Overview

Alchemists are skilled chemists who combine potion brewing with powerful chemical techniques. Their ability to create consumables, use specialized skills, and command a Homunculus gives them a unique playstyle unlike any other class.

In combat, Alchemists rely on offensive chemical skills, item-based abilities, and their Homunculus to overcome enemies. As their Homunculus grows stronger, it becomes an increasingly important part of their combat strategy.

Outside of combat, Alchemists are known for crafting useful items and supporting both themselves and their party. Their mix of resource management, companion progression, and utility makes them a rewarding class for players who enjoy planning ahead and developing both their character and their Homunculus.

After reaching Base Level 99 and Job Level 50, Alchemists can transcend and begin a new journey through a stronger High-class path. By advancing through the transcendent route and reaching Second Class once again, they can evolve into Biochemist.
