Alchemy is a craft that uses a wide range of materials to create of a variety of enhancing and enfeebling potions as well as healing medicines. Also allows for the combination of items to add enhancements to existing weapons as well as the creation of Ninjutsu tools. The Alchemists' Guild headquarters are located in the Republic of Bastok as well as the Empire of Aht Urhgan, though guild representatives can be found elsewhere. There you can obtain Synthesis Image Support to assist your crafting, as well as buy and sell guild related items. Guild members beyond the rank of Novice can earn Guild Points, used to purchase items exclusive to crafters.
The Alchemists' Guild is open 8:00 - 23:00.
By speaking to Abd-al-Raziq, the Guild Master, you can sign up to the guild and get a free crystal.
Synthesis Image Support NPCs[]
Synthesis image support temporarily raises your skill by 1 point. Advanced support raises your skill by 3 points, and requires a small fee based on your crafting rank, but also lasts much longer. Synthesis Image Support can be obtained from the following Guild representatives:
Every ten skill levels, you are required to prove to the guild that you "have what it takes" by crafting (or buying) an Alchemic item of the guild's choosing. This item can be turned in once you have reached an "8" in skill (8, 28, 48, etc.) or higher skill (up to the cap). Once you have the requisite skill, speak with the Guild Master, Abd-al-Raziq.
Once you have attained the rank of Novice, you may begin to earn Guild Points with the Alchemists' Guild. Note that you may only accumulate Guild Points for one guild at a time. The "Item of the Day" that the guild will accept changes every day at Japanese Midnight, and varies by crafting rank. Speak with Hemewmew, at (K-7) in Bastok Mines to find out what the item is, determine the limit to how many points can be earned, turn in items for points, and to spend points on Guild Point Items.
This special alchemy ability allows you to concentrate ingredients to create medicines in the form of a solid drop. These drops have the same effect as their liquid equivalents.
This forbidden type of alchemy is used to drain elemental energy from remnants of lost memories, and transform it into a partially materialized "quasispirit" known as Anima.
The familiar emblem of the Alchemists' Guild. Used in crafting an Alchemists' Stall.

A deceptively slim volume containing a staggering wealth of knowledge for the expert alchemist. You are particularly struck by a chapter entitled "Talk Like an Alchemist: How to Sound Positively Profound."
A sign used by alchemists to indicate their guild's services to the public.
Guild Merchants[]
Guild Merchants buy and sell craft related goods during the guild's hours of operation. Prices can vary greatly depending on supply and demand, and unlike Standard Merchants, they can sell out of inventory.
