Mixtures ( potions, oils and bombs) are created by combining selected ingredients, which include herbs, monster parts and minerals, with a medium, referred to as a base. This also includes mutagenic potions like Werewolf's Wrath, however, since those require unique ingredients you only have 1 attempt at getting the recipe correct, also you will usually obtain the appropriate recipe prior to obtaining the unique ingredient.ДЇor the main article, see The Witcher ingredients. For example if you mix while using a potion base it will unlock the recipe for White Honey or Specter Oil if you use a blade coating base instead.ДЄ clear benefit of using this method is that any recipe can be obtained at any time. It is possible to tell if an experiment is a failure or a success based on their inventory icon as failed experiments always have the same icon while all success' have individual icons. If it doesn't work then the experiment will likely hurt Geralt, or in the case of oils his sword. If your ingredient combination was correct the formuae will be added to your journal and can now be used just like any other unlocked recipe. The result will always be an unknown potion, oil or bomb and must first be tested in order to see if the experiment works. This method requires manually mixing ingredients along with an appropriate base in an attempt to create a new potion, oil or bomb. Scrolls can be purchased, found or acquired as rewards for services rendered.ДЄs mentioned by Kalkstein, when asking him about alchemy, formulae can be obtained by experimenting. These recipes are generally found in the form of scrolls, but some are acquired through word of mouth. All alchemical creations are based on formulae.
