Alchemy

The Alchemy skill does two things that I am aware of:

improves the effectiveness of potions
allows the use of Trophies

If anyone has any more specific details on how Alchemy effects potions I would love to add more info to this guide...

As for Trophies, these are items that will grant a temporary boost to a particular character stat when used. Initial testing shows the effects last for 25 seconds, however this testing was limited. You use a Trophy just like you would a potion and you can even assign them to a potion slot. When a Trophy's effects are active your character will have a graphical aura around it.

Trophies are found in enemy drops, only certain enemy types will drop Trophies and they will only drop the Trophy style that is specific to them. For instance, if you want to collect Skull Trophies you need to go hunting for Skeletons.

If you don't have any points in Alchemy you won't be able to use the Trophies at all. For each additional point you put into your Alchemy skill the effectiveness of your Trophies goes up by a small amount. If anyone figures out the formula for the increase please let me know.

Below I will write a list of Trophy styles and what boosts they grant. I would love to add images for the Trophies if anyone wants to send me screenshots, just please make sure that you only have 1 of the Trophy style in your inventory because they are stackable and the number showing how many you have will obscure the image. Also the list is very incomplete so if anyone comes across other Trophy styles please send me images so I can add them to the list!
