Create Intermediate Strength & Dexterity Potion

The Intermediate test of the Alchemy Exam requires you to create an Intermediate Strength & Dexterity potion.

Sample Potion

Potion	Intermediate Strength & Dexterity
Efficacy
Characteristics	Focus / Perception
Formula	Special Zaytun Peach x1 Special Mist Flower x1 Special Mint x2 Special Berry x4

Pick Matching Ingredients

For the Intermediate Exam, Sucrose will ask you to specifically create a Strength & Dexterity potion that is of Intermediate grade or higher.

With that in mind, your best ingredient choices are those that directly provide Strength and Dexterity efficacies, with the occasional Balanced supplements.

Recommended Ingredients

Name	Efficacy	Characteristic
Special Jueyun Chili	Strength	Warm
Special Flaming Flower	Strength	Warm
Special Mist Flower	Strength	Steadying
Special Horsetail	Dexterity	Endurance
Special Dandelion	Dexterity	Relaxing
Special Zaytun Peach	Dexterity	Relaxing
Special Mushroom	Balanced	Endurance
Special Berry	Balanced	Focus
Special Mint	Balanced	Perception

Create the Potion

Once the ingredients have been chosen, create the potion as requested.

Since the request conditions are specific, we ended up making an Intermediate Strength & Dexterity potion to satisfy all requirements, but you are free to take your potion one grade higher.

Secondary Objectives

The secondary objectives are more doable than the Beginner Exam's, specifically because you now have agency to more than just 3 ingredients.

To ensure that the player can receive Sublime Mastery marks for this exam, make sure to only use your best ingredients to ensure high potion levels.
