  • Located in House Cannith Manufactury, to create manufactured ingredients
• Cannith Reforging Station

Alchemical blank items (Prototype)

Alchemical Greataxe. Some items have their own special look; the rest are copies of the looks from Greensteel and a few other places.

Alchemical weapons and shields can be obtained from The Master Artificer raid end chest and every 5th MA reward list.

Alchemical weapons and shields are level 12 unbound when acquired, level 12 BTA when a metal type is added, level 16 BTC when a tier 1 upgrade is added, level 18 BTC when a tier 2 upgrade is added, and level 20 BTC when a tier 3 upgrade is added.

Weapons

Weapons are +5 and have 2.0 weapon dice modifier (standardized as of Update 15 Patch 2). All weapons types are available, unlike Green Steel Weapons (Alchemical Light Hammer, Alchemical Handwraps, etc exist).

Shields

Note that on-attack proc effects (such as Shocking Burst, Lightning Strike, Electrifying Blast, Earth Grab, etc) on a shield only go off on a shield-bash.

Static effects (such as Magnetism 90, Doublestrike 6%, Seeker +10, Stunning +10) and guard effects (Fire Shield (Cold) on you being hit, etc) work fine from a shield. Stunning +10 and Seeker +10 affect both main-hand attacks (ranged and melee) and shield bashes (though you can't perform a stun with a shield bash). Doublestrike 6% affects main-hand melee attacks, regardless of where the Doublestrike effect comes from.
