Starter item
Alchemist Flask, Mushroom, Thorn, Flower, Sleep Splash Potion, Heal Potion, Time Bomb Potion, Poison Potion
Abilities
Alchemist Flask
The Alchemist can buy alchemist flasks from the Item Shop for 10 Iron each, which are used to brew various potions, given that the right ingredients are used. They can only hold 3 ingredients maximum.
Foraging
Three ingredients, flowers, mushrooms, and thorns, will spawn around the map and can only be seen and picked up by the Alchemist. Walking over them will pick up the ingredients. They will be lost upon death, but can be dropped and put in chests.
Potions
To brew a potion, the Alchemist must hold a flask, and according to the recipe, click the ingredients buttons in the correct order. making a recipe correctly will use up the flask but grant the potion, whereas invalid ingredient and/or order causes the potion to do not brew, and return to the inventory. The type of ingredients in the flask when it starts brewing will determine the type of potion brewed. Order does matter.
