Grand Alchemist Sereth

The master hands you the first tool free. The five above it are bought, and a tool only unlocks its own tier: owning the tier five tool does nothing for tier two work.

  1. T1 Mortar and Pestle level 1
  2. T2 Alchemy Crucible level 15
  3. T3 Glass Retort level 30
  4. T4 Masterwork Alembic level 45
  5. T5 Luminary Still level 60
  6. T6 Grandmaster’s Apparatus level 75

The six tiers

Each tier needs both the level and the tool that belongs to it. Times are the base interval, before mastery takes up to a quarter off.

Underneath the level

Every action carries its own mastery track, one to ninety-nine, separate from the skill. Mastery is per action: mastering copper does nothing for iron. At ninety-nine a single action runs up to 25% faster, pays up to 10% bonus skill experience, and has up to a 20% chance of an extra yield.

How professions work covers the experience curve, the tier gates and offline progress, which are identical for all sixteen.
