Class Information

Unlock: Reach Silver-II Rank (5,000p) -OR- Purchase for 15,000 XP

The Alchemist spawns with a set of wooden tools, an Alchemist's Brewing Stand and an Alchemist's Tome. The Alchemist can place their unique brewing stand.

  • Becomes a private brewing stand no one can open.
  • Potion brewing time is halved in this stand.
  • Enemies instantly break it, even with a left-click.

The Alchemist's Tome can produce a number of items when opened with a right-click

  • Has a 90 second cooldown.
  • Also shows how to make each Enhanced Potion (read below) when left-clicked.

List of items and chance of obtaining them:

  • (32% Chance) Very Common: Fermented Spider Eye.
  • (28% Chance) Common: Glistering Melon, Golden Carrot, Sugar, Spider Eye, Magma Cream.
  • (15% Chance) Uncommon: Glowstone Dust.
  • (7% Chance) Rare: Ghast Tear, Nether Wart.
  • (3% Chance) EXTREMELY Rare: Blaze Powder: Only possible after Phase 4.
  • (15% Chance) Junk: Rotten Flesh, Poisonous Potato, Snowball, and String.


Alchemist Enhanced Brewing

The Alchemist can brew Enhanced Potions using a cauldron.

  • These potions are extremely powerful, thus are class-bound, meaning that the player cannot switch to another class before drinking/splashing the potion.
  • The water in the cauldron will deplete when used, so be sure to have a ready water supply!
  • Teammates cannot pick up items that the Alchemist has thrown into the cauldron, however enemies can pick them up, so be careful.
  • Sneak to retrieve thrown items from the cauldron.

To brew an Enhanced Potion:

  • Throw in any tier 2* (Dusted) potion and its base ingredient (blaze powder, sugar, ghast tear...) in a cauldron.
  • To brew a splash potion, throw in a gunpowder as well (note: will only apply level 2 effects to other teammates).

Tier 2 Potions is just the name for potions with glowstone dust or redstone dust added, also known as a "Dusted Potion".

Pros

  • Free brewing ingredients, hence saving a lot of gold.
  • Free private brewing stand.
  • Ability to brew Enhanced potions.
  • Very strong for rushes as you can get speed 3 (+60% movement speed), regen 2 for a longer duration and strength 3 (+9 attack damage).

Cons

  • Alchemist's Tome is unreliable.
  • Enhanced potions are class-bound and don't buff friendly players to the full extent.

Tips & Tactics

  • Start grabbing ingredients from the tome as soon as possible when the cooldown finishes.
  • Get a stack of gold and use it only for Nether Wart and bottles, allowing you to brew a ton of potions when you get your ingredients.
  • Combine the abilities of this class with the brewing ingredients obtained from the farmer class to obtain potions without spending gold.
  • Some maps have sand, which you can smelt for bottles.
  • Using enhanced potions require playing as Alchemist, therefore it is up to the player to decide whether to switch classes to have a different ability or to spend that potential on having enhanced potions on hand.
  • Make a 20 minutes invis potion, drink it and change to the class you want to use while you keep the effect.
  • Never use an empty hand when taking potions out of the cauldron, sometimes it can bug and it won't show the potion in your hand and upon clicking on the cauldron again, you might splash it by accident. Using a hand with an item in it will make the potion go to a different slot in your inventory which means it won't splash on accident.
