredients.
- RNG and Procs: Crafting works in a tree structure. To craft higher-tier items (like Blue or Orange quality), you'll need to "proc" (critically succeed) when crafting lower-tier versions of the item.
Essential Materials
To progress in Alchemy, make sure to gather these key materials:
- Magic Crystals and Spiritstone Powder: Base materials used for many recipes.
- Elemental Stones: Dropped by mobs or crafted via basic recipes. These are needed for "Elemental Water" intermediaries.
- Gem Powders: Ruby, Sapphire, and Diamond powders are essential for crafting higher-level magical gear.
