Alchemist Class Introduction

I am syKim from TOS Dev Team.

Today, I will introduce ‘Alchemist’ to you.

Alchemist is a wizard-based 6th ranked class, and it will be introduced to you for the first time in the upcoming CBT2.

Alchemist’s main skills are related to the items in the game. Alchemist can attack enemies by exploding its own items that are dropped on the ground, but usually Alchemist engages in modifying and creating items.

Gems that can be obtained in dungeons make differences in various parameters when they are inserted into sockets.  Some parameters will improve, but there will be other parameters that will have negative penalties.  You will be able to mitigate the effects of these penalties by engaging in [Gem Roasting].

 

 

Alchemist can also combine two different weapons to create one new weapon by engaging in [Briquetting]

The stats on the weapon that will be formed (Master Item) as a result  of Briquetting could be better or worse, but regardless of the outcomes, ingredient items will be consumed and the Master Item’s potential will decrease by 1.

Alchemist can also extract juice from herb items and create potion items using the juice.

Some of the items that were introduced during CBT1 such as potions to increase your movement speed, decrease your cool-down time and etc can only be crafted by Alchemist and can’t be obtained through other ways, but for our smooth testing during CBT1, we temporarily sold them at one of the shops in the game.

The number of kinds of potions that can be crafted will increase based on the level of [Tincturing] skill, and these potions’ stats will also increase.

Alchemist can also find hidden options in items.

▲ Alchemist can use an item as a medium to create a portal to a two-dimensional dungeon.  After clearing a mission there, the hidden options of the item will be activated.  The number of players that can participate in this mission increases as the skill level increases.  As more people participate this mission, it can be cleared more easily.

There are items in the game that can only be crafted by alchemy since they can’t be obtained through Shops or monsters.
Alchemist can craft these items using its distinct skill called “Magnum Opus”.

You can use this skill when you place ingredient items on the Craft Plate.  The items that will be created as a result of this skill will vary depending on what kind of ingredient items you used and the locations of those items on the plate.

As the skill level increases, the size of the plate will enlarge and you could also deploy various manuals on the plate to create multiple items simultaneously.

It could take from a few seconds to a few hours.
