Alchemists and Resonance

[KungfuCracka]

So I've go through the rules and forums. There is a lot of debate and interpretation, enough to confuse someone working out some of the details. So here is my question.

When Alchemists do their daily prep? Do they use RP (Resonance) to make bombs? Potions?

I know other PCs use RP to drink potions and Alchemists use healing potions they made with quick alchemy at no additional RP cost. But I'm trying to nail down their daily prep costs.

Also, does daily prep for an alchemist cost money to make bombs/potions as well as a craft roll?

Thanks.

It doesn't cost money, but they do spend resonance for items like bombs and healing elixirs (but at the rate of 1 RP for two items). Quick alchemy is more flexible but is 1 RP for any item in their formula book.

Also of note these items have the infused trait which means that the alchenist doesn't have to pay any additional RP cost of the item. For example during daily prep you make an elixir of life, when you go to drink the elixir later you don't have to pay a point of resonance. However, if you pass that elixir off to someone else they do have to pay 1 RP to drink it.

Another point is that the infused trait means the items made with it become inert after 24 hours.
