Making Alchemy Stones

At present, before we continue I want to point out that y'all should have done quite some abracadabra earlier you get-go making alchemy stones. The reasons for this are both related to your skill level and the fact that you will demand an ingredient you can only become every bit side products from many mid to high-cease abracadabra recipes.

5 Pulverization of Time (Nodes: Glish Swamp, Quint Hill, Omar Lava Cave, etc.)
10 Pure Powder Reagent
x Shining Pulverization
3 Sinner'southward Claret

Once y'all accept these materials you demand to use your abracadabra utensil to brand the abracadabra stone. Equally with all alchemy and cooking batches, just place the right amount for a unmarried batch into the utensil and start the procedure.

Where to Become These Materials

It'south obviously easiest to get almost of these materials from the central market and if y'all have the silver then, by all means, do that. But if you want to get them on your ain or want to attempt to make some coin making alchemy stones then hither is an explanation on where y'all tin go these materials in the wild.

The Reagents and Pulverization of Time.

Clear Liquid Reagent and Pure Powder Reagent are the two reagents you should focus on making when you are starting alchemy so yous probably take a agglomeration already. If not and then please go read my alchemy guide mentioned higher up and start making those reagents until your alchemy level hits Professional person 1. Pulverization of Fourth dimension can be gotten by having workers work nodes that give yous lead.

Sinner's Blood

The recipe for Sinner's Blood is

1 Articulate Liquid Reagent
2 Claret from 1 of Sheep / Pig / Llama / Goat / Ox / Deer / etc (Blood Group ii)
1 Pulverization of Flame – (Most copper nodes like Coastal Cave, Northern Heidel Quarry, etc.)
1 Encarmine Tree Knot – (Node: Treant Woods, Elric Shrine, Stonetail Wasteland)

Shining Pulverisation

This material is the most difficult one as it is only produced every bit a side product from other mid-level alchemical processes. And then, to get this material y'all need to do make some mid-level alchemy recipes. The amount yous get is rather random and the low-level recipes such equally Clear Liquid Reagent practice not give Shining Pulverisation as a side ingredient. However, Sinner'south Blood does give yous Shining Powder so get brand a lot of that.

Alchemy Rock Tiers and Grades

Abracadabra stones come up in seven unlike tiers and four different grades. The tiers determine the amount of the do good you go from the stone and the grade determines which benefits you become. You can meet the benefits from the different tiers and grades in the images below. A freshly made stone will be of the bottom of the tier and grade list and to go a better stone you will need to upgrade information technology.

Upgrading Alchemy Stones

To upgrade alchemy stones takes a lot of work and even more silver. You get-go need to polish your alchemy stone by using sure materials and and then you need to abound the stone. Both of which are gone in the abracadabra window. You can access the abracadabra window past pressing the alchemy button at the bottom of your inventory shown in the image below.

Polishing an Alchemy Stone

The first step in upgrading alchemy stones is to polish them. What this means in do is that you employ certain materials to increase the "experience" of the abracadabra stone. Once the experience hits 80% you can attempt to grow the stone. Life stones need special crops and high-quality crops for polishing, destruction stones need ingots and pure metal crystals, and protection stones need plywood and sturdy plywood.

Notice that the experience earned from polishing the stones differs considerably betwixt materials. so information technology is well worth information technology to explore the experience vs cost aspect of polishing your alchemy stone.

Growing an Alchemy Stone

Once your alchemy rock is at fourscore% y'all can attempt to grow it. Pressing the grow button opens a screen where you can identify your alchemy stone in one box and a black stone in the other box. Pressing the "Growth" push will initiate the attempt. If you succeed you volition get your new alchemy stone in the side box. If y'all neglect then you lose half of the experience of the stone.

Here is a table with upgrade chances for all the tiers and grades of the stones. You tin come across from it that each growth attempt has both a hazard of upgrading the tier and grade of the stone. To be more articulate, what I telephone call tier the creator of the table calls grade and what I telephone call course he or she calls color.

Annotation that subsequently you accomplish the Sturdy tier there is a hazard that your stone will lose a tier level if you fail at growing it. Which is the principal reason for my hate of growing alchemy stones.

Using Alchemy Stones in BDO

To utilize your alchemy stone you need to place information technology in the middle icon of your grapheme gear screen. In one case there, you need to bank check the box side by side to the rock to activate it. Once activated, you lot start betting the boost from the stone and volition keep to do that until yous uncheck the box. Having an active alchemy rock reduces the durability of the rock by ane every x minutes. When the immovability becomes 0 you can no longer use the stone and need to restore the durability (repair) of the stone.

How to Repair an Alchemy Stone

In one case you lot have your first alchemy rock yous will notice that it has immovability similar whatsoever other equipment. This durability can be repaired, but it needs a different way than merely talking to an NPC and have him repair it. To repair, or recharge an alchemy rock as it is called, you need to use the alchemy tab in-game. This time it volition open directly in the window we demand to use.

In the "Recharge" window, you need to identify your stone in the right slot and the materials needed to repair the stone in the left slot. Then press the recharge push to restore the durability.

In the table below y'all can see how much durability any blazon of fabric restores. As well, y'all volition need more materials per durability depending on the tier of the stone. This goes up by i particular per tier, meaning that an imperfect rock volition only need one particular per durability, while a precipitous stone volition need v items per durability. I have never owned a resplendent or excellent stone, let alone a shiny one and then I am not sure most the number of materials, but I assume that the tendency holds.

	Durability Restored		Number of Materials Needed
Reagents	one	Imperfect	ane
Blood	4	Rough	2
Oil	10	Polished	3
		Sturdy	four
		Sharp	5
		Resplendent / Fantabulous / Shiny	6 / 7 / 8 (?)

You can also see how restoring the durability of your abracadabra rock is washed in this video [Coming Presently].

Is information technology Profitable to Abound Alchemy Stones?

Personally, I detect information technology way to much work to abound alchemy stones to earn argent and the RNG element is far to hindersome. Having said that, with a good deal of luck you lot can earn a massive amount of silver from making these stones if you manage to push them into the highest tiers.

So that's about all there is to growing and recharging abracadabra stones in Black Desert Online. At present if you found this guide useful and so delight share it with friends and allies in BDO and feel free to check out my other guides.
