Powder Crafting
This system is for experienced tinkering crafters; it takes multiple high skills, resource gathering from many different sources, some special ingredients will be needed for certain powders and finally the Alchemy Garb clothing is essential. There are three different kinds of power; Basic, Intermediate and Advanced. For basic you will need 2 items, for intermediate you need 4 and for advanced 6 items.
You will also need to craft a "Powder Grinder" tool

Skills
Powder grinding uses Alchemy, Cooking and Tinkering. Anything less then 120+ skill and you will suffer some negatives when crafting powder. Each skill or group of skills has an effect on specific powder properties. You will need all three skills at a very high level.
Taste Identification is very useful with this system and it is recommended you work on creating a Taste Id skill suit

Alchemy Garb
There are several alchemy clothing items you can obtain to enhance your skill. Each item can reach several stages and earns extra points. You can use Leprechaun_Gold to level up your suit for maximum alchemy results
The number of uses from a powder grinder is affected by your tinkering skill
There is also a Uisneach's Mystery Chest which contains one of the following random alchemy clothing or stage deeds
- Gloves
- Arms
- Legs
- Tunic
- Apron
- Boots
- Glasses
- Talisman
- Jump to next stage deed
- Max stage increase deed
Just obtaining the alchemy garb isn't enough for success, you need to invest time into your gear to max the stages, and to get additional bonus to your powder properties.
When a powder is crafted, there will be 4 properties displayed with ?%. You need to use the skill Taste ID on the powder, each successful check will reveal some of the properties. For each attempt the checks become more difficult.

Please know that as you play around with the system or find ways we can improve or simply want to discuss...just let Kane know. I like the system, but the numbers can always be adjusted to be fair. This is the first step to some amazing new features that have players have been asking for. Just give us some time to get it balanced, also new powders and features will be coming.
