The Alchemical Almanac
This post is the home for the information about all the many varied Reagents found in the Crescent Wildlands and beyond. Each entry will include the name of the reagent, how difficult it is to use, the methods by which it can be activated within a mixture, it’s rarity, cost, and location as well as the effects it will have on an alchemical mixture and the durations of any of it’s lingering effects.
Some reagents may be harvested from a specific regions, others carved from monster carcasses, while others may require careful cultivation or expensive purchases. This list is by no means comprehensive and will be updated over time as reagents are discovered and their utilities discerned. That being stated I hope you enjoy crafting all manner of weird and powerful poultices, potions and poisons with these ingredients, be they mundane or magical.
