Perk: Mixology
You receive an increased effect and duration when drinking an elixir or flask you know how to make.
How it works
Alchemy is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:
- Effect 1 is Trade Skill (effect type 47).
- Effect 2 is effect type 118, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 3. It scales with 1 times spell power.
What it does
Alchemy is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it has a Trade Skill effect.
Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
