Dateline 9/13/2007: ALCHEMY RECIPE CHANGES

Author: GS4-NAOS
Date: 9/13/2007 9:14:52 PM


A large number of Alchemy recipes are scheduled to be updated tonit around 12:00 Midnight EST, and once this update is completed, any previous recipes will no longer be recognized as valid by the system.

The recent updates to Alchemy training tasks have necessitated these changes. Particularly, the added requirements of using recipes related to a skill and that that recipe be considered 'tough' to count for repetitions.

We hope these updated recipes will help to ease the progression through the middling ranks of the General Alchemy skill, and the lower to middle ranks of the Alchemic Potions and Trinkets skills.

As mentioned above, previous recipes will have CEASED TO WORK as a result of these changes, and any recipes currently written in recipe books will NOT reflect these changes.

Alchemists are strongly advised to take their recipe books to any skilled master in their guild halls and ASK them to UPDATE the recipes in their books. (ASK {name} TO UPDATE) The skilled master will indicate which pages, if any, have been updated.

Please note that the skilled master will most likely indicate that he or she does not recognize recipes for most if not all DISTILL and EXTRACT recipes. This is expected. Please do NOT assist, report or post about these recipes. Newly written DISTILL and EXTRACT recipes should be properly recorded in recipe books from now on.

Please direct any questions and comments you might have to the Alchemy Discussion topic in the Magic Spells and Systems category on the official forums.
