The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt eGuide Appendices and Compendiums Inventory Alchemy

Alchemy Overview

Alchemy components contain alchemical substances that allow them to be used in making oils, bombs, and potions. You can acquire alchemy components by picking herbs that grow throughout the game’s world, by defeating monsters and harvesting their remains, or by purchasing them from alchemists and herbalists you will encounter. While more expensive than harvesting items in the wild, it can save you a great time of time when needing specific materials to complete a recipe. Be aware that some monster remains function both as alchemy and crafting components.

Remember: formulae must be found in the world as loot, or purchased from vendors. The formulae names will clearly tell you what the result will be. Rather than listing the formulae separately, we have placed the required materials to create items, if applicable.
