Dialogue
Reens: Hi, I'm Reens. Welcome to my potion shop. I can refill your potions for you, or I can begin your training in Potion Making and Alchemy!
Talk
Reens: I'm so glad that I finally got my shop set up just the way that I wanted it. It feels like I was unpacking for years.
Reens: Can you keep a secret? It really took me this long because I'd lost my official Royal Alchemist outfit. I couldn't really open the shop until I found it.
Reens: Now that I've got my outfit on again I can legally train beginner alchemists! I can't teach you much, but I can get you started.
Reens: If you pass my tests then you can find a higher level trainer, and eventually you can become a Transmutation Grandmaster!
Reens: I wanted to continue my own training in Swordhaven but I was so excited to get out into the world and start helping people with my potions!
Reens: I've also been inventing new potions! I just made a fizzy, sugary one that I call Sodaburp! Want to try some?
Refill Potions - fully replenishes both HP and MP potions.
Reens: You got it! Your healing and mana potions have been refilled. Remember to use them before the expiration date that I printed on the bottles.
What is Alchemy?
Reens: I specialize in crafting healing potions but there is a lot more to alchemy than that! It's a whole field of the mysical sciences!
Reens: Alchemy deals with changing one or more materials into something else entirely, which is called transmutation.
Reens: When you learn basic alchemy from me, you will be altering the way that a standard healing potion will affect you.
Reens: This change comes from the way that the standard healing potion interacts with the potion bottles that you always carry around.
Reens: That way, you only need to upgrade your bottles once, instead of making more and more powerful healing potions every time. Pretty cool, huh?
Reens: This is just one of the advances that we've made in modern alchemy to make everyones lives eaiser!
Train Alchemy!
Upon selecting this option for the first time:
Reens: So, you're ready to begin training your alchemy skill! This is so exciting... opening a new mind to the miracles of modern alchemy!
Reens: Since I will be teaching you basic alchemy, I will only be teaching you how to upgrade your Healing Potions.
Reens: That may not seem that impressive to you, but you'll see what a huge difference it makes in battle as you level up.
Reens: Ready to get started?
- Yes!
Reens: Great! There are basically 2 sides of potion-making:
Reens: The first is gathering the materials that you will need for your transmutation. we call those materials "Reagents".
Reens: The second part is performing the transmutation using the Transmutation Circle.
Reens: To begin, I will give you a list of reagents that you will have to gather from the woods. All of the reagents will appear in your temporary inventory.
Reens: The reagent list will look like this:
Reens: The reagents that you need to gather will appear in RED.
Reens: Once you have gathered the reagents, they will appear in GREEN, like this:
Reens: In this example, you still need to find the Pretzel Root. Once you have all the required reagents, it will look...
Reens: ...Like THIS! Once you have gathered the reagents that you need, then I will test your knowledge of the Transmutation Circle.
Reens: Ready to try a sample test?
- Test Me!
Reens: THIS is the Transmutation Circle.
Reens: You have THREE tries to pass the test and get your alchemy skill to the next level.
Reens: If you don't pass the test by your third try... then you will have to gather new reagents and try again.
Reens: This is where you can see your current skill level, how much your potions currently heal for...
Reens: ...and how much your improved healing potions will heal for after you pass the test.
Reens: The transmutations tests will get harder and harder as you level up.
Reens: Each of these smaller circles represents a single Transmutation. Once you draw it correctly, you will get a check mark...
Reens: ...Like THIS! That means "one down, three to go."
Reens: here comes the REALLY fun part. lets see how well you use the Transmutation Circle itself!
Reens: First, I will show you the circle that you need to draw, be sure to PAY ATTENTION!
Reens: Then all you have to do is RE-DRAW the same circle that I just showed you, and hit the FINISHED button!
Reens: Now, let's see how well you do!
- Ready! - begins Transmutation Circle test.
Reens: Wow! You might have a natural gift for alchemy! You passed the first test, and your alchemy skill is now level 6!
Reens: Great Job! Come back anytime that you want to continue your training!
Upon selecting this option while training Health Alchemy Skill Level:
Reens: Are you ready to continue your alchemy training?
- Get Reagents
Reens: This time, you will need to gather these reagents. Those monsters are tricky. Be sure to watch out for AMBUSHES.
- Take Test
If you are not of a high enough level:
Reens: You have reached the limit for your current level. If you take the test you will still lose your reagents but not gain any more skill points.
If you have not gathered the necessary reagents:
Reens: Sorry, I can't give you the alchemy test until you gather the necessary reagents. Those are the rules.
- Gather Reagents - see 'Get Reagents' dialogue.
Once you have gathered the necessary reagents:
Reens: Now, let's see how well you do!
- Ready! - begins Transmutation Circle test.
If you are successful, but are not of a high enough level:
Reens: You have succeeded, however you can not train your Alchemy skill higher at your level.
- Pay for Training
Reens: Hmm, if you're allergic to alchemy, I suppose I might have some spare reagents around... You'll have to watch carefully though!
- What's the price?
