Learning from Paracelsus
No Expiration
Alexandria Merchant's Guild
Do you have any desire to become an Alchemist? Recently Paracelsus has been thinking about taking a pupil. They want me to approach someone at the Guild who looks like they have what it takes. You helped out with making the Philosopher's Stone, so I was thinking about you. If you've got an interest, go and visit Paracelsus

Going around the world
Oh, it's you, huh? If you're thinking about becoming an Alchemist, I'm pleased. For my locus, who has become so helpful to me to arrive... This is according to the teachings of Alchemy. The world goes around and comes around. And after you will come someone else, suffering, suffering and maybe arriving.

Instruction begins
Okay, so shall we begin training? Since you've got the background knowledge, I'll summarize the superfluous bits. For much of alchemy, I'm sure you'll remember that catalysts are necessary. Let's start from making those catalysts. Bring 1 Seal of Salamander and 3 boxes of Mercury.

Make alchemical liquid medicine (Gives 1 Seal of Salamander)
Thank you. Really 10 boxes of Red Ore are required, but this time it will be a farewell gift from me. A generally used catalyst is this Red Alchemy Ointment as well as one other, called Black Alchemy Ointment. Black Ore, Sulphur and Seal of Gnome are used in that.

Passive and active (Gives 3 Mercury)
Thank you. By the way, for Black Alchemy Ointment,Sulphur is used instead of Mercury. In the Alchemy world, Sulphur is the Active of all things versus Mercury being the Passive of all things. From these all things can be created, or so goes the traditional reasoning... Well, the things after that we'll leave for now.

First, together with Paracelsus
It's difficult to get your hands on Alchemy books. Those of you who have no technical books, come to me. I will lend you my knowledge. At the start, take up Western books and paper, and start with a manuscript of valuable knowledge of Alchemy as well... The catalysts have probably stabilized by now.

Each Eise man's stone is unique
Well, you've taken your first step as an Alchemist. I'm praying that someday you will find your way to the Philosopher's Stone. The Philosopher's Stone is different for everyone. For me as a doctor, it was the research for a remedy, but what kind of research will it be for you I wonder.

The secrets of alchemy
Let me teach you that main point of Alchemy. Alchemy is what materials are composed of, researching what they will change into, and searching for what will turn into a certain thing, the study of realizing that process. The theory of making things... That is the quest which is sleeping in all of us.

Sometime, at some extreme moment
What I'm telling you may sound difficult to you still. But when you've come to the end of the road, you'll understand. The end that you go is one that only you can make. Your truth is one that only you can make.
Alchemy is also exactly that.

The alchemist
I learned the foundation of Alchemy from Paracelsus. To see through to the true nature of materials, transforming materials it seems is the research of Alchemy. Arabic and Casting, religious studies and others are necessary. To master the way of Alchemy, I'll have to gain extensive knowledge.

You cannot repeat this quest. You can only repeat the job card quest (the one you see available).

If i had 30k Adventure fame , but my friend has r13 Handicrafting and do not have 30k adventure fame can we still see the quest?

Laurencio

In theory, yes. In practicality, not so much. Job quests are Very finicky about making you have all the reqs.

Kicker

Also, the person with the fame has to pull the quest. You can't leech fame.

Sonia

You can't see the quest. I tried before by me, having the skills and my friend having the fame. Didn't show up. You must both have the fame and skill for this to show up

"I tried before by me, having the skills and my friend having the fame."
Derp. I just said you can't leech fame. You can't leech fame. Get it? You can't leech fame. For any quest.
If your friend had the fame, your friend would have to pull the quest, and try to leech your skills. For most quests it'll work eventually, usually with a lot more QMP than if the person pulling had all the reqs. Job quests... a lot of them won't work unless you have every req, including languages.

IO: try 50k of each fame, make sure you have italian, and be prepared to spend many more QMP then 40, i would suggest SpecialQMP. job related quests are always a pain.

Cornelia

tresure hunt grimodor r13 clue gives this
Versuvious10-26-2014
Note : Fostering the Art of Alchemy WILL NOT SPAWN if either it or Learning From Paracelsus was the last quest you took. you MUST do a quest in between to re-do the job card quest (Fostering the Art) so dont waste you qmp's :)
Slim-Jim11-17-2015
I can confirm this can be pulled with 30k adventure and 30k trade fame.
Wsp07-13-2016
Strange, but YOU CAN redo this quest by using the same treasure hunt clues from Grimoire.
Ash03-03-2017
So after doing some searches and actual tries, I found out you actualy need to have East Coast of Latin America Port permit to Find/Get (From somebody who pulled it) this quest! Its a weird Requirement and don't know why it's there but it's definitly there. So Futur alchemist be aware!
Aguirre03-10-2018
Thanks, Ash. I tried completing this quest line with an alt and he couldn't take the quest with the message being about a port permit. Didn't make sense to me at the time but that would seem to clarify it.
