So I did the alchemical secret thing (in my case from the Recognizing Spring) annnndddd... where do I go from here?
I have my recipe and ingredients...
But I can't find a kettle to use for alchemy anywhere.
And I don't know what to do if I do find one.

The kettles are cauldrons. They look like big black bowls. In Runewick, it's in the hospital building, in Cadomyr it's in the marketplace against the wall and in Galmair it's in the first building on the left as you enter the town by the main gate.

I'm not sure what you need but for sure you need potion bottles. Maybe a mortar. And the herbs, of course.

There's an alchemy book that explains pretty much everything you need (in character) to make potions.

With confirmation that the "kettles" are cauldrons, I set to work.
So you have to use a Bucket of Water at the cauldron, then use your ingredients, and finally use an Empty Bottle to bottle the liquid.

Not everything, it doesn't explain how to actually do it.
Just tells you that you need a "kettle".

* may be a good way is to find an Alchemist or Druid and ask him/her for lessons and help
* or ask an Alchemist / Druid to become a Student of him/her

as i know there are some charakters making potions (and if i remember right all 3 towns have alchemists)

Oh I've figured it out now.
Bit late to the party.

This points to a pretty clear confusion in our wording. In the interest of removing as much frustration as we can, is it possible to change the word 'kettle' to 'cauldron' in the instructions? Or conversely to rename the 'cauldrons' as 'kettles'?

There already are kettles for cooking, but that'd be nice.

I will keep that in my mind when I rewrite the book (this won't be anytime soon, though).

I would love to rewrite the book for you! *pick me* *pick me*

as i know Alchemy will be reorganized / will change - may be the "new alchemy book" should be written when the "reconstruction of alchemy" is finished
