The recap did it? Yes! I selected this to feature the craft of Alchemy. No one is talking about those potions anymore. Folk seem to focus on objects for a click when a potion would do it faster and cheaper, at least for this kind of effect. The time frame was interesting. Several of the trades had a complete revamp. Alchemy was one. This occurred in Prophecy of Ro. Think of those 30 some forages in Dragons of Norrath zones. Many were for alchemy but with the revision became vendor material. I tried to determine if there was a combine parallel to Philter of the Ant (shrink) prior to the Prophecy of Ro alchemy revision. I could not find any. I stand corrected if there was one.
