Spontaneous Alchemy time for Ultimate Equipment


Rules Questions


I just picked up the Alchemy Manual (I'm playing an Alchemist in a 'Wrath of the Righteous' Campaign) I very much appreciate the chart in the back including the new recipe and times for items from the Core book as well the new ones introduced.

I was wondering if there was a way to calculate adjusted alchemy times for some of the things in Ultimate Equipment. In particular, Alchemical Grease and Alchemists Kindness (Given the excitement over the fact that I can now make magical booze, that might become very necessary)


I was giving thought to this very same topic, I am working on a homebrew archetype for an alchemist that focuses on spontaneous alchemy. But there doesnt appear to be a rhyme or reason to either the recipes or the crafting times. So I think it would just have to be made up.

For instance, the Acid alchemical weapon uses Distilation, which i guess makes sense and takes 1 day as mentioned i nthe processes section at the beggining of the product, but a blanch bomb uses congelation but takes an hour instead of 10 minutes.

All or most of the items appear to cost less then the sum cost of their regeants. So I guess spontaneous alchemy is meant to cost significantly more then normal crafting, but there isnt an obvious pattern that I can figure out that would allow me to calculate how much other items cost.
