Alchemists Stone
Reading the description it says that it is a 50% reduction in Alchemy. (The Manual)
When reading the description when clicking on the object it says that you get more 'Money' when alchemizing.
It says nothing about 50% on gem reduction on Alchemy....BIG difference.
As I have never used it, can anyone clear this up for me please.

Re: Alchemists Stone
I'm under the impression that it doubles the gold return from alchemizing fire/earth gems.

Re: Alchemists Stone
It's only gold.
If only it DID reduce gem-cost in alchemy. Then it would be 1 for 1.

Re: Alchemists Stone
It is a fairly worthless artifact. You get the same from hiring independent alchemists.
I think this one needs improvement

Actually, it stacks with alchemists.

If it were more expensive it would be a bad deal, but at only 6 gems with a hammer, it has plenty of niche. Even in normal games, there is often the need to alchemize the occasional fire gem to make ends meet, and in some extreme cases (late game post Armageddon, la Rl'yeh or Ermor) gold alchemy can be quite significant. |

Second that. Thats why it should never be left to Ermor/Rly. |

Re: Alchemists Stone
It isn't worth being an artifact
