Brewing a mixture grants Alchemy experience and raises your Alchemy level, unlocking stronger recipes that give more XP but need rarer ingredients and take longer to prepare. Alchemy draws ingredients from across the gathering skills — [[Foraging]] berries and plants, [[Mining]] minerals, [[Farming]] crops and the occasional swamp or cave gather — so keeping those stocked lets you brew the best recipe you have unlocked. | Brewing a mixture grants Alchemy experience and raises your Alchemy level, unlocking stronger recipes that give more XP but need rarer ingredients and take longer to prepare.
