=== Cart Revolution Build ===
 
 
 
* STR: 70-90
 
* AGI: 30-50
 
* VIT: 70-90
 
* INT: 1+
 
* DEX: 50
 
* LUK: 20-40
 
 
 
This build is centered around the [[Cart Revolution]] skill for AoEing groups of monsters at once. [[ASPD]] does help Cart Revolution spam rate, especially when pushing monsters against walls. [[Mammonite]] still provides high single target damage.
 
 
 
=== AGI Build ===
 
 
 
* STR: 70-90
 
* AGI: 80-99
 
* VIT: 50-70
 
* INT: 1
 
* DEX: 40-60
 
* LUK: 20-40
 
 
 
The AGI build is is usually recommended for newer players without funds. They have high [[ASPD]] and [[FLEE]] for quick single target killing, so it uses minimal HP / SP [[Healing Items]]. Their main method of attack is melee-ing single monsters, and sometimes utilize [[autocast]] gear. Alchemists do not have skills that increase flee rate (like a [[Thief]]'s [[Improve Dodge]], so it is recommended to use at least SOME sort of [[FLEE]] gear (such as Falcon Muffler or Whisper carded garment).
 
 
 
Useful Gear for AGI Builds:
 
* {{Item List |id=5388 |item=Snake Head | simple=yes}} [1] or {{Item List |id=5283 |item=Chick Hat | simple=yes}}
 
* {{Item List |id=5469 |item=Musketeer Hat | simple=yes}}
 
* {{Item List |id=18666 |item=CD in Mouth | simple=yes}}
 
* {{Item List |id=2576 |item=Heroic Backpack | simple=yes}}
 
* {{Item List |id=2678 |item=Ring of Flamelord | simple=yes}}
 
* {{Item List |id=2725 |item=Medal of Honor | simple=yes}} or {{Item List |id=2910 |item=Bakonawa Agimat Tattoo | simple=yes}}
 
 
 
=== Tank/Aid Potion Healer Support Build ===
 
* STR: 40+
 
* AGI: 70+
 
* VIT: 70-90
 
* INT: 1+
 
* DEX: 30-50
 
* LUK: 20-40
 
 
 
=== Pure Homunculus Killer/AFKemist Build ===
 
* STR: 1
 
* AGI: 90+
 
* VIT: 90+
 
* INT: 1
 
* DEX: 30-50 (for leveling up until getting a [[Homunculus System|Homunculus]])
 
* LUK: 20-40
 
 
 
=== Acid Terror/Bomb build ===
 
* STR: 80-90
 
* AGI: 1+
 
* VIT: 70-90
 
* INT: 1
 
* DEX: 30-50
 
* LUK: 20-40
 
 
 
This build is for rich players with a lot of funds that want to level faster.
 
 
 
=== Brewer ===
 
* STR: 1
 
* AGI: 1
 
* VIT: 1
 
* INT: 46
 
* DEX: 90
 
* LUK: 94
 
 
 
This has one of the highest success rates for [[Potion Creation]], but requires a lot of leeching or a lot of AFKing with a [[Homunculus]]. [[LUK]] may be preferable to [[DEX]] as most [[Gypsy|Gypsies]] and [[Minstrel]]s have high [[DEX]] but do not have any [[LUK]]. Thus, when [[Marionette Control]] is used with this build, the Alchemist will receive a significant boost in [[DEX]] from the [[Gypsy]] or [[Minstrel]], and the Alchemist's own [[LUK]] will further increase success rates for brewing.
 
<br><br>
 
This stat build is '''NOT''' recommended if you have [[Marionette Control]] available to you to boost stats. If you are using [[Marionette Control]] you can reasonable expect a +45 boost to DEX for most builds with 90 DEX.
 
<br>
 
If you have access to [[Gypsy]] or [[Minstrel]] on your server you really shouldn't even be looking at the stat builds for the Alchemist as the job level of 70 for the biochemist greatly increases the success rate for potion creation.
 
 
 
== Equipment ==
 
=== General Equipment Recommendations ===
 
 
 
:''Main article: [[Equipment]]''
 
 
 
The Equipment article lists some general all-purpose equipment that is useful through the PVM phase and also for endgame use as well.
 
 
 
=== Weapons ===
 
 
 
After considering what requirement skills have (some skills can only be used with certain weapon types), the Weapon Search tool within the iRO Wiki DB site is very helpful. Generally, for physical classes (both melee and ranged), something with high [[ATK]] is best. For magic classes, something with high [[MATK]] is best.
 
