Building Level 1

:new: Recipe 1A: Transmute COMMON Crafting Materials into different COMMON Crafting Materials

:bow_and_arrow: @zephyr1’s observation: because this Transmutation will never produce the same item as used as an ingredient, it’s possible to limit the output to as few as three possible items by using four different items as ingredients.

Building Level 3

:new: Recipe 3A: Transmute COMMON Ascension Materials into different COMMON Ascension Materials

:bow_and_arrow: @zephyr1’s observation: This Recipe can be used for producing Adventurer’s Kits/Backpacks from other Common Ascension Materials (Training Manuals, Rugged Clothes, and Practice Swords). That was a frequent request during the original Alchemy Lab Beta, but was previously not implemented in the first version of Alchemy Lab released to the live game. And because this Transmutation will never produce the same item as used as an ingredient, it’s possible to limit the output to a single particular item by using all of the other items as ingredients.

Recipe 6B: Transmute RARE Ascension Materials from UNCOMMON Ascension Materials

:bow_and_arrow: @zephyr1’s observation: as with the current live Alchemy Lab, this Recipe can only produce FARMABLE Ascension Materials, i.e. Battles Manuals, Chainmail Shirts, Scabbards, and Tall Boots. As such, it likely remains largely useless for most players, as most people typically have large stockpiles of these materials by the time they’d be able to Build and Research Alchemy Lab Level 6.

:new: Recipe 9B: Transmute EPIC Battle Items from into different EPIC Battle Items

:bow_and_arrow: @zephyr1’s observation: this Recipe breaks the pattern, in that all the other “B” Recipes before it are existing ones for upgrading the rarity of an item. Instead, this is a new Recipe for Transmuting an item into another item of the same Rarity, like all of the “A” Recipes before it. The equivalent of the existing Level 9 has instead moved to 10A. Like the other same-rarity Recipes before it, because this Transmutation will never produce the same item as used as an ingredient, it’s possible to limit the output to as few as two possible items by using all of the other items as ingredients.

Building Level 10

Recipe 10A: Transmute RARE Ascension Materials into different RARE Ascension Materials

:bow_and_arrow: @zephyr1’s observation: this Recipe is the equivalent of the existing Level 9 Recipe., but with the 5% chance for an EPIC Ascension Material removed. It breaks the pattern of the other Recipes, however, in that it’s been moved from Level 9 to Level 10. I have no idea how this will work when released to the live game for people who’ve Built and Researched Level 9, but not Level 10 — perhaps they’ll just lose access to it until upgrading, and then it will still have the Research completed once they unlock the Building Level?

Like the existing version of this Recipe, it allows Transmuting FARMABLE Ascension Materials into UNFARMABLE Ascension Materials. Because of that, while it’s named akin to Recipes used for Transmuting items to other items of the same rarity, it’s effectively a Recipe for upgrading items. This is actually reflected in the game iconography, as this Recipe has the :arrow_double_up: icon instead of :twisted_rightwards_arrows:.

While the 150 gem fee has been removed, the Food cost has been MASSIVELY increased — from 168k to 2650k.

The Alkashard production has also been hugely increased, from 450 to 1050; that’s notable not only for the absolute increase, but also for jumping from 4.5% of the Alkashards needed to Combine to 105%, because of the reduction in required Alkashards for Combining from 10000 to 1000.

:bow_and_arrow: @zephyr1’s observation:

NOTE: The Ingredients are Rare FARMABLE Ascension Materials, and the output is a random Rare UNFARMABLE Ascension Material. So you’re trading from Chainmail Shirts, Battle Manuals, Scabbards, and Tall Boots to a random Compass, Gloves, Orb, Hidden Blade, Trap Tools, Cape, or Shield.

Recipe 10B: Transmute EPIC Ascension Materials from into different EPIC Ascension Materials

:bow_and_arrow: @zephyr1’s observation: while this Recipe also is notable, like the one before it, for the elimination of gems and replacement with a massive Food cost, as well as the large increase in Alkashard production — the biggest change is that it takes TWO 4* Ascension Materials to get ONE, instead of being an even one-for-one trade like the old version of the Recipe.

While that’s arguably fair, given the eliminated gem cost and increased Alkashard production, it’s hard not to come away from the experience feeling slighted, even if you get what you wanted. Feedback so far in Beta would seem to agree — many players have noted they don’t like losing out on a 4* Ascension Material in the trade.

The one upside of requiring 2 Ascension Materials is you can choose different ones, which reduces the possible output to one of 5 Ascension Materials instead of 6, slightly increasing the odds of getting what you want. But that would seem to be at a very heavy cost of reducing your overall pool of 4* Ascension Materials by one.
