Alchemy v2

[Tomash667]

Some improvements:

• ingredient level - level 1 is used for weak potion, 2 for medium, 3 for strong
  • level 1: healing herb, blue herb
  • level 2: ?, magic crystal
  • level 3: ???
• level 2 & 3 ingredient can't be eaten unless player have some feat
• more potions with different ingredient

In terms of ingredient level (I estimate that it is easy to implement) I have following suggestions:

To keep logical integrity, level 2 ingredient for healing recipes should be a mineral / ore. Item's mesh could be easily reused from magical crystal, only a unique texture would be required/desirable. And I think it could get some straightforward, self-explaining name, like Vitalit (or "Healthisium" :smile:).

I think that spawning of ingredients could loosely follow these rules (as a guideline, not definite rules):

• L1 ingredient is easily available in nature (herbs/plants)
• L2 ingredient is somewhat precious, but occasionally found in nature (minerals, trophies from slightly magical creatures)
• L3 ingredient should be rare. It could be retrieved from supernatural creatures/places or under special condition, like at some specific date (I am aware that similar thing is implemeted already, so this is somewhat low-effort solution). More advanced (and difficult to implement) could be possibility for player to craft such ingredients (for example in above-mentioned special conditions).

About increased number of ingredients: Items are dehardcoded already, so adding more of them seems easy. But is their spawning scripted too? It seems that it is not, so I think it should be a priority before adding lots of new items/ingredients.

Recipes should have some failure rate. If the craft would fail, there could be a list of potential (negative) effects that would affect the player (such as poisoning). These things should be rather simple to implement (number, list and a few calculations; effects are already there).
