Second tier

Alchemist

Second tier Base level 51 to 99 Merchant line

Alchemist is the alternative advancement option for the Merchant. Unlike its first class, the Alchemist enjoys multiple possible playstyles, from the very familiar "all gas no breaks" style of the Merchant to more defensive and supportive options.

On the offensive side, the Alchemist uses its newly acquired Chemical skills to do exceptional damage to enemies, even from a distance. Acid Terror and Demonstration serve to both deal regular and consistent damage to enemies, while also inflicting the Vulnerable and Burning statuses respectively. These skills also function to generate Extort stacks, allowing the Alchemist to very quickly build up Extort for use with Mammonite or their new finisher, Conflagration, to deal massive damage over a wide area.

But offense isn't the only choice available for the Alchemist. Similar to, though not quite as flexible as, the Blacksmith's Reinforcement skills, Alchemist has access to a suite of Alchemical Enhancements that provide powerful improvements to their party's equipment. That said, these skills do not need a party to find themselves useful, as they all can apply their full effect to both the user themselves and their Homunculus.

Utility Skills2 skills

Homunculus ResearchPassiveLv 10

Enables Homunculus creation quests, passively improves summoned Homunculi.

Enables the user to craft Homunculi at the Alchemist's Guild. Each additional level beyond the first improves the stats of any Homunculus summoned by the user.
- Homunculus SystemThe Homunculus System has been entirely reworked. The vanilla system for using Homunculi has been entirely removed: Homunculi have predetermined stats, predetermined skills, and do not gain experience. Another major change is that the player has virtually no control over the Homunculus's actions. Homunculi have their own AI (which cannot be changed by the player in any way). All Homunculi behave differently, based on what type of Homunculus they are, and will use all of their skills automatically as they see fit. That said, the Alchemist has access to seven Command skills that allow them to give instructions to their Homunculus, triggering their skills while ignoring their internal cooldowns. These Command skills are obtained immediately upon job change, and thus are available to all Alchemists regardless of build. Alchemists can craft Homunculus Embryos at the Alchemist's Guild. These embryos are used to summon their relevant Homunculus, but are not consumed on use. When first crafted, these Embryos will summon a Homunculus that is level 60 and has access to only one skill. Further crafting at the Alchemist's Guild will allow them to upgrade their Homunculus, each level giving it higher stats and more skills to use. The highest level of Homunculus available to an Alchemist is level 99, after which the Alchemist must advance to either the Biochemist or Geneticist job to continue their Homunculus's growth. A brief overview of the four available Homunculus types and their behavior:
- LifKind and compassionate, Lif will do everything in her power to support you while you fight. However, she doesn't like fighting herself, and will even refuse to attack back in cases where she manages to pull aggro. Careful use of the Return and Hide commands will be needed to keep her out of harm's way so she can continue supporting her master and allies.
- VanilmirthBloodthirsty and dangerous, Vanilmirth will proactively seek out enemies to fight and hold nothing back when it finds one. However its defensive options are rather weak, requiring a discerning master to keep it from biting off more than it can chew, lest it face frequent and untimely deaths.
- AmistrBrave and highly protective of its master, Amistr will go out of its way to seek out and hold the attention of enemies in the area. While it has great defensive capabilities which it can even share with its master, it doesn't have the damage output to handle many encounters on its own. Amistr's natural toughness combined with clever use of the Defend command can make it an exceptional tank for the Alchemist that wants to focus their own efforts on putting out damage.
- FilirFilir is quick and deadly, boasting a high physical attack stat, high attack speed, and low cooldowns on its offensive abilities, which it learns relatively early in life. However, it is very much a coward, with only its natural Flee and the Hiding skill to protect itself. Filir will not proactively engage enemies, and may even ignore Attack commands if it isn't already fighting, preferring to wait until its master has the monster's attention before swooping in to secure the kill. The following is a list of the seven Command skills available to Alchemists. Each skill is unlocked once a Homunculus capable of responding to that command is crafted.
