Game Mechanics
Alchemy Labs
Alchemist has access to underground alchemy labs on each floor, via a hatch on the edge of a random room. These labs require a key to access.
The alchemy table can only be used once.
You can use it by dropping an weapon, equipment item, or consumable in front of the table.
The alchemy table has multiple options for each type of item:
Weapons:
- Can be upgraded one tier upwards, e.g. Uncommon to Rare.
- This will not guarantee the weapon classWeapon classes are Sword, Bow, Gun, Wand, etc. being the same as the initial input; it will be potentially randomised to a different class.
- Can be rerolled into a different weapon classWeapon classes are Sword, Bow, Gun, Wand, etc., keeping the rarity.
- Can be rerolled into a different weapon typeWeapon types are melee, ranged and magic., keeping the rarity.
Equipment Items:
Charms are considered to be equipment items.

- (Set items are considered to be rare for this purpose.)
- This will not guarantee the equipment type being the same as the initial input; it will be potentially randomised to a different type. e.g. Helmet to Gloves.

Philosopher's Stone
The Philosopher's Stone is an inventory item that slowly charges up room by room, giving you a potion and resetting at 100%. It can also give potions that are usually not accessible normally in alchemy chests, shops, or potion room rewards.
These include: Stamina Potion, Fortune Potion, Recovery Potion, Gulp Potion, Mundane Potion
Tips
- Using the gift Key Rings can be a good way of accessing the Alchemy Lab on the first floor. Key economy is especially important with this character.
- Other ways of getting enough keys are either transmuting a consumable to keys via the alchemy lab, or bombing treasure rocks or secret rooms.
- For higher cinders, it is suggested to upgrade your weapon's rarity at the alchemy lab, to improve damage on the first floor. However; for lower cinders/no cinder, it is recommended to upgrade your Pouchy Robe to a set item so it can give you your first set piece, or you could use it to get a quick epic rarity equipment item on the second floor via the second alchemy lab.
