Devil's Rise
/ Devil's Rise 110 Ah Pills & Potions
I wonder how my lovable kitten and my perverted ghost are doing? Hopefully, they aren't getting into too much trouble with me away.
If Soulless knew what Jax was doing with his banner, he would cough up blood. He'd be proud of Jurrath's domination of those pitiful halflings though.
I woke up the next day feeling refreshed. My mind was clear, and I now had a logical goal to chase. I opened up 'Alchemy of The Lost Ones' and read over the chapter of drug concocting.
Drug concocting or compounding is the art of creating a customized preparation of a medicine. You can produce your drugs in various forms; pills, capsules, potions, ointments, suppositories, lozenges, ect. Most alchemists choose one form to specialize in their drug concoctions, due in part to the necessity of keeping costs down and profits up.
Most times this will be proper, unless you get a client that can't take pills, for example, like the elderly or children. Some have trouble with a specific form of a drug, and in order to give them a form they can take, we have to customize it. They may even have allergies to certain additives or excipients are common in the market medication.
For new alchemists, I suggest only learning the common form of pills and potions until reaching the rank of Violet Alchemist. A finished product like a pill can only look one way, no matter who creates it, but two people can make a potion, and they won't look the same. This is a part of alchemical elegance.
This elegance is important to clients who are not getting the solution they need from the one size fits all market solution. With personalization you can change the market product adding your own flavors or even changing the way the drug is administered. We can customize everything for a specific client.
The additional effort for these customized solutions is not worth the time at lower alchemy grades, but once you reach the higher levels of alchemy and when one pill from you can sell for cities, it is an important skill to develop.
Nothing leads to an Alchemist's renowned more than giving clients customized solutions. I once was hired by a newly crowned king that was having trouble in the bedroom. Nothing he took on the market would get him up. I solved his issue with a cherry-flavored supplement I customized just for him.
He was so proud he banned all other solutions in the kingdom, that cherry flavored supplement became the only solution for ed sold within the kingdom's borders. I made quite the pretty penny by selling the recipe to the local alchemists. At face value, there was nothing essentially special about my supplement.
I used common ingredients for ed to craft it, however I customized it with a rare herb that was useful in granting vigor to that king. This was during the start of my alchemical journey. The renown I gained in that kingdom made me have a lengthy line of prospective clients querying me for customized solutions to their needs.
Do your research, studying your herb lore. Herb lore is essential for any alchemist that wants to pass the divide of Grape to Indigo Alchemist. Concocting is one of the best ways to practice herb lore as you are adding herbal supplements to already completed pill-cores.
After reading over 'Alchemy of the Lost Ones' I had a much better understanding of the value of concocting. I was thankful I had such a concise guide to learn alchemy from. By flipping through the pages of 'Alchemy of the Lost Ones' I could find the answers to almost all of my questions.
'Alchemy of the Lost Ones' was a true treasure, it even had concise addendum's on herb lore until Tier-5 in the back. It was the only instruction I would need to complete this trial, as long as I studied the pages of this book diligently I would pass this trial.
Though it did not define your Alchemist rank, mastering the skill of concocting is what separated Alchemists within the same rank. I would need to spend my future days going over herb lore before beginning my crafting or concocting.
I spent the following two hours studying Tier-1 herb lore before heading back to the alchemy lab. It was a lot to take in, with blacksmithing I only needed to know the properties of the metal I was working with at the time. You usually had a clear goal when making a weapon, then sourced the metals that could fulfill your aims.
With Alchemy though, knowing your herb lore changed your prowess when concocting. You needed to know your herbs in and out so you could handle them better. Customizing should be an early option when concocting my pills, not a last resort.
I looked over the recipe to 'Qi-Gathering Pill', it was the basic recipe that everyone knew. You would take your cultivation assistance pill-core and turn it into a slurry, then change it into a crumbly dough. After drying that dough, you would have a powder that you could add excipients to before forming the pills.
The most common excipient for this pill was Tier-1 beast blood, to strengthen the performance of the pill. And a stabilization herb such as Barberry to ensure the beast's blood didn't overpower the medication. Fowigano was often added as an extra protection to ensure the pills would not cause cultivation deviation.
I wouldn't do anything fancy with this crafting, I ordered the excipients I needed on a one day loan with my Aphalla. Luckily Apalla had the option to get materials on loan for crafting, if you were planning to sell completed products the same day. Otherwise I would have had to form basic potions with my pill-cores, which would sell for far less than the corresponding pills.
After crafting the pills I sold them off to a nice profit, I now had 200 phallic points. I then spent the 200 phallic points to grab the excipients I needed for the rest of my pill crafting.
I was quite surprised that the Satyrs had such a brilliant system in place. Being able to source all these ingredients was nothing short of monumental. In the Xertzul Abyss I would have to head to a major city to find a herb shop which I could source such a varied amount of ingredients.
I spent the next week transforming all my pill cores into their corresponding pills for resell. When I was finished I had 1200 phallic points to my name. My Aphalla was now erect u0026 proper, as it should be. Alchemy was truly a profitable profession!
