Alchemy Pot List for Dragon Quest 8

Potions

• One important use of the Alchemy Pot is combining less potent herbs and potions into more powerful ones. For example, two Medicinal Herbs yield one Strong Medicine, which restores 50 or more hit point, and two Strong Medicines yield one Special Medicine, which restores 90 or more HP. A Medicinal Herb and one or two Antidotal Herbs combine to create a Strong Antidote or Special Antidote, which restore some HP and heal poison. Two Special Medicines produce a Lesser Panacea, which restores all HP and heals poison and paralysis; two of these produce a Greater Panacea, which restores all HP and removes all status effects.

Cheese

• The Hero can feed cheese to Munchie for healing, special attacks and other magical results. The spicier a cheese, the more Fire-based damage Munchie deals. For example, Plain Cheese (Scorching Cheese plus C-c-cold Cheese or Fresh Milk plus Rennet Powder) causes him to deal six or more Fire-based damage to enemies; Spicy Cheese (Plain Cheese plus Red Mold), 30 or more Fire-based damage; Super Spicy Cheese (Spicy Cheese plus Nook Grass or Plain Cheese plus two Red Molds), 65 or more Fire-based damage. Make Munchie deal Ice Damage by feeding him Cool Cheese (Plain Cheese plus Waterweed Mold), Chilly Cheese (Cool Cheese plus Waterweed Mold), Cold Cheese (Chilly Cheese plus two Waterweed Molds) or C-c-cold Cheese (Cold Cheese plus Premium Mold plus Dragon Dung).

Weapons

• The Alchemy Pot provides an opportunity to take low-level weapons, which might not sell for very much, and turn them into something useful, either to sell or to wield. Some of these weapons combine to produce even more powerful weapons: for example, a Rusty Old Sword, Orichalcum and Slime Crown combine to produce the Liquid Metal Sword, which has +118 Attack Power and sells for $5,000. Combine this with a Dragovian Sword to produce the Dragovian King Sword, which has +137 Attack Power (but is unsellable). An Eagle Dagger and Poison Knife yield the Assassin's Dagger, which randomly kills an enemy instantly; this combines with the Devil's Tail to produce the Imp Knife, which absorbs Mana Points with each attack.

Armor

• The Alchemy Pot can produce powerful armor that increases Defense Power and protects the wearer against certain spells and attacks, such as Fire attacks or Sleep spells. The Divine Bustier (made from a Dangerous Bustier and a Shimmering Dress) is somewhat of an anomaly, adding 105 to Defense Power and changing Jessica's appearance, but adding no spell resistance. The Alchemy Pot can turn several cursed shields into more useful items: for example, combining Thantos' Shield, a cursed item that increases Defense Power by 55, with Saint's Ashes to create the Goddess Shield doesn't add any Defense Power, but removes the curse and adds the ability to reduce Fire, Magic and Ice attacks by 50 percent.
