Alchemy | The Witcher 3 Wiki

Alchemy in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is an age-old Crafting tradition amongst Witchers which involves the harvesting of materials both benign and toxic, and creating with them a plethora of Witcher tools such as Potions, Decoctions and Oils and Bombs. Unlike Blacksmithing and Armorsmithing, Alchemy is a crafting discipline that Geralt is highly proficient in and can perform without aid. On his adventures, Geralt will find plenty of Alchemy Manuscripts with which he can learn various recipes, including those used to create more advanced materials used in high level crafting. Alchemy as a craft, as well as the products it produces are heavily tied to the Alchemy Skill line, providing various benefits to his tool usage, quality and quantity of his creations and many more. Alchemy can be performed from the Menu at any time outside of combat. This page and the linked pages cover all materials and ingredients used in the Alchemy process.

• See the Potions, Decoction, Oils and Bombs pages for details on Geralt's Witcher tools made via Alchemy.
