The following is a list of all the alchemic apparatus used to help make potions.

  • Mortar and Pestles are the only required instrument and determine the initial potion strength.
  • Alembics decrease the magnitude and duration of all negative ingredient effects.
  • Retorts increase the magnitude and duration of all positive ingredient effects.
  • Calcinators increase the magnitude and duration of all ingredient effects.
  • A high object Quality indicates a better item.
  • The item Count in the below list gives the approximate number of that item in the game not including those sold by some merchants (such as the Secret Grandmaster apparatus).
  • The Locations for some of the apparatus are not exhaustive.

  • The reason why the secretmaster apparatus is not included in-game is unknown, but it exists fully in the construction set (Complete with function scripts, inventory images and world models) in the list of apparatus, just with a 0 count. This may have been an oversight on the developers' part, or the items may have been deliberately left out as a surprise or easter egg. One possible reason is that the full name of the "SecretMaster's Mortar and Pestl" overflows the maximum length allowable for a name even without the space in "Secret Master's", causing the 'e' to be dropped off, and it was easier to remove the equipment than fix the problem.
