The Thief's key Recipe, which appears under the bell of the church of Farebury, after talking about it to the local armor shop merchant behind the counter this is the only one of his recipe notes that the story itself directs the Hero towards, as it is required to proceed forward.While most recipes can be discovered from hints from people, inside books, or just by experimenting, there are four recipes that appear as notes dropped on the floor, as part of a game of hide-and-seek proposed by the armor shop merchant of Farebury not only these notes are barely visible, they only appear in hard to find places after certain story events, and are furthermore, since they are not technically counted as items, not signalated by the Nose for Treasure skill. Success in Alchemy is key to getting some of the most powerful equipment available, so it's worth a go, however time-consuming. While at first, only two ingredients can be combined together, eventually the pot will be upgraded by Trode to handle three materials at once after the Pickham incident. Due of the changes made to make Alchemy more accessible, this design is the default one in the 3DS Version, with the original one being only visible in the introductory cutscene.Īlchemy becomes available once the Hero and the rest of the party reaches Peregrin Quay, thanks to Trode repairing the Alchemy Pot during the sea trip.
