Alchemist Guildsman

[Parmy Gianino]

Welcome to the

Alchemist Unio--

I-Impossible! How c-can

something like this happen?

Wait, wait...

I'm sorry. I was confused,

that's all. You look just like

someone I used to know.

Still, I get this weird

feeling about you...

Welcome,

The Alchemist Union

is busy today, like always.

Everyone is busy with their

own research, but recently, some headway has been made in the field of biotechnology.

Everyone is hoping that the biotechnological studies will yield positive results. Speaking of which, I wonder how the Alchemists working on artificial life are doing...

Alchemist Union.

We are recruiting

talented people

with novel ideas.

If you're interested in working with chemistry, visit us later when you become more knowledgable.

Just one thing:

You've got to have

knowledge of items

as a Merchant first.

If you know any exceptional Merchants, by all means, please refer them to us. Those types of people tend to have a talent for Alchemy and experimentation~

How may I help you?

Alchemists study and create new substances and items out of existing materials. Our knowledge allows us to change the properties of chemicals at the atomic level.

Most people think our final goal

is to create gold, but that's not the entire truth. We also want to create things like medicines

and new materials.

A few of us research the

creation of life, although many of us consider that god's territory. That field is so complex, most of us deal with slightly less complicated projects anyway.

If you are interested in becoming an Alchemist, I recommend that you first get a lot of experience as a Merchant. Being a Merchant is a great opportunity to learn about materials as you deal with them.

Whether or not you try to become

an Alchemist is your decision. The road to becoming an Alchemist is very challenging, and you'll need to focus on experimentation and research, instead of commerce.

Is that so?

Nice to meet you.

My name is Parmy Gianino

of the Alchemist Union.

If you join our Union and

complete the training, you

will be officially recognized

as an Alchemist and be able

to contribute to our research.

But we don't accept everyone.

You must have a lot of tenacity

and sincere devotion in exploring

the various fields of science.

There are a couple

of requirements to join

the Alchemist Union, but

we'll discuss that

after you apply.

Well then, would

you like to apply

for registration?

Hmmm...

Just a moment.

I'm sorry to say that

you're not experienced

enough as a Merchant to

join us right now.

You must be at least

Job Level 40 to become

an Alchemist. Come back

later when you meet the

Job Level requirement, okay?

Alright, your application has been accepted. Now, you must pay the 50,000 Zeny application fee and bring some items before you can begin your formal training.

But if you bring an Old Magic Book and Hammer of Blacksmith,

we will accept that as a substitute for the item requirement.

Now...

Please sign

the application.

Good, good. Now, if you have

the Zeny for your application fee ready, I will tell you which items you will need to bring. Now, pay attention.

Uh oh. You don't

seem to have enough Zeny.

Come back to me when you have 50,000 Zeny, otherwise we can't process your application.

Let's see.

needs to bring...

7 Berserk Potions.

100 Mini Furnaces.

7,500 Fire Arrows.

Once you've gathered

those items, come back

to me and your training

as an Alchemist will begin.

See you soon~

Talented Merchants

are always welcome here.

Please come back soon.

Umm...

Please let me know

if you need anything.

Well now~!

You've brought an

Old Magic Book and

a Hammer of Blacksmith.

We'll put these items

to good use.

Okay, now you need to learn

the basics to being an Alchemist and learn the procedures for mixing chemicals and medicines.

But before all of that, you need to speak to Raspuchin. I'm not really sure what you'll be talking about with him...

It shouldn't be anything extraordinary, but you're still required to speak to Raspuchin, since apparently he's a part of the Alchemist selection process.

Seems like

you're all ready.

The Union will put

these items to good use.

Aren't you ready?

Like I said before,

you must bring

Come back when you

have prepared the

required items.

Go and talk to

Mr. Raspuchin.

He's involved in the

Alchemist selection process, whatever that might mean.

Hopefully, it

won't be too much of

a problem. I guess he'll just interview you, and ask you

some simple questions.

Ah, I'm sorry, but

I'm busy right now~

Why don't you ask

someone else if you're

not sure who to visit

next? Good luck~
