Overview
The Alchemist is a class which optimizes
Potion Creation× and
Homunculus, as well as various other potion-related skills. They are a class which work for the benefit of their friends and strike terror into the hearts of their foes (armor).
Jobchange Guide
Changing into an Alchemist from a
Merchant requires the player to complete a number of tasks:
- Item Collection
- Written Test
- Transformation Experiment
After completing these tests, the player will be transformed into an Alchemist.
Builds
Contemplate what each stat does before beginning to build an Alchemist. The following are general ideas of potential builds.
INT Brewer
LUK Brewer
- STR: 1
- AGI: 1
- VIT: 1
- INT: 45
- DEX: 85 or 99
- LUK: 85 or 99
This has one of the highest success rates for potion creation but requires a lot of leeching or a lot of AFKing with a Homunculus. LUK may be preferable to DEX as most Gypsies and
Minstrels have high DEX but do not have any LUK. Thus, when Marionette Control is used with this build, the Alchemist will receive a significant boost in DEX from the
Gypsy or Minstrel, and the Alchemist's own LUK will further increase success rates for brewing.
AGI Battle
High STR (remember to make the total a multiple of 10), high AGI, moderate or low VIT, and Moderate DEX This is a soloing or
Blacksmith party build which allows for easy soloing. However, potions will not heal too well and HP may be lacking.
VIT Battle
High STR (remember to make the total a multiple of 10), moderate or low AGI, high VIT, and moderate DEX Get as much STR as possible and a small amount of AGI for some
ASPD×. Overall this is a build which relies on mobbing and
Cart Revolution×. This also works as a
WoE×/
PvP× build due to the hefty VIT. Players who choose this build will have fun destroying armor.
MvP
High STR (remember to make the total a multiple of 10 and yes this is important), moderate AGI, moderate or high VIT/DEX It is difficult to compete at MVPs with an Alchemist. A Blacksmith is required to
Adrenaline Rush×. Use an Axe for large MVPs and spam
Mammonite×. A very large amount of DEX is required to hit many MVPs. Being coated is also necessary at MVPs such as Eddga, to avoid having armor broken.
WoE Support
Moderate STR, low AGI, high VIT, moderate INT, high DEX, and low LUK The main purpose of this build is to throw potions at guildmates and Acid at enemies. The high DEX and VIT allows for fast casting of
Acid Terror× and high potion healing, respectively. Not much STR is really needed.
Spellsword (AGI/Caster)
High/moderate AGI, INT and DEX, low/none VIT and STR This build was very popular during the time when alchemist skills could be controlled by Homunculus
AI×. This was changed in early 2008. It was meant for AFK leveling in orc dungeon level 2, relying on Agi for defense, while the player's Homunculus controlled use of Firebolt/Coldbolt granted by the Ice Falchion or Fireblend weapon (hence the int in the build). This build became good again with some new cards
Imp Card
and
Siroma Card
, using two siromas or two imps the cast time is reduced by half and the damage inflicted is raised in 50%, that really elevates the dps of the character.
Equipment
Weapons
The weapon used is primarily based upon one's build. For example, an Alechemist prioritizing AGI and ASPD should generally use Sabers. Those preferring to maximize damage are better suited with Axes. The following is a listing of the most common weapons and why they are beneficial.
The Saber, a type of One-Handed Sword, is one of the most common weapons amongst battle Alchemists primarily due to the relatively low ASPD delay as well as the benefit of 3 slots while maintaining high
ATK×. The biggest drawback to this weapon is that the player will be unable to benefit from having a Blacksmith partner, which is relatively rare.
Because of the skill
Axe Mastery×, it is evident that one will be able to bring out optimal damage from an Axe. However, Axes have a large ASPD delay, which means they whack slow but hard. On the postive side, players using Axes can not only benefit from Axe Mastery but also a Blacksmith partner. Similarily, Two-Handed Axes have the largest ATK of weapons forgable by Blacksmiths, making them the best choice for elemental weapons. However, the limitations of Card Slots and/or ASPD means players should really study these weapons before making a full investment.
Light Epsilon - Axe that allows the use of Level 3
Heal×.
• Lv Req. 44 • Atk 180 • Holy Property • Demon Bonus Dmg 3%
Fireblend : Sword that allows the use of level 3
Fire Bolt×
• Lv Req. 40 • Atk 100 •
Fire Property • Chance of using Lv 3 Fire Bolt automatically while attacking without the use of SP.
Ice Falchion : Sword that allows the use of level 3
Cold Bolt×
• Lv Req. 40 • Atk 100 •
Water Property • Chance of using Lv 3 Cold Bolt automatically while attacking without the use of SP
• 5% Chance of freezing opponent while Attacking. • 1% Chance of getting frozen while attacking.
Tomahawk : Axe that allows the use of level 1 Tomahawk Throwing
• Lv Req. 44 • Atk 165 • Wind Property
The first three of the above weapons are beneficial for INT built Alchemists and Brewers.
Armor
Remember to avoid basing builds on any particular armor, specifically one that occupies the headgear or body slots. This allows for more versatile characters that can easily change these armors for an array of benefits.
This is particularly a good armor for those who have
Priests because they can share the gear between characters while maintaining decent
DEF×. However, to optimize Alchemist DEF, Chain Mails are much better.
• Lv Req. 01 • Weight 060 • Defense +6 • Mdef +5
A readily available piece of armor which offers some of the best DEF. Players who plan on having their Alchemist as their main character should have one or two of these sufficiently upgraded and carded.
• Lv Req. 01 • Weight 330 • Defense +8
The best, most expensive, and hardest to find armor for Alchemist. It has the same DEF as the Chain Mail, and it weights considerably less. The only drawback of this wonderful armor is the level requirement.
• Lv Req. 70 • Weight 250 • Defense +8 • Mdef +5 • Int +1
Garment
A Muffler is probably a player's first choice of a carded armor for the shoulders if and only if the player lacks the funds and has other characters. Mufflers can be worn by most classes. For optimizing DEF however, one should use a Manteau. 2 of the most wanted cards for Manteaus and Mufflers are Whisper and Raydric.
The Pauldron is recommended only when you have lots of money. Since you only get a slight boost on the DEF, you don't really need to get it. Specially since the Required level for it is 80. But if you have the money, the level and want the extra Def, Go for it!
Foot Gear
A pair of Shoes are a cheaper effective foot gear for most players and most classes can wear shoes. However, to optimize DEF one should use Boots. There are several types of cards for shoes.
Homunculus System
The Homunculus is a pet that kills, supports, and does stuff for its master. An Embryo, from which a Homunculus will be born, can be created via Prepare Potion with the following materials from the Al De Baran Alchemist guild:
Once an Embryo has been created (or purchased from another player), use the skill Call Homunculus to receive 1 of 4 types of Homunculus. The Homunculus received is random, and each type has two sprite variations. Much like pets, Homunculi need to be fed or they will run away.
