Alchemy is a Skill in Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning. Skills in KoA: Re-Reckoning are non-combat talents that allow you to improve your capability to craft, to discover different ways to play and interact with the environment, and to make it easier to go through some situations, which can aid you in your playthrough. Alchemy allows the character to harvest reagents and create Potions.

Alchemy Description:

• Allows you to harvest reagents.
• Each level upgrade increases the chance to harvest.
• Can be used to craft Potions with guidance of Recipes.
• Alchemy is performed at Workbenches

How to Acquire Alchemy:

Mastering Alchemy requires a total of 10 Skill Points. You can acquire and improve Alchemy by different ways:

• Race Bonuses: There are two races which give bonuses just by choosing them in Character Creation:
  
  • Almain race has a +2 Alchemy
  • Ljosalfar race has a +1 Alchemy
• Leveling Up:
  • By level 40, you'll have earned 40 skill points from leveling.

• Skill Books:
  • These are special books found in Amalur or given as rewards for quests that allow you to increase a specific skill.
  • They are named as "Skill Book (Skill Name)"
  • Once you have the Skill Book (Alchemy), open your inventory and read it to receive a permanent +1 increase to Alchemy
  • Skill Book (Alchemy) boost cannot be reset by Fateweavers
    
  • Although you can find more than one Skill Book (Alchemy), you can benefit from at most one skill book
  • In order to locate and enter the hidden area where the Skill Book (Alchemy) is, you must first have Detect Hidden Skill at level 5 or higher.
• Alchemy Trainers:
  • Trainers are NPCs who can increase one skill you have by a factor of 1.
  • Any upgrade cost an amount of gold
  • Any Trainer can only be used once
  • You can find four trainers for Alchemy scattered throughout The Faelands
  • There is a fifth Trainer, that comes along with The Legend of Dead Kel DLC
  • These are two basic, one advanced and two master trainers

Each of these trainers has a range of level requirements in which a character's skill level has to fall, in order to be eligible for training. If you are too skilled (or not skilled enough), you cannot learn from Trainers
