# Alchemy

<figure><img src="/files/Sjz6VyWOM1WCughqHTAi" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The <mark style="color:red;">**Alchemy Table**</mark> is a cornerstone of Rivalia’s crafting system, giving every player the chance to create useful items, regardless of vocation. Starting as early as **Rookgaard**, players can experiment with alchemy to produce consumables, upgrade their economy, and enhance their magical arsenal.

#### <mark style="color:red;">Getting Started</mark>

* **No vocation required** — any character can begin training alchemy right from the start.
* Accessible in **Rookgaard**, making it one of the earliest professions available to all players.

#### <mark style="color:red;">Core Features</mark>

1. **Potion Crafting**\
   Players can brew potions directly at the table, creating vital supplies to aid in combat and exploration.
2. **Gold Converter**\
   A unique recipe that allows adventurers to transmute **100 gold coins into 1 platinum coin**, offering a way to keep inventories lighter and prepare for the future economy.
3. **Rune Enchanting & Doubling Charges**
   * Players can place a rune into the table to attempt an upgrade.
   * Successful upgrades **double the rune’s charges**, turning a single-use rune into a stack of greater utility.
     * Example:
       * A **1x Sudden Death Rune** may become a **2x Sudden Death Rune**.
       * A **5x Heavy Magic Missile Rune** may transform into a **10x Heavy Magic Missile Rune**.
   * Not every attempt succeeds, but higher alchemy skill increases your odds.

#### <mark style="color:red;">Skill Progression</mark>

* **Alchemy Skill** grows as you craft and attempt upgrades.
* The **higher your skill**, the greater your **success chance** when crafting potions, converters, or rune enhancements.
* Every failure still contributes to your skill progression, making the path of alchemy one of persistence and experimentation.
