Alchemical Crafting

Alchemical Weapons and Shields are a new kind of customizable loot, introduced with Update 11. Various ingredients gathered within House Cannith Manufactury are used for this crafting mechanism.

Update 11 crafting also includes set bonus unlocking for named accessories, See Nearly Finished for details.

Update 42 (Masterminds of Sharn) revisited some the ingredients used in alchemical crafting to purchase Syranian Forged Weaponry and to upgrade Sharn gear with Nearly Finished and Almost There enchantments. These recipes use also additional ingredients dropping in Masterminds of Sharn quests.

Crafting devices and recipes

See following for recipe details

• Cannith Melting Station
  • Located in House Cannith Manufactury, to create manufactured ingredients
• Cannith Reforging Station
  • Located in Artificer Workshops and Toven's Workshop, also used for Nearly Finished unlocking
• Cannith Binding Station
  • Located in Research Facility and Eldritch Site Prime

Crafting devices are also available in Sharn docks.

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.

Crafting steps

1. Acquire an alchemical "blank" weapon/shield from The Master Artificer raid or other players (unbound).
2. Add a metal type to the blank at the Cannith Reforging Station (becomes BtA).

Bind elemental spirits to the blank at the Cannith Binding Station, using spirits gathered from The Lord of Blades raid and binding dragonshards from The Lord of Blades and The Master Artificer raids. Three tiers of ingredients and effects, and each tier can either be Martial or Mystical (becomes BtC).
