Editing Alchemy Pot (section)

==={{DQ8}}===
The Alchemy Pot is said by King [[Trode]] to be an ancient heirloom which belonged to the [[Kingdom of Trodain]], but fell into disuse over the years. After [[Dhoulmagus]] cursed [[Trodain]] castle and its inhabitants, Trode was able to spirit the pot out of the castle and discretely worked on it during the night, hoping it can be of some use to the party. If the player spends the night at an [[inn]], sometimes Trode can be seen working away in order to restore the Alchemy Pot. Once the {{Party 8}} is on the [[Ship|Ferry]] to [[Peregrin Quay]], Trode proudly declares to the party that the Alchemy Pot is now fully usable once again. It becomes upgraded by Trode once again after [[Medea]] is lost in [[Pickham]], allowing the combination of three items together in the Alchemy Pot.

The player can learn [[alchemy]] recipes by reading from various bookcases throughout the world.

In the {{PS2}} version of the game, the player had to travel a set amount of distance in order for items to be completed in the Alchemy Pot, with more advanced items requiring more time to be alchemized. The [[Lord of the Dragovians]] offers the party to upgrade the Alchemy Pot once more after completing one of his Dragovian Trials, which allows the Alchemy Pot to perform combinations instantaneously. The {{3DS}} and [[Mobile]] version of the game added changes to the Alchemy Pot which were introduced in {{Dragon Quest IX}}, such as the ability to complete items instantly as soon as the pot is acquired and the ability to make multiple items at once, as well.

All versions of the game include the option to get several recipes from the [[armour shop]] merchant from [[Farebury]].  Each one becomes available after a certain point:
*[[Thief's Key]] Recipe - Available after Trode is waiting outside [[Farebury]].  Found under the [[church]] bell in the town.
*[[Eros' bow]] Recipe - Available after the {{Party 8}} obtains their [[ship]].  Behind the crates next to the ladder of the watchtower in [[Pickham]].
*[[Imp knife]] Recipe - Available after the {{Party 8}} defeat  [[Dhoulmagus]] at the [[Northwest Isle|Dark ruins]].  In front of the fountain at [[Castle Trodain]].
*[[Dragon slayer]] Recipe - Available after the apparition of the [[Black Citadel]] in the sky.  Behind Ascension Way (the transport chamber that leads to the Lord High Priest's Residence) at [[Savella Cathedral]].
