Dialogue

Percival "Percy" Beamish
NPC

Hey there, dude!

NPC

What's up, partner?

NPC

Howdy-do, amigo!

NPC

Welcome to the lab, my friend!

Percival "Percy" Beamish
NPC

I used to live it up in Leithana, but then I got sent out here to Goldenfield for uh.... 'practical experience'.

NPC

No worries, mate. I'll just... uh... improvise, I guess...

NPC

I was having the time of my life at the university until I fell asleep during the assignment handout. Next thing I knew, I was stuck in this provincial place.

NPC

Well, back to plan B... once I figure out what that is...

NPC

I'll give you the recipe, you do all the crafting. Then we can pretend you're one of my successful newcomer-students. What do you say, dude?

NPC

And because, yesterday's party with the locals was a bit too joyful. This hangover is killing me.

NPC

I've got a plan, though. You'll create something simple, like painkillers. Mostly 'cause that's the only recipe I give out for free.

NPC

See, I'm supposed to be this alchemy master teaching outlanders the ropes. In reality, I can barely tell a mana potion from a beer.

NPC

I'm good, for the time being. But I'll holler if I need help.

NPC

I'm alright for now. But thanks for the offer, man.

NPC

No need now, amigo. But I'll keep you in mind.

NPC

I'm in a bit of a pickle here. Can you help out?

NPC

I'm in deep need of help, man!

NPC

You bet I do, buddy. I could use a hand.

NPC

Just watch out for the local brew. It's stronger than it looks!

NPC

It's a nice place for newcomers to start their journey, though. The locals are surprisingly friendly for a bunch of country folks.

NPC

Goldenfield is... it's okay, I guess. It's quiet, maybe too quiet for my taste. It lacks the nightlife of Leithana.

NPC

The best part? You can have several alchemy effects at the same time, like a cocktail of... awesomeness.

NPC

Voila, you got yourself an improved version with a longer and stronger effect.

NPC

To pump up the volume and get stronger effects, you got to add more resources to the standard consumable.

NPC

To kick-start this party, I mean... to craft these consumables, you will need both regular and recycled resources from Butchery, Mining, Logging, and Herbalism.

NPC

Just remember, every consumable is like a good party. It's got a limited duration, but it'll make your journey through the wild lands of Kwalat a whole lot more bearable.

NPC

These babies don't come in different qualities. But, if you get lucky, you can get two, even three consumables at once.

NPC

You get to whip up some groovy consumables like medicines, vaccines, and ointments. You can even roll up some joints.

NPC

Though, on the bright side, I did manage to snatch some notes on alchemy from university. FYI, it's all simple if you look closely. Cool even.

NPC

But, hey... the show must go on, right? I've got to teach alchemy, even if I barely remember anything from my classes.

NPC

I'm struggling a bit, honestly. The rural life is not for me. The lack of sleep doesn't help either.

NPC

Man, I'm feeling... ugh, not so hot, you know?. Parties with the locals can be a bit... intense.

NPC

And guess what, dude? With each new mastery level, the number of alchemy effects you can stack will shoot up!

NPC

I'm Percival Beamish, but you can just call me Percy.

NPC

Well, that's a fail. But don't worry about me, I'll... sort something out.

NPC

Believe me, man, if you master Alchemy, you'll feel as comfy as a sloth in a tree. Even when exploring the most difficult and savage locations of the wild lands.
