Potion Creation

In order to create potions, an Alchemist needs a specific type of manual, the skill Prepare Potion and different types of materials. Potions are a type of usable item typically used to aid players in surviving or attacking. Players also brew potions for sale to other players especially since lightweight condensed potions are not sold in NPC shops. While not strictly a consumable potion, the potion creation skill is used to create an embryo from which a homunculus is obtained. 
== Formula ==
Potion creation math is still disputed; however, the following equation appears to be most accurate at the moment:
{| class="wikitablec"	Level	Base Brewing Rate
1 	3% 	
2 	6% 	
3 	9% 	
4 	12% 	
5 	15% 	
6 	18% 	
7 	21% 	
8 	24% 	
9 	27% 	
10	30% 	
 Brewing Rate = [(PreparePotion_Lv × 3) + (PotionResearch_Lv) + (InstructionChange_Lv) + (JobLv × 0.2) + (DEX × 0.1) + (LUK × 0.1) + (INT × 0.05) + Potion_Rate]%
:
Potion Rate	Potion
+15% ~ +25%	Red Potion, Yellow Potion, White Potion
+5% ~ +15% 	Alcohol
-5% ~ +5% 	Acid Bottle, Marine Sphere Bottle, Bottle Grenade, Plant Bottle
-5% 	Blue Potion, Anodyne, Aloevera, Embryo, Elemental Potions, Condensed Red Potion
-10% ~ -5% 	Condensed Yellow Potion
-15% ~ -5% 	Condensed White Potion, Glistening Coat
== Potion Materials ==

== Fame System ==
For Brewers there is a system in which players are ranked based on who can create the most potions.
* Rank Point +1: 3 Condensed Potions created without failure in a row.
* Rank Point +3: 5 Condensed Potions created without failure in a row.
* Rank Point +10: 7 Condensed Potions created without failure in a row.
* Rank Point +50: 10 Condensed Potions created without failure in a row. 
* A fully successful brew from Spiritual Potion Creation 2 will grant 1280 points.
Alchemist ranks can be checked via usage of the /alchemist command ingame. Potions made by an Alchemist class player who is in the top 10 list will receive a 50% bonus to their efficacy. This does not apply to potions used through Aid Potion or Aid Condensed Potion.
== Item Look & Feel ==
*When a potion is brewed successfully, its name will have the brewer's name attached.
:
*Normally the brewer's name will appear in blue. However, if the character that brewed the item has been deleted, the brewer's name is lost, and their items become Nameless.
