Quest Description

Timaeus is deeply enraptured with alchemy. He wonders if there are others like him, that are drawn to this ancient and mysterious art...

(Talking to Timaeus)

I want to find out more about alchemy.

Timaeus: The ancient art of alchemy is simply captivating... I wish more people appreciated it.

Timaeus: Oh, you're into alchemy too?

Very much so.

Timaeus: Well then, (‍boy/girl‍), it's time for you to get some first-hand experience!

Timaeus: All great accomplishments start with a firm grasp of the basics and go from there.

Understood.

Timaeus: So then, let's start with something simple.

Timaeus: Let's have you start by making some (Flaming/Shocking/Frosting) Essential Oil.

Timaeus: It is a foundational alchemical procedure. The best place for beginners to start.

(If Flaming Essential Oil): Timaeus: To make Flaming Essential Oil, you will need a frog and some flaming flower stamen.; Timaeus: You should easily be able to find these outside the city – You want to know why we mix a frog with a fire?; Timaeus: Why, flaming flowers have to be diluted with the mucus found on frogs' skin before they are safe for consumption...; Timaeus: I mean... Ah, no! I didn't say anything. I said nothing!; Timaeus: Once you've gathered everything, try and create some Flaming Essential Oil. No half measures now, give it all you've got! I'll be watching from here.
(If Shocking Essential Oil): Timaeus: Shocking Essential Oil is made from electro crystal and frog.; Timaeus: It shouldn't be too hard to find them when you're out and about. Gathering raw materials is a major part of the alchemist's work, you'll just have to get used to it.; Timaeus: Both can easily be found outside the city— What? You can't see a connection between crystal and essential oil?; Timaeus: Hahaha, that's because there is none! The electro crystal is for the shocking part; it's the frog that provides the essential oil.; Timaeus: Once you've gathered everything, try and create some Shocking Essential Oil. No half measures now, give it all you've got! I'll be watching from here.
(If Frosting Essential Oil): (missing dialogue)

Okay.

(Talk to Timaeus again before crafting the potion)

Remind me about that potion?

Timaeus: Have you finished making the (Flaming/Shocking/Frosting) Essential Oil?

Still working on it...

(If Flaming Essential Oil): Timaeus: Flaming Essential Oil is made from frog and flaming flower stamen.
(If Shocking Essential Oil): Timaeus: Shocking Essential Oil is made from electro crystal and frog.

Timaeus: It shouldn't be too hard to find them when you're out and about. Gathering raw materials is a major part of the alchemist's work, you'll just have to get used to it.

Timaeus: When you've found them, try making some (Flaming/Shocking/Frosting) Essential Oil and show me how it turns out.

(Talk to Timaeus after crafting the potion)

Yes, it's ready.

(If Flaming Essential Oil): Timaeus: That sure smells like Flaming Essential Oil alright! And you can really feel the heat too.; Timaeus: Did you know that there is a similar recipe using butterfly wings instead of frog?; Timaeus: Voila! You have yourself a Heatshield Potion. If you're ever rescuing a baby from a burning building, this little thing will make sure you don't even break a sweat.; Timaeus: Amazing, isn't it? The very same flaming flower stamen can, depending on the specific alchemical process used, produce two completely opposite effects.; Timaeus: Take this Heatshield Potion and get a taste of what alchemy can really do!
(If Shocking Essential Oil): Timaeus: Nice work! This is some genuine bona fide Shocking Essential Oil alright. It helps people channel Electro energy more easily.; Timaeus: Now, let me tell you what happens if you swap the frog for butterfly wings!; Timaeus: It produces a powerful Insulation Potion, which protects the taker against electroshocking.; Timaeus: Amazing, isn't it? The very same electro crystal can, depending on the specific alchemical process used, produce two completely opposite effects.; Timaeus: Go on, take this Insulation Potion and get a taste of what alchemy can really do!
(If Frosting Essential Oil): Timaeus: Wow, that's a mighty fine batch of Frosting Essential Oil you've made! Rub some of this on you to get more in touch with your Cryo side...; Timaeus: But guess what happens if you swap out the lizard tail and use crystal core instead?; Timaeus: Boom! You got yourself a Frostshield Potion, which protects you against the harmful effects of too much playing in the snow, amongst other things!; Timaeus: Amazing, isn't it? The very same mist flower corolla can, depending on the specific alchemical process used, produce two completely opposite effects.; Timaeus: Here's a Frostshield Potion for you. Now, go and get a taste of what alchemy can really do!
