## AbilitiesEdit

A noteworthy detail is that any consumables created by the Chemist can be used not just on yourself, but any other hero just as well. This comes at the cost of having 1.5x regular cooldown, and a massively reduced selling price.

### Create Potion (Q)Edit

Creates Chemist's Potions that can be tossed at targets. As the Chemist gains in level and intelligence, he also has a higher chance of creating better potions. Has 75/70/65/60/55 seconds cooldown. Costs 100 MP.

This ability can create many different potions, determined by a point system.

$X = floor(INT / 10) + floor(LVL * 1.5) + (ALVL * 30) + Rand(0, 50)$

• If X is 100 or less, a Chemist's Potion is created.
• If X is between 101 and 200, a Chemist's Hi-Potion is created.
• If X is between 201 and 350, a Chemist's Mega Potion is created.
• If X is between 351 and 499, a Chemist's X-Potion is created.
• If X is 500 or more, a Chemist's Elixir is created.
 Additional Info It's highly recommended to use this ability frequently while playing as Chemist. The potions created by it can also be used by other jobs or other players.

### Create Ether (W)Edit

Creates Chemist's Ethers that can be tossed at targets. As the Chemist gains in level and intelligence, he also has a higher chance of creating better ethers. Has 75/70/65/60/55 seconds cooldown. Costs 100 MP.

This ability can create many different ethers, determined by a point system.

$X = floor(INT / 10) + floor(LVL * 1.5) + (ALVL * 30) + Rand(0, 50)$

• If X is 100 or less, a Chemist's Ether is created.
• If X is between 101 and 200, a Chemist's Hi-Ether is created.
• If X is between 201 and 350, a Chemist's Mega Ether is created.
• If X is between 351 and 499, a Chemist's Turbo Ether is created.
• If X is 500 or more, a Chemist's Remedy is created.
 Additional Info Everything regarding Create Potion also applies here; this is one of the Chemist's basic bread and butter skills and should definitely be made use of. Especially in the early game, if you decide to pursue the Magic Tree further, it's useful to stock up on several ethers with this ability.

### Poison Bottle (E)Edit

Throws bottle with poison that deals 15/30/45/60/75 damage per second for 12 seconds. Costs 65 MP.

The learning tooltip is actually erroneous, as the poison lasts 15 seconds (20 on Master level), not just 12. The ability tooltip correctly reflects this.

Cooldown is 9 seconds at all levels.

Damage per second increases by 15 per level but massively spikes at Master level, jumping up to 250 per second.

 Additional Info This ability is quite powerful in the early portions of the game, easily capable of taking out enemies on the side while you attack a different target. The damage it deals is actually very impressive even at low levels, although it will only leave minor scratches on enemies later on.

### Oil Barrel (R)Edit

Drenches enemy units in oil, lowering their movement speed by 8/16/24/32/40% and attack speed by 15/20/25/30/35% and making them have a 14/21/28/35/42% chance to miss on attacks.|nLasts 9/10.5/12/13.5/15 seconds. Costs 50/75/100/125/150 MP.

Cooldown is 15 seconds at all levels.

MP cost increases by 25 per level, peaking at 275 at Level 10, but being reduced to 250 at Master level.

 Additional Info Definitely one of the most powerful debuffs in the game. The speed reduction and miss chances are both immense and severely weaken any and all enemies that primarily use regular attacks. And unlike Blind and Silence, there are no enemies immune to this ability. Duration against regular enemies starts at 9 seconds and increases by 1.5 seconds per level, finally getting raised to 25 seconds at Master level. Duration against resistant enemies starts at 4 seconds and increases by 1 second per level, finally getting raised to 15 seconds at Master level. This means the debuff can eventually be reapplied as soon as it runs out, keeping enemies perpetually afflicted.

### Alchemy (T)Edit

Goes into a rage of alchemy, creating a vast amount of potions and ethers.|nCosts 200/400/550 MP. The amount of consumables created starts at 4 on Level 1 and increases by 4 per level.

The quality of consumables created is dependent on luck and the Chemist's level. For every consumable created, the following formula calculates its quality:

$X = floor(LVL / 25) + Rand(0, 7)$

• If X is 0 or 1, a Chemist's Potion or Ether is created.
• If X is 2 or 3, a Chemist's Hi-Potion or Hi-Ether is created.
• If X is 4 or 5, a Chemist's Mega Potion or Mega Ether is created.
• If X is 6 or 7, a Chemist's X-Potion or Turbo Ether is created.
• If X is 8 or higher, there is a 1/5 chance that a Chemist's Hero Drink is created. Otherwise, a Chemist's Elixir or Remedy is created.

Any of the results have a 50% chance of being either a Potion or an Ether.

At Level 75 or above, the chance of creating at least one Chemist's Hero Drink is about 79%.

 Additional Info A somewhat lackluster ultimate ability at first glance, but useful for mass-producing consumables, and it is also the only way to get the potent Chemist's Hero Drink.

### Pharmacology (Passive)Edit

Any potions or ethers used by Chemist have double effect.
 Additional Info This applies to both regular and Chemist's consumables, including Hero Drinks, excluding Nectar, Greater Nectar, Spirit Potion and Blood Ether. By their very nature, Elixir, Megalixir and Remedy do not benefit from this ability either. Note that if a non-Chemist uses a Chemist's consumable on a Chemist, it does not have double effect, but the reverse does hold true. Finally, the Hidden Hero Medicine accessory is not affected by this ability. A universally useful ability that complements the job perfectly. Doubling the effects of Hero Drinks and Chemist's Hero Drinks is especially powerful.
