Alchemy, the Forge, and the Dice Table

Alchemy

🧪 Brewing
Recipes are followed at the bench by hand: boil, grind, add, time. Alchemy skill raises quality and unlocks batches; a bad step ruins the batch. Saviour Schnapps is the recipe everyone learns first.
💣 Gunpowder
New this time, and a trophy: Hic-Hic-Boom is making it drunk. Brushes with Death wants a quality mandrake decoction for Nothing But the Best.

The forge

⚒️ Blacksmithing
Heat, hammer on the rhythm, quench. Quality follows Craftsmanship and your timing; a perfect sword is worth its weight. Reforged is upgrading Radzig’s sword, the one from the first game.
🏠 Your own forge
Legacy of the Forge gives Henry a smithy in Kuttenberg with upgrades, a garden, a raven chamber and guild jobs. Innovator is every sketch collected and every item bought.

Dice

🎲 Farkle, with badges
The tavern game from the first game, with badges that bend the rules: better odds, rerolls, protection. Shiny is winning a gold badge in a game of dice; badges come from winning and from finding them.
🃏 The Jester
Patch 1.5.6 added a second card game at the Hangman’s Halter, Balatro-flavoured, with its own quest.

Still to verify

Cross-checked on 17 September 2026 against PowerPyx, Fextralife and the Kingdom Come wiki. What is still unverified is the only thing reading cannot settle — nobody here has played it.
