Shortcuts: Alchemist (Class)

| Contents [hide] |
"The esoteric practices and closely guarded secrets of the alchemical trade were long scorned by the uninitiated as profane acts of heresy. It was not until recently when certain of its undeniably effective applications were incorporated into the medical and pharmaceutical sciences at Frondale's Phrontistery that the field came to be reexamined in a new light. Alchemy now comprises the vast majority of the curriculum at the Phrontistery, which has even become home to the Alchemists' Guild, opening its doors to any who wish to learn the craft."
"The path to becoming an Alchemist begins with you taking up the tools of our trade. Our primary task is the creation of medicines and elixirs through concoction and transmogrification. There are numerous tools that we employ in our laboratories. A master alchemist is intimate with all of them, and aware of the most minute difference any two tools may have on the same synthesis." - Kylene

Jemimi also offers use of the Guild's Facilities to Alchemists who are in need of support in their synthesis. Common, Guild, and Master's Laboratory support is available for a small fee, which increases as your Alchemist Level increases. Currently, some recipes have a "recommended" level of support, which will have a negative impact on your synthesis if you choose not to obtain the proper level of support. On a side note, you can obtain Common Laboratory support from Repair NPCs, and various Camps across Eorzea.
"The Phrontistery sees patients with every type of affliction known to man. If we are to treat them all, we must maintain our stock of alchemical supplies at all times. If you seek employment, you need look no further. Will you help us to gather the provisions we need? You will be paid for your trouble, of course." ~ Nogeloix
Guild Tasks are simple quests in which the guild requests the adventurer to bring various items to the guild in exchange for a reward. Currently only Level 1 and Level 10 Guild Tasks are available. The requested item changes daily, and the reward varies. (Gil, Shards, etc.) You can find out which Tasks are available by either talking to Nogeloix or by examining Task Boards around Ul'dah.
As you level your Alchemy, you will be able to undertake various quests that will require your talents as an Alchemist.
