Draconic Realms Gaming researched foundation. Not a personally tested build. Numbers, point allocations, damage claims and installed-version compatibility are withheld until verified.
Equipment direction
Select equipment that complements your chosen combat approach and survivability needs. No single armor school is mandatory for an alchemy setup.
Earlier-version skills to check in the current tree: Acquired Tolerance, Heightened Tolerance, Protective Coating, Refreshment, and Synergy. Verify their current descriptions before choosing allocations.
Preparation checklist
- Read the Bestiary and choose a suitable oil.
- Choose consumables for the encounter rather than drinking every available potion.
- Check toxicity and keep a recovery plan.
- Replenish supplies before accepting another difficult contract.
For a reusable pre-contract routine, see Before You Hunt: A Preparation Checklist.
Combat steps
- Prepare first: oil applied, potions chosen, toxicity checked.
- Use controlled sword attacks while your selected effects support the fight.
- Move defensively rather than trading hits.
- Reassess after each exchange and use your recovery plan when needed.
Progression advice
Start with a few recipes and effects you understand, then expand. Read each alchemy skill’s description in your installed version before spending points on it.
