ALCHEMY EXTRACT (verb)
From Krakiipedia, the unofficial free GemStone IV encyclopedia.
ALCHEMY EXTRACT allows a character to put an ingredient into a crucible, which cooks away the majority of the ingredient, leaving behind a new one. It is taught at rank 15 of General Alchemy.
One task requires the alchemist to go extract some items.
Here's a list of what becomes what when extracted:
| Originally | Extracted Form | Recipe Code |
|---|---|---|
| Sea Water | Sea Salt | salt |
| Any troll skin | essence of regeneration | regen |
| yabathilium fruit | essence of vitality | vitality |
| ayanad crystal | some faintly glimmering dust | dust1 |
| s'ayanad crystal | some faintly glowing dust | dust2 |
| t'ayanad crystal | some faintly radiant dust | dust3 |
| n'ayanad crystal | some faintly shimmering dust | dust4 |
| murdroot | murdroot essence | |
| crystal core | crystal core essence | |
| stick | charcoal | charcoal |

You select an unused latite crucible and set it up on the barrel-shaped workbench.
You carefully place the ayanad crystal within the crucible and set its burner aflame.
Roundtime: 10 sec.

As the flames lick about the base of a latite crucible, its contents slowly begin to crackle with the heat.
You bring your hands up to either side of the crucible and focus your concentration on the burgeoning energies within.
Roundtime: 10 sec.
R>
Concentrating on your crucible, you gently tap into the swirling energies within and subtly guide the extraction process.
Roundtime: 10 sec.
R>
Holding your concentration on your crucible, you continue to guide the process within by deftly molding the swirling eddies of magical energy.
Roundtime: 10 sec.
R>
Sensing the process nearing its end, you banish the flames from beneath the latite crucible with a thought. As its contents cool, you gingerly collect the results of the extraction, removing some faintly glimmering dust from within.
This takes 10 mana and 40 seconds. The roundtimes overlap.
Troubleshooting
So you can't extract. There are a few possibilities...
>alchemy extract
The elemental core doesn't appear to be suitable for extraction.
This is not something you can extract. Try something else.
>alchem extract my vial
The glass vial doesn't appear to be an alchemical ingredient.
This is not something you can extract. Using the verb alchemy examine, you can see that this isn't even alchemy related. If like in this case it's a vial that can hold sea water, you may be out of sea water.
>alc ext
You don't appear to be in an alchemical workshop.
Congratulations, braniac. You must be in an alchemy workshop with a crucible in order to extract. Please locate one and try again.
