The talent tree for Potion Craft allows you to specialize your alchemist as you level up.
You earn one talent point every time you level up, and you spend it on one of the available branches to advance. There are three main categories: Alchemy, Trade, and Gardening.
My tip for making quick progress: start with the Alchemical Card up to Level IV, then the Alchemical Practice up to Level IX.
Once your level has stabilized, focus on Trade and Negotiations to raise your prices and maximize your income.
How to earn talent points in Potion Craft ?
You earn one talent point each time you level up. You gain experience mainly by brewing potions and while picking up the green books that appear on the alchemical map.
The more you brew, the faster you'll progress. There are no shortcuts: leveling up takes time and requires careful management of your ingredients.
Each level you unlock gives you exactly one point to invest in the talent tree. So plan your priorities right from the start, so you don't spread your points too thin.
Can you reset talents in Potion Craft ?
Yes, you can reset your talent points. This action has a cost in gold. The cost increases based on the number of points you've already invested. If you want to change your build during the game, it's best to wait until you have a good gold reserve before resetting.
Which talents should you pick first?
Here is the recommended order based on the game phase:
- Start of the game: Upgrade the Alchemy Map to Level IV. You'll explore the Alchemy Map faster and spot useful ingredients without wasting time.
- Intermediate phase: invested in Alchemical Practice up to Level IX. Green books appear more often, which significantly speeds up your leveling and experience gain.
- Advanced stage: Switch to Trade and Negotiations. Selling potions to merchants becomes much more profitable, and each gold transaction earns you more.
If you focus more on gardening, the Gardening branch is a good addition to unlock alongside Alchemy.
Talent Categories
The talent tree is divided into three main categories:
- Alchemy : Alchemy Card and Alchemy Practice. These talents improve your efficiency when brewing potions and your experience gain.
- Trade : Trade and Negotiation. These skills make selling potions to merchants much more profitable.
- Gardening : Several skills related to growing ingredients in your garden. These skills speed up harvesting and improve the quality of your plants.
Alchemical Card: Visibility Radius
Talent Alchemical Card Increase your field of view on the potion map. A larger radius lets you explore new areas faster and find more ingredients for your potion recipes.
This is the first skill you should improve: a good visibility radius on the alchemy map saves you time during each brewing session.
| Level | Description | Points |
|---|---|---|
| I | Increases radius by 10% | 1 |
| II | Increases radius by 20% | 1 |
| III | Increases radius by 30% | 1 |
| IV | Increases radius by 40% | 1 |
| V | Increases radius by 50% | 2 |
| VII | Increases radius by 60% | 2 |
| VII | Increases radius by 70% | 2 |
| VIII | Increases radius by 80% | 2 |
| IX | Increases radius by 90% | 3 |
| X | Increases radius by 100% | 3 |
Level up this talent to Level IV right from the start. The line-of-sight bonus remains useful throughout the game and makes every recipe you prepare easier, whether you're exploring the garden or navigating the alchemical map.
Alchemical Practice
The branch Alchemical Practice Increases your chance of finding bonuses on the alchemy map. These bonuses appear as green books. You collect them by exploring the map to gain experience. Each book you collect gives you additional experience points, which speeds up your leveling up.
Books appear at random locations, and their positions are updated every in-game day. Level IX, the highest level in this branch, maximizes their appearance and significantly speeds up your progress.
| Level | Description | Points |
|---|---|---|
| I | Appearance Chance Bonus: 10 % | 1 |
| II | Appearance Chance Bonus: 15 % | 1 |
| III | Appearance Chance Bonus: 20 % | 1 |
| IV | Appearance Chance Bonus: 25 % | 1 |
| V | Appearance Chance Bonus: 30 % | 1 |
| VII | Drop Rate Bonus: 35 % | 1 |
| VII | Appearance Chance Bonus: 40 % | 1 |
| VIII | Appearance Chance Bonus: 45 % | 2 |
| IX | Appearance Chance Bonus: 50 % | 2 |
Combine this field with the Alchemical Card. A wider visibility radius allows you to spot more books on the alchemical map, which means more experience each time you brew potions.
Trade
The branch Trade of Potion Craft Improve your bargaining skills with merchants. The higher your level, the more favorable the starting prices will be when you sell potions or buy ingredients. This bonus applies to all your transactions with merchants.
This is the branch you should focus on once your level has stabilized. Each tier increases your sales profit, leading to prices of 50 % that are more profitable at level X. Investing here quickly boosts your gold reserves and makes each sale much more profitable.
| Level | Description | Points |
|---|---|---|
| I | Prices become 5% more profitable | 1 |
| II | Prices become 10% more profitable | 1 |
| III | Prices become 15% more profitable | 1 |
| IV | Prices become more profitable 20% | 1 |
| V | Prices become 25% more profitable | 2 |
| VII | Prices become more profitable 30% | 2 |
| VII | Prices become more profitable 35% | 2 |
| VIII | Prices become more profitable 40% | 2 |
| IX | Prices become more profitable 45% | 3 |
| X | Prices become more profitable 50% | 3 |
Negotiations
The branch Negotiations makes you more effective when dealing with merchants. With each level you unlock, you can haggle for a larger discount off the original price. The result: you sell your potions for more and make much more profitable deals. The haggling bonus reaches up to 30 % at the final level, representing a significant gold gain on every potion sold to merchants.
| Level | Description | Points |
|---|---|---|
| I | You can haggle for up to 5 % off the original price | 1 |
| II | You can haggle for up to 10 % off the original price | 1 |
| III | You can haggle for up to an additional 15 % off the original price | 2 |
| IV | You can haggle for up to an additional 20 % off the original price | 2 |
| V | You can haggle for up to an additional 25 % off the original price | 3 |
| VII | You can haggle for up to 30 % off the original price | 3 |
Combine this field with Trade to become a top-notch salesperson with merchants and maximize your earnings on every potion sale.
Gardening Skills
The Gardening category includes several sections dedicated to growing and harvesting ingredients in your garden.
These skills help you produce more ingredients without relying solely on merchants. Here are the main branches available:
- Harvesting wild plants: increases the chances of harvesting large quantities of herbs, mushrooms, or crystals in areas overgrown with vegetation.
- Plant Care: improves the quality of the herbs and mushrooms grown in your garden.
- Crystal growth: accelerates crystal growth and improves harvest yields.
- Fertilization: allows you to use potions to speed up crystal growth in the garden.
These talents are useful if you want to be self-sufficient in ingredients and reduce your spending at merchants. They are unlocked the same way: one talent point per level invested in each branch.
Which build should you choose based on your playstyle?
There are two main approaches you can take in Potion Craft :
- Fast-track build: Alchemy Card IV, then Alchemy Practice IX. You level up quickly thanks to the books, and you unlock your most complex potion recipes in no time.
- Build a pure-play e-commerce business: After completing the Alchemy skill, put all your points into Trade X and then Negotiations VI. Selling potions to merchants becomes extremely profitable. This build is ideal for accumulating gold quickly.
- Gardening project: If you'd rather grow your own ingredients, complement Alchemy with Gardening skills. You'll reduce your reliance on merchants and save gold on purchases.
