Alchemy Skills
The Alchemy tree improves potions, decoctions, oils, bombs and poison. Remastered rebuilt the trees with three ranks per skill. Every Alchemy rank also adds +2% potion duration and bomb damage. Several of its skills grow stronger as Toxicity rises.
Tree Layout
Refreshment, Efficiency and Frenzy are the roots, open from the start. Every other skill opens once a skill connected to it is unlocked. Some skills follow a single path:
- Adaptability needs Refreshment.
- Endure Pain needs Frenzy.
- Protective Coating needs Pyrotechnics.
- Acquired Tolerance needs Hunter Instinct.
- Toxic Shock needs Poisoned Blades.
- Cluster Bombs needs Volatile Compound.
- Side Effects needs Fast Metabolism.
