Im surprised how cheap this key item is in gp for how damn usefull it is. Now I can hq up some gill faster and make more profit at the same time. About freakin time this thing came out. Besides the quikness that I can now pump ou the beeswax I can make a stack of poison potions in 4 synths instead of 12-13. wOOt!
The recipes used with Trituration are rather odd, some being 2 others being 3x the original recipe, and for example, animal glue actually has to change the recipe just alittle to keep the item count under 8 (for those who do not know, you can not use more then 8 ingredients in a single synth).
So for animal glue the recipe is Key Item: Trituration Crystal: Fire Bone Chip x4 Rabbit Hide x2 Distilled water x1 Triturator x1
yeild: 2, 4, 6, 8
While Posion potions are Key Item: Trituration Crystal: Water Poison Dust x3 Mercury x3 Triturator x1
yeild: 3 (no increase for HQ just like the original recipe)
Or Firesand is Key Item: Trituration Crystal: Eath Sulfur x2 Bomb Ash x4 Triturator x1
Yeild 4, 8, 12, ??? (This synth I have not actually performed yet).
And the only decent recipe of them all is vitriol Key Item: Trituration Crystal: Water Treant Bulb x6 Triturator x1
Yeild: 3, 6, 9, 12
To my knowledge you can never craft more then a single stack in one synth. So, for example the prism powder synth, is a waste if you can consistantly HQ (I personally can not, however, still, loosing 6 for every 4 synths blows...)... However you have the savings in crystals... so I guess it evens out.
No you get the key item Trituration from alcamy. It is the same as say Lumberjack is for wood working. you buy this item from the guild for 75 gill each. It is the same principle as boundling twine is for wood working.
