Welcome to a land where creation is but a simple step away from ingenuity plus a few simple resources imbued with ancient alchemy - this is Alkemia. Prepare to harness the primal art of alchemy and to join the ranks of creators who have been shaping and reforming the raw land of Alkemia into a thriving livelihood centered on a grand city of alchemy deemed Crasis. Governed by a circle of seers and a single Grand Alchemist, who wields boundless talent and protects the ancient secrets of the Greater Elemental Spirits, Crasis now seeks its next Grand Alchemist, who will be one of the few alchemists attempting to prove their abilities by synthesizing the legendary Crest of Creation. This crest, a fabled mysticism documented to usher the golden age of alchemy and balance, can only be crafted by one skilled alchemist able to harness the five elements of earth, fire, water, air, and ether, using both natural and manufactured resources.

Take to the urban bazaars and elemental wilds of a land that is enriched by the power of alchemy blessed by the elements. Players can look forward to managing organic resources as one of six characters to craft powerful items in a race to become the Grand Alchemist. First, harvest the Foraging Fields to gather your base reagents and collect recipes used to craft items; then, alchemists will combine their base reagents to synthesize items from their recipes – all with usable effects aimed to both assist the creator and hinder competitors. Players will ultimately quell everything at their disposal to create their own legendary Crest of Creation via a randomly generated recipe gained through playing, which will lead the most skilled alchemist to victory. Do you have what it takes to be worthy of the Crest of Creation? Be prepared, for Destiny’s recipe calls for you
