Alchemical Base is a crafting liquid you make at the Alchemy Station in Enshrouded. Its item text reads, “A clear liquid with a sharp smell. Used to enhance alchemical reactions.” You cannot loot it from enemies or harvest it in the world.
Quick answer: At the Alchemy Station, combine 2 Shroud Mushroom, 2 Acidic Mycelium, 1 Shroud Particles and 1 Corrosive Blood to produce 1 Alchemical Base in 1 minute 15 seconds.
Unlock the Alchemy Station first
The recipe for Alchemical Base lives on the Alchemy Station, which you build at the Alchemist. That station in turn needs a Cauldron, so the chain starts at the Blacksmith. Work through these in order.
Craft a Cauldron at the Blacksmith. It costs 3 Iron Bars, 2 Copper Bars and 15 Bonemeal. Knowing the Cauldron is what makes the Alchemy Station recipe appear.
Build the Alchemy Station at the Alchemist for 20 Fired Bricks, 6 Wood Planks, 10 Nails, 3 Wood Logs, 5 Copper Bars and 1 Cauldron. Its item text reads, “An Alchemy Station offering all needed tools to craft better alchemical products.” The Alchemist needs a sheltered spot in your base.
Where to gather the four ingredients
Here is where each one comes from.
| Ingredient | Source |
|---|---|
| Shroud Mushroom | Found within the Shroud, with Revelwood being its most common location |
| Acidic Mycelium | Mine with a pickaxe in the Nomad Highlands Shroud |
| Shroud Particles | Every kill: Fell Squire, Fell Defender, Fell Lancer (1); Fell Sporehead, Fell Sporeseeker (2) |
| Corrosive Blood | Every kill: Fell Scout, Fell Sentinel, Fell Marksman (1) |
Acidic Mycelium carries the item text “Acidic Mycelium mined in the Nomad Highlands.” Shroud Particles reads “Contains a higher Shroud concentration compared to spores.” and Corrosive Blood begins “A volatile, acidic fluid harvested from weak Fell Foes.”
