Alchemy Gems

Introduced in the Into the Darkness event, Alchemy Gems, which offer an alternative to Life Magic buffs, were created as a result of Hiro, Arcanum Artificer's research, with a little help from Ciandra. The process is described in The New Alchemy. Creation uses Alchemy. Creation is a standard crafting skill check. After crafted, the gems can be given and traded.
Life protection gems can also be acquired through certain quests. See Spell Gems for a list.
== Crafting Steps ==
The ingame text, The New Alchemy, also lists lists the steps necessary to make Alchemy Gems.
=== Creating the Aqua Vitae (Living Water) ===
# Obtain a Crucible from Archmage Zarri ibn Khaybi in Xarabydun at 41.9S, 16.2E
#: Route: From the Town Network, take the west (Gharu'ndim) wing to Xarabydun.
# Use Concentrated Aqua Incanta on a Pyreal Mote, Pyreal Sliver, Pyreal Nugget, Pyreal Bar or Quality Pyreal Ingot to create different amounts of Aqua Vitae.
#: The pyreal dissolves in the aqua incanta enhancing the magic.

#: The potion and the later added Powdered Gem determine the spell type (see Table below)
#: You add the potion to the crucible.
# Use the Crucible with Potion on a Herb to create a Potion and Herb Crucible
#: The Herb determines the level of the spell
#: You add the [herb] to the mixture, successfully predicting the correct timing.
