How to optimize the use of Ingredients in Alchemy?
Many of the FAQs out there are more or less guessing at how Alchemy works, and with some experimentation it is quite possible to find out a few useful things. E.g. what ingredients to use – in general – to create permanent potions or power-up crystals (to enchant weapons). The trouble with this empirical approach is the fact that the code or formulas used by Two Worlds are a lot more complicated and complex than can be tested out. Thus none of the suggestions you will normally read about in the forums will actually be the optimum. Luckily the developers (Reality Pump) have provided the exact formulas for the Alchemy calculations in the (German) complete solution book (“Two Worlds – Die Komplettlsung”). Based on these formulas I (Æon) did some tests to verify their validity, plus did many tests to see what the optimum usage of ingredients is. One of the nicest surprises is the fact that you actually only need to use one permanent Mineral, with one temporary Mineral, and add 1-2 “abundan
