Alchemy stone is an item you can equip on the equipment slot. Once activated, the Alchemy Stone will give beneficial effect for a limited time period. You can only equip one Alchemy Stone at a time. But depending on the situation, you can always swap different Alchemy Stones. The three types of Alchemy Stones are ‘Destruction’, ‘Protection’ and ‘Life’. You’ll receive AP, DP and Life skill benefits when you activate the Alchemy Stone. The quality of the beneficial effect will vary depending on the Grade and Level of the Alchemy Stone. There are 4 Grades and 8 Levels available for Alchemy Stone.
Crafting Alchemy Stone would be considered the final stage of the Alchemy skill. Not only is it difficult to craft Alchemy Stone, it is also difficult to increase the Grade and Level of the Alchemy Stone.
However, the benefits of equipping a high Grade and Level Alchemy Stone is equivalent to enhancing an equipment to the next stage.
It is a good idea to learn the basics of Alchemy before you try crafting an Alchemy Stone.

Crafting Alchemy Stone
The option to craft Alchemy Stone is available for Adventurers that reached Alchemy Skilled 1 or higher. You’ll need to use the Alchemy Tool using the required materials to craft Alchemy Stone. Out of the materials needed to craft Alchemy Stone, the most important material is ‘Shining Powder’. You can obtain ‘Shining Powder’ with a low chance when you polish Elixir, Crystal, Oil, Blood or other items. In addition to ‘Shining Powder’, you also need Sinner’s Blood, Powder of Time, Pure Powder Reagent and Clear Liquid Reagent. You will randomly receive Destruction, Protection or Life Alchemy Stone from a successful Alchemy craft. There is also a probability that you’ll obtain a ‘Broken Alchemy Stone Shard’ from a successful Alchemy craft. Although you can’t use ‘Broken Alchemy Stone Shard’ for anything, you can sell the item for 5000 silver coins. As mentioned previously, any adventurer with Alchemy Skilled 1 will have the option to craft Alchemy Stone. However, your chances of successfully crafting an Alchemy Stone is correlated to your Alchemy level. This means the higher the Alchemy level, the higher your chances of successfully crafting an Alchemy Stone.
▲ Adventurers with Alchemy Skilled level 1 or higher can craft Alchemy Stone. But your chances of successfully crafting Alchemy Stone will increase at higher Alchemy level.
Alchemy Stone Grade and Level: Not all Alchemy Stones are equal.
The Grade of the Alchemy Stone is distinguished by the color of the text and the Level by the prefix. Similar to equipment grade, the Alchemy Stone in white name is the lowest grade. The Grade from the lowest to the highest is in the following order; green, blue, yellow. The stage of the Alchemy Stone is indicated by the prefix of the item name. The ‘Imperfect’ grade gives the lowest quality of beneficial effect. With a high chance you’ll obtain ‘Imperfect’ Alchemy Stone from crafting. The Level from the lowest to highest quality is in the following order; Rough, Polished, Sturdy, Sharp, Resplendent and Shiny. Don’t be disappointed if you have a low Grade and Level Alchemy Stone. For that, you can use the ‘Polishing’ and ‘Growth’ feature to increase the Grade and Level.
▲ Although difficult to craft, a high Grade and Level Alchemy Stone yields great benefits!.
Activating Alchemy Stone and Recharge
After you equip the Alchemy Stone to the equipment slot, press U to activate the Alchemy Stone and receive the beneficial effect. The durability of the Alchemy Stone will decrease by 1 every time it is activated.
The duration of the beneficial effect from ‘Destruction’ and ‘Protection’ Alchemy Stone duration and 3 minute. The cooldown time is also 3 minute. Because of that, you can use the Alchemy Stone consecutively when the cooldown time resets.
Since Destruction and Protection Alchemy Stone share the same cooldown time, it is not possible to receive two types of beneficial effect at the same time.
The ‘Life’ Alchemy Stone beneficial effect duration as well as the cooldown time is 10 minutes. After you equip the Alchemy Stone, go to Inventory (press I) > Equipment page. When you’re on the Equipment page, check the small box next to the Alchemy Stone to enable auto mode. Once auto mode is enabled, Alchemy Stone is automatically activated once the cooldown time resets.
You can use the ‘Recharge’ feature to restore the lost durability using oil, blood and reagent. The amount of oil needed for Recharge will depend on the level of the Alchemy Stone. But since there is no limit in the type of Oil and Blood used, it is relatively easy to craft and obtain those materials.
The use of Alchemy Stone and Recharge feature is not limited by your Alchemy level. Unless your goal is to make an Alchemy Stone of the highest quality through Polishing and Growth, there is no demerit for leaving Alchemy Skilled level 1.
▲ Go to Inventory (press I) > Alchemy. The amount of materials required for Recharge will vary depending on the lost durability value.
