How to Make Money with Alchemy in Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
The alchemy system in Kingdom Come: Deliverance II allows players to create various potions. So, how can you use alchemy to earn money? Below, you will find a guide on early-game alchemy money-making methods brought to you by "Durian Uncle," which we hope will be helpful to everyone.
First, you need to complete the side quest involving the herbalist mother and daughter. This will allow you to buy items from the daughter.
Next, invest in the dark magic point in the alchemy skills to ensure that you can create high-quality potions from levels 12 to 4.30. You should also acquire the skill that allows you to craft one additional potion; it consists of two stages. This ensures that whatever you craft between levels 12 and 4.30 will yield six potions of Henry-level quality.
At the early stage, you can gather herbs from the herbal garden in Talmberg to create a few simple potions to gain experience. You can also purchase them from the merchant in Talmberg, although you might find yourself short on nightshade. After purchasing, head to the alchemy house in the Talmberg herbal garden and proceed with the drying process because the mother and daughter duo's herbal garden lacks a drying location.
Introduction to Alchemy in Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
In Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, getting started with basic crafting is essential for leveling up your skills. Once you have accumulated some resources, it’s time to dive into alchemy. If you have enough money, you can purchase materials from the herbalist. If not, sleep until midnight and sneak around to collect herbs while avoiding detection. When the blue sword icon appears, it indicates you're in a safe area to gather resources. Alternatively, you can steal materials, but you'll need the key to unlock chests. Once you have gathered everything, crafting potions becomes a matter of combining your collected ingredients.
Recommended Potions to Craft
Here are a few potions that are particularly useful:
- Painkiller – Great for healing and recovery.
- Saved Water – Boosts Henry's base stats, enhancing gameplay.
- Poison – Allows you to deal damage with the sword effectively.
- Styx Water – The most expensive potion I made has a base selling price of 100.
Managing Your Inventory
After crafting a round of potions, you’ll notice that the herbalist’s shop has been restocked. The main ingredient you need to keep an eye on is Nightshade, of which you can find up to 16 in one go. Once you feel confident in your alchemy skills, aim to have a horse for transporting your potions. I managed to carry over 200 potions to the blacksmith village. Of course, it’s wise to stop by the herbalist and merchant on the way to sell what you've crafted.
Conclusion
Mastering the art of crafting in Kingdom Come: Deliverance II not only enhances your gameplay experience but also allows you to profit from your hard work. Keep experimenting with different potions and strategies for the most benefit!
