Dumb question on Alchemy

Post by Arnfin »

Do optional apparatus work automatically if in your inventory when making potions? Or do you have to select the Retort for example instead of the Pestle and Mortar before adding ingredients?

Thanks in advance!

They work automatically.

A note on apparatus...

A proper alchemist will have all four apparati (sp?) in his inventory. If you have 2 of the same type, but one is a higher level than the other (apprentice calcinator and a journeyman calcinator) then the game will automatically select the higher of the two when you whip up a potion/poison. Strive to get Master's level gear for the best potions/poisons.

That's been covered many times before. The search function is your friend.

As the question's been answered in detail, I can't see any reason to keep this thread open.
