'''Catalysts''' are the special ingredients used in [[Alchemy]] to change [[healing herbs]] into potions, salves, teas, or balm. |
|||
{{Cat|Creation systems}} |
|||
==Varieties== |
|||
There are four catalysts: |
|||
* Dracon crystal |
|||
* Tukai stone |
|||
* Glaysker flower |
|||
* Seolarn weed |
|||
===Dracon crystal=== |
|||
Dracon is the most reactive of the four catalysts. You can make your own dracon crystals from foraged [[draconaeia blossom]]s. The crystal is actually the dried oil which can be extracted from the blossoms. |
|||
Each draconaeia blossom has only one part to it, so to make dracon crystal you need to forage a bunch of blossoms and combine them into one large piece. Then crush the combined blossom in your mortar to extract the oil. Next dry the oil in a [[Wayerd pyramid]] to make the crystal. |
|||
===Tukai stone=== |
|||
Tukai is the second-most powerful catalyst. At present it is only available from [[:Category:Alchemy Shops|Alchemy Shops]]. |
|||
===Glaysker flower=== |
|||
Glaysker flowers can be foraged as well but are not widely spread throughout the realms. |
|||
===Seolarn weed=== |
|||
Seolarn is the least potent of the catalysts, but the most common. It can be foraged in many areas of [[Elanthia]]. Seolarn is the only catalyst that will work when preparing [[aloe]] balm. |
|||
==Preparation== |
|||
As with the healing herbs, the potency of the catalysts you can forage is related to your [[foraging skill]]. Catalysts are also improved by drying, just like the herbs. The catalyst must be crushed in a [[mortar and pestle|mortar]] before it can be mixed in a potion. The rule of thumb is dry first, crush second. |
