Alchemy
Potions, elixirs, and alchemical recipes in Epic Fantasy.
The alchemy system lets you brew potions and convert materials using the Alchemy Station. Two modes: Normal Alchemy (fueled by Coal) and Corrupted Alchemy (fueled by Corruption Cores).
The Alchemy Station
You need one before you can brew anything.
