This is a guide to how to use Alchemy, and a list of items which can be created through Alchemy in the game The Witcher 3. Read on for information about how to brew these items and the formulae required.
List of Contents
Alchemy is a process by which Geralt can make new items to assist him in combat, such as Oils, Potions and Bombs. Unlike Crafting items, Geralt can brew these items himself, without needing to visit a skilled craftsman to do the job.
In order to brew an Alchemy Item, Geralt will need an item called a Formula to learn the necessary ingredients. Then, he will need to collect the required ingredients, either by finding them in nature, looting, or buying them from a shopkeeper. Once these tasks are accomplished, Geralt can make the given Alchemy Item from the Alchemy tab on the menu.
After creating an Alchemy item, that item will never disappear completely, unlike consumable items like Foods. Instead, each item has a set number of charges, and are restored to the maximum number of charges whenever Geralt uses Meditation, in exchange for an alcohol item such as Alcohest.
