Crafting

Alchemy

Alchemy converts the reagents Begging and shopping bring in into something worth drinking. The early potions are convenience; the later ones are the difference between surviving a bad fight and not. Every brew wants an empty bottle, which is a Tinkering problem before it is an Alchemy one.

How you train it Brew at a mortar and pestle. As with every craft, an attempt that spends more reagents teaches you more.
What you need An active mortar and pestle, empty bottles, and the reagents each recipe names.

Potions

What each one actually does, and what it costs to make. Thrown potions are combat-only and target the monster; the rest you drink.
