Results List

• Effect List: The list of effects associated with this ingredient.
  • Ingredients typically have 4 effects, which can each be learned separately by the player, and will subsequently display in the ingredient's description when highlighted in the inventory. Effects can be learned by either by eating the ingredient or crafting a potion with two ingredients that share the same effect at the Alchemy Lab - in which case the effect will be unlocked for both ingredients.
  • When potions are crafted by the player, they will have all effects that were shared by at least two ingredients used in crafting the potion. The highest magnitude effect will be used from among the ingredients that share the effect. Eating the ingredient can trigger a reduced duration & magnitude version of ingredient effects on the player.
• Auto Calculate:
  • If checked, the ingredient's value will be automatically calculated based on the value of the effect(s).
  • If unchecked, the ingredient's value can be set manually.
