Potion Creation

4. After passing the quiz, head to the next room, South and talk with Studying Man, Darwin alde_alche1315. He will explain the basics for creating potions.

Bypassing: Giving an Illusion Flower to Darwin by first selecting the flower option when initially speaking to him will send the player directly to the final NPC (Step 15) in honor of the bribe. The flower is to be presented when he asks you to bring the other materials, so the player will still need to choose the 1st option after selecting the flower option.

• He will then ask questions regarding potion creation after he explains the process.
• The answers are obvious as the incorrect answers are foolish comments like "dance around and flap your arms".
• If you failed this part you need to repeat the process again including new materials.
• Canceling the dialogue will also fail you and eat your materials.

The player will need the following items for this part:

• 1 Red Herb
• 1 Yellow Herb
• 1 White Herb
• 3 Empty Bottle
• 3 Medicine Bowl (The 3 Medicine bowls can be bought upstairs from the male Alchemist NPC)

Mixture and Counteragent

5. Move to the next room to meet with Experiment Expert, Van Helmont alde_alche7919.

• Note: It is not actually required that the player make Counteragents or Mixtures, the player just needs these items to do this part of the quest:
• 1 Alcohol, 1 Detrimindextra, 1 Karvodailnirol, 2 pcs of Empty Bottle

1. With Detrimindexta, Karvodailnirol and Alcohol in the inventory, go to Alberta. Enter the Manor near the top of the map alberta93202, and head to the second floor. Speak to Louitz alberta_in13054, found in the last room upstairs by the bookshelf. Select the option to discuss "More about Solutions" and he will mention "Morgenstein".

   

2. Head to Geffen, and talk with Aure Dupon geffen181114, located to the left of the east Kafra. He'll also refer to Morgenstein.

   

3. Enter the former Blacksmith Guild and head upstairs. Talk to Morgenstein geffen_in141140 at the third floor. After talking twice, he will offer to make a Counteragent or Mixture.

   

9. Head back to Al de Baran to talk with Experiment Expert, Van Helmont. He'll ask the player two questions pertaining what was just learned from the Dye quest. For reference:

Dye Quest
Counteragent	Detrimindextra (1) + Alcohol (1)
Mixture	Karvodailnirol (1) + Alcohol (1)

Puzzle Quiz

10. In the next room Chief Researcher, Nicholas Flamel alde_alche14519 will give simple word puzzles which include unscrambling names and items in Ragnarok and other word related puzzles.

11. Once finished, talk to him again and he will give the following items which are needed for the following part of the quest.

DO NOT SELL OR STORE THE ITEMS

• 5 Burnt Tree
• 5 Fine Sand
• 1 Mixture
• 3 Rough Elunium
• 3 Rough Oridecon

12. Nicholas will tell the player to go meet Bajin yuno_in01100153 and Bain yuno_in01100157 in Juno.

Before heading out, make sure to have the following items along with the items from Nicholas:

• 5 Coal
• 5 Mini Furnaces
• 2000 zeny

13. Head to Juno, and enter the building in the South-Western area yuno52105. Go upstairs to find two brothers. Give them all the items and they will attempt to make Gold. This experiment fails most of the time and the player will receive a variety of items from iron ores to gold depending on luck. You do not need to obtain a specific item. Any one attempt is enough to satisfy the requirement.

:

14. After the experiment is complete, head back to Al De Baran and talk with Chief Researcher, Nicholas Flamel again. He will tell you to go upstairs.

Job change

15. Head to the second floor of the Alchemist guild and talk to Master Alchemist alde_alche101184 with rainbow colored hair to change jobs.

• If he/she chooses to change to Alchemist at any job level lower than 50, he/she will receive a random potion manual which are 100,000z each and sold by the male Alchemist on the ground floor.