 
 
The weapon used is primarily based upon one's build. For example, an Alchemist prioritizing [[AGI]] and [[ASPD]] should generally use [[One Handed Sword|Swords]]. Those preferring to maximize damage are better suited with [[Axe]]s. The following is a listing of the most common weapons and why they are beneficial:
 
 
 
==== Common Weapons ====
 
[[One Handed Sword|Swords]] are some of the most common among Alchemists primarily due to the relatively low [[ASPD]] delay as well as their moderate [[ATK]]. However, the player will be unable to benefit from having a [[Blacksmith]] partner, which is relatively rare. Also, because of the skill [[Axe Mastery]] it is evident that one will be able to bring out optimal damage from an [[Axe]]. However, Axes have a large [[ASPD]] delay, which means they swing slow but hard. On the positive side, players using Axes can not only benefit from [[Axe Mastery]] but also a [[Blacksmith]] partner.
 
 
 
* '''{{Item List |id=1126 |item=Saber |slots=3 |simple=yes}}''': A common weapon generally used with damage cards. ([[ATK]] 115)
 
 
 
* '''{{Item List |id=1137 |item=Excalibur |simple=yes}}''': A great weapon for [[Potion Creation|brewing]]. ([[ATK]] 150, [[INT]] +5, [[DEX]] -1, [[LUK]] +10, [[Holy]] property)
 
 
 
* '''{{Item List |id=1130 |item=Nagan |simple=yes}}''': A sword that deals extra damage with Level 5 [[Double Attack]] and it's rather light, but it lacks of Card Slots. ([[ATK]] 120)
 
 
 
* '''{{Item List |id=1360 |item=Two-handed Axe |simple=yes}}''': The best choice for [[element]]al weapons because they have the highest [[ATK]] among weapons [[Forging|forgable]] by [[Blacksmith]]s. However, they lack of Card Slots, so a study is required. ([[ATK]] 185)
 
 
 
==== Spell Weapons ====
 
* '''{{Item List |id=1366 |item=Light Epsilon |simple=yes}}''': An axe that allows the use of Level 3 [[Heal]]. ([[ATK]] 180, +3% damage to [[Demon]], [[Holy]] property)
 
 
 
* '''{{Item List |id=1133 |item=Fireblend |simple=yes}}''': A sword that allows to use Lv. 3 [[Fire Bolt]]. ([[ATK]] 100, [[Fire]] property, may [[autocast]] Lv. 3 [[Fire Bolt]] while attacking)
 
 
 
* '''{{Item List |id=1131 |item=Ice Falchion |simple=yes}}''': A sword that allows to use Lv. 3 [[Cold Bolt]]. ([[ATK]] 100, [[Water]] property, may [[autocast]] Lv. 3 [[Cold Bolt]] while attacking)
 
:''5% chance to freeze the enemy while attacking, '''0.1% chance to get frozen while attacking'''.''
 
 
 
* '''{{Item List |id=1135 |item=Cutlus |simple=yes}}''': A sword that allows to use Lv. 5 [[Bash]]. ([[ATK]] 150, [[STR]] +2, [[DEX]] +1, S Grade [[Socket Enchant|slottable]])
 
 
 
* '''{{Item List |id=1368 |item=Tomahawk |simple=yes}}''': An axe that allows to use Lv. 1 [[Tomahawk Throwing]]. (ATK 165, [[Wind]] property)
 
 
 
== Homunculus System ==
 
:''Main article: [[Homunculus System]]''
 
The '''Homunculus''' is a pet that kills, supports, and does everything for its master. An {{item |id=7142 Embryo}}, from which a Homunculus will be born, can be created via [[Prepare Potion]] with the following materials purchasable from the {{shop |id=alde_material Al de Baran Material Seller}}, in the Alchemist guild {{navi|alde_alche|35|179}}:
 
 
 
* {{Item List |id=7141 |item=Morning Dew of Yggdrasil |simple=yes}}
 
* {{Item List |id=7140 |item=Seed of Life |simple=yes}}
 
* {{Item List |id=7143 |item=Glass Tube |simple=yes}}
 
* {{Item List |id=7134 |item=Medicine Bowl |simple=yes}}
 
* {{Item List |id=7144 |item=Potion Creation Guide |simple=yes}} (not consumed)
 
 
 
Once an Embryo has been created (or purchased from another player), use the skill [[Call Homunculus]] to receive 1 of 4 types of Homunculus. The Homunculus received is random, and each type has two sprite variations. Much like [[Cute Pet System|Cute Pets]], Homunculi need to be fed or they will leave their owner:
 
* '''[[Amistr]]''': {{item|id=912 Zargon}}
