The Remedies discipline is an Alchemy craft that controls the creation of curative goods, such as salves, ointments, tinctures, and ungents.

Currently the only open locations are the Riverhaven Alchemy Society and Crossing Alchemy Society.

Basics

Foraged raw materials are dried or crushed and used as the controlling ingredient, and then STIRred. Water or alcohol is added when needed, and a catalyst is added to determine its effectiveness. Some remedies, like itch salve, require a second prepared raw material when prompted.

The ANALYZE command can be used to determine certain basic properties of items, as well as the next step required during the crafting process. For more specific information, APPRAISE the item CAREFULLY to tell you how its inherent properties compare on the Trader's Scale.

Products

Crushing

To come.

Drying

Using your Wayerd pyramid, add herbs that need to be dried, close the pyramid and DROP it to the ground. You can GUARD a single item on the ground at any given time. Most pyramids only work outdoors between dawn & dusk, although cambrinth pyramids will work in any location at any time of day. The weather also needs to be clear enough for the sun to reach the pyramid, so while there can be some clouds, the weather can not be raining or snowing.
When your pyramid is working, you will receive a humming message:

The wayerd pyramid emits a low humming noise as the sun's rays shine down on it.

When an herb is dry, you will see a secondary message to the above humming message:

After several moments a high-pitched humming resonates from the pyramid.

Rangers can also Beseech the Sun to Dry. A maximum beseech acts like a high quality tool (but not master-crafted). As per GM-Kodius, you should be able to get approximately outstanding quality on the drying process using the beseech.

Catalysts

• seolarn weed - found via foraging

Item Counts
