Tradeskill1 to 200Medicine Bag (Reinforced Medicine Bag for larger recipes)

Alchemy brews potions: buffs like stability and rejuvenation, resist and mana-cost potions, and haste distillates. It levels on herbs combined in a Medicine Bag, working up from lesser potions to the greater versions and distillates.

How Alchemy works

Every combine happens in a Medicine Bag (Reinforced Medicine Bag for larger recipes), found near the tradeskill merchants in most towns. Your Intelligence or Wisdom (whichever is higher) governs your chance to gain a skill point, and a failed combine keeps the container but loses the ingredients, so buy your materials in bulk and expect some waste on the way up.

The wiki lists Alchemy without a class restriction, but classic EverQuest limited it to Shamans, so confirm you can use it in game if you are not one. Larger recipes need the Reinforced Medicine Bag.

Where to get the materials
  • Herbs (Lucerne, Sage Leaf, Fenugreek, Mandrake Root, Yarrow, Figwort). Alchemy and herb suppliers; the wiki does not list exact vendors, so confirm in game.
  • Small Vials and reagents. General goods and alchemy merchants.
