A whole bunch of recipes has already appeared on the network, because Clear Liquid Reagent - the liquid reagent in Black Desert - has a certain value - with its help you can do various things. If there is an alchemical table, and skills are pumped, then you can prepare a potion. For example, such that it improves combat skill. Or the speed of movement. Or the amount of experience. And many more. There are short-term, there are long-term.
Why alchemy?
I must say that doing this science will not be easy at first. Because you need a whole bunch of materials extracted in gardening, in agriculture and so on. You will also need contributions so that your workers work, and of course, a storage, where all sorts of things will be stored.
But at the same time, with all this you can make wonderful elixirs, with the help of which abilities are improved, stones, components are made and so on.
The basics
For a player to master the craft of the alchemist, he must know the alchemical materials. But most importantly - he must be able to prepare a liquid reagent in Black Desert, and there is still powder. These two components are very important, because almost all other reagents, potions, essences consist of them. The alchemist must be able to create these blanks, and also know well where to find the components for them.
Why is this necessary?
Many wondered what the properties of the liquid reagent in Black Desert are. Why is he needed at all? Everything is very simple. Many reactions and transformations in alchemy need a catalyst, in fact, a liquid reagent is this catalyst. Most different materials need this regent, as it is part of their composition.
For example, a solvent for metals. Moreover, the recipe is quite simple, even a beginner can make it. Any novice alchemist must memorize a liquid reagent recipe in Black Desert.
What is needed for manufacturing?
To make components, you need a tool. Any vendor will gladly sell this item to you. How to find him? Find a mini-map, there is a window with an NPC nearby. There you need to select the "goods". But the tool can only be put in your residence.
You can locate it in the place where you live, and you can choose any city, however experienced players advise you to prefer Olvia.
This is the very city will be the first where you create your character. What is its plus? Firstly, newspapers devoted to alchemy are published there every day, with the help of which you can get skills. Secondly, there is a storage manager nearby.
By the way, alchemy and cooking have the same button, which is called "Continuous Production". That is, in the cauldron you need to put the ingredients necessary to create one item. Then you just press the button and select the number of repetitions.
Go to the tool, press the R button, right-click the ingredients for one item. Then you click the “Continuously produce” button.
Below is a photograph for cooking, but the process is practically the same for alchemy.
Just enter the required amount, in order to do as much as possible, you should press "F", or "Maximum amount".
Then click “OK” and do as many items as you have enough energy or ingredients.
Necessary items and where to get them
To create a liquid reagent in Black Desert, you need to collect something:
- First, you need one salt.
- Secondly, purified water.
- Thirdly, the grass of dawn, Sunrise Herb, or simply calendula.
- Third, wild grass.
To get purified water, you need to buy an empty bottle from a material supplier. Put it next to the river, and after receiving the river water, it is necessary to process it using the button (L).
However, for each bottle you will need 2 energies - one to get water from the river, the second to cleanse. As you level up, you will receive two purified waters instead of one at random.
Wild grass can be replaced with weeds (from one to five), and the amount depends on your alchemical skill. By collecting wild herbs, you can get a weed, but its rate of loss decreases with an increase in your picking ability.
To get salt, go to the tavern and buy it from the merchant.
You can find calendula with the help of workers from the Kron Castle node east of Heidel.
Either assemble yourself, or try to grow. Taking a hoe, comb a little thicket of grass, and you will definitely find calendula. This recipe is very simple, and even a beginner can bring it to life. By training in the manufacture of this component, you can significantly improve the skills of the alchemist.
If you are too lazy to look for ingredients, and you have money, you can go to the auction and buy everything there.
If you do not want to do alchemy for some reason, then reagents are also sold there.
