Make alchemy less cancer

[Sevenless]

Mad rash and Chills heal at the rate knicks and nacks do, 1 night in a Q40 bed => 20-40 pts of it gone. You always tank somewhere between 10-30hhp that goes away overnight in order to apply the healing. Quicksilver healing for 13chills is great, Sever mauling for 16 mad rash is fine (elixired sever maul heals at 1/day so meh), and 33 mad rash for blade kiss is alright enough but it was what you were asking for.

"Perfect" non damage potions don't really exist, and the alchemy boosting system flat out doesn't work and needs to be rebalanced if we want it to be relevant.

Maybe it's a skill issue?

Alchemy is just exercise in logic. You can automate this easily with your choosen software. But game design shouldn't benefit only thoose able of performing such tasks. Using Exp for everything is bandaid that just feels sick. Instead we could have at least book that automatically registers potion made and suggests ingredient's alchemical properties, this would remove need for "advanced" custom software. Another cool thing to do would be able to somehow study alchemical ingredient for chance to discover one of it's properties.

Eh, it's not hard to just log it in google docs. It takes me 3-4x longer to collect the ingredients than it does to log the experiments.

It's much easier to log alchemy tests than it is cooking since you don't need to do quality math to see how good something is.

Bro, it's a game not fucking excel math spreadsheet.

"it's a game I shouldn't have to write things down i want immediate satisfaction!!!!!!!"

i'd like to see you play myst without a walkthrough

I like alchemy exactly where it is, if it's too nerdy/you're not patient enough for it just don't do it???
