Chart of Reagent Effects and Locations
In order to make a potion, you need to access your character's inventory screen and move an alchemy tool on to your character's icon, and then combine two or more reagents that have the same effect. Most reagents have negative effects in addition to positive ones, and if you combine reagents that have the same negative effect, the potion you create will also have that effect in addition to any intended positive effect or effects. The following chart details all of the reagents in the game and their possible effects, as well as their value and some general guidance on where they can be found.
