Baldwin's special cauldron can transmute items into alchemical compounds that can be used to materialize brand new ones. What will you drop into the brew?

These compounds can then be combined with other materials to create brand new exclusive craftable items! Transmuting and creating new items will yield [b]alchemy experience[/b]. The higher your alchemy level, the more recipes are available to your clan. At this time, players can currently achieve a maximum of [b]Level 5[/b]. With such a huge swath of new apprentices, however, Baldwin will likely have new and exciting recipes very soon!

It won't be possible to do both at once! [*]It's only possible to drop [b]Food[/b], [b]Materials[/b], [b]Familiars[/b], [b]Apparel[/b] and [b]Trinkets[/b] into the cauldron. [*]Alchemical compounds aren't predictable! Each item category will produce its [b]own type of transmutation material[/b], but in varying colors and degrees of rarity.
