Lore
Masters of Science and Nature, the devilish and the divine, alchemists ensure their livelihood through the transmogrification of mundane materials into wondrous waters─from curative concoctions to potent potables.
The Ul'dahn school only recently came to be recognized in scientific circles as a valid branch of alchemical orthodoxy. It is based on fundamental principles originating in the Near East tradition, but draws heavily upon esoteric elements of both Lalafellin herbalism and Miqo'te occultism as well.
General Information
Alchemist is a Disciple of the Hand (crafting class) that transforms materials into potions and elixirs. For example, Alchemists can create consumables such as potions, ethers, elixirs, stat buffs, status cures and status inducers. They can also make wands for conjurers, books for arcanists, and much more.
Any player with at least one level 10 Disciple of War or Magic is eligible to become an Alchemist. To begin, head to the Alchemist's Guild located in Ul'dah and speak with the receptionist to start your first quest.
