Alchemy, Herbs and the Grindstone

Alchemy

🧪 The bench
A recipe is a set of physical steps: water or wine in the cauldron, herbs in, boil for turns of the hourglass, grind, distil. Follow the book exactly; Alchemy skill lets you skip steps later and brew in batches.
🍺 Saviour Schnapps
Nettle and belladonna in wine. The first recipe to learn and the one to keep brewing: it is the save button.
🌿 Herbalism
Plants are everywhere and Herbalism grows by picking; levelling it widens the gathering radius, so each pick takes more plants of one kind.

The rest

⚒️ Maintenance
Weapons dull and armour tears. The grindstone sharpens for free if you keep the angle; repair kits fix the rest; blacksmiths charge. A dull sword is why the bandit did not die.
🎯 The bow
No reticle. The archery range in Rattay and the hare hunt teach the arc; Hunting turns it into meat and money.
🎲 Dice
Farkle in every tavern, with loaded dice to find. The cheapest way to be rich by Rattay.

Still to verify

Cross-checked on 17 September 2026 against the Kingdom Come wiki and Warhorse’s own descriptions of the alchemy minigame. What is still unverified is the only thing reading cannot settle — nobody here has played it.
