advice on what magic items to buy for an alchemist.


Advice


I have a PFS alchemist but I don't know what good magic items would be. My thought was a headband of intelligence, but I know that can't be the only good option. Anything from ultimate equipment is fine. Effects I am looking for are plusses to hit, increased DC's on my bombs, but any kind of bonus helps. Thanks!


Your level and available gold would be extraordinary helpful here. For instance, a Cadeuces Rod from occult adventures would be a major fun toy... but it's 150k+ gold if I recall. You're pfs, so probably can't afford that by the time you retire. But what can you afford?

Headband of int+x.
Anything from the craft alchemy list, at half cost.
I honestly don't see why more characters aren't loaded with small situational items and a handy haversack, and it fits alchemist so well... Dust of anything, feather token of "I've got one of those" and such.
Oh, and don't forget the 2nd level alchemist formula Alchemical Allocation. Buy expensive one shot elixirs and use them several times a day as second level spells.


Also, high level potions of barkskin, heroism, and shield of faith are good candidates for alchemical allocation.

But yeah, how much gold are we talking about?

To get more decint bombs cheep you will want a Hybridization Funnel for only 200 gold.

Right now I have 3.5k gold. Looking for things <10,000 gold to consider. Liking the suggestions so far.

Remember in pfs you can craft alchemical items, Including weapons like acid and alchemist's Fire. Also get a Handy Haversack and a portable alchemy lab.
