Alchemist

Alchemist is a production subclass in Elder Tale that specializes in the creation and use of magic items. It is a prerequisite for other more advanced subclasses.

Overview
A Production subclass who can craft and handle various magic items. For People of the Land who have far more difficulty having access to magic, magician more or less refer to Alchemist for them.

As its name suggests, an alchemist is basically a researcher who studies the magical effects of elements and chemicals upon people and other things. Alchemy is the subject of transforming one element into another, also known as transmutation. One of the most famous of all transmutations is the ability to transform base metals such as lead into gold.

Alchemists can create things such as potions, poisons and magic catalysts but not on the same level as its advanced subclasses. Most of the products of this subclass are battle orientated, and provide either debuffs (such as lowering defense), damage over time (e.g. poisons), and minor buffs to themselves (like a speed boost). Although their creations aren't normally of the healing nature, they are capable of creating minor healing items, although they generally lack potency. An experienced and high-level Alchemist can increase the value of raid drops so it is normal to find some Adventurers who choose to stay as such without evolving subclasses.
