Getting started in Alchemy:

Step 1: Obtain the inards of the various types of beetles from the seilwood forest (skinning knife required)

Step 2:  Repeat these basic recipies

Alchemist's fire:
Purchase glass flasks (craft vendor)
Obtain the bellies of fire beetles
Place both into the Alchemy table in equal quantities

Acid Flask:
Purchase glass flasks (craft vendor)
Obtain the bellies of bombardier beetles
Place both into the Alchemy table in equal quantities

Choking Powder:
Purchase small leather pouches (craft vendor)
Obtain the glands from stink beetles
Place both into the Alchemy table in equal quantities

Tanning oil:
Purchase glass flasks (craft vendor)
Obtain yellow mushrooms (Zhainge River)
Obtain the bellies from fire beetles
Place all three into the Alchemy table in equal quantities

Step 3: Repeat these steps a lot.

(for extra credit, make your own flasks through tinkering)

Note: Many/most of the other alchemy recipies require cross-craft skills and products.  Brush up on your cooking (flours, juices and oils) and gem crafting (gem dusts a-plenty).

How to make a short sword:

Smelting
-Collect copper or other metal (Goblin’s cave and will need a heavy pick)
-Put nugget into public furnace at the smith’s
You now have an ingot.

Tinkering
-Collect clay (Lake Alon and need a shovel)
-Put in Tinkering Furnace to make a medium mold (need tinkering tools)
You may now have a mold.

Smelting
-Place the mold and 4 ingots onto the Anvil-Weapon Making (equip a smith’s hammer)
You now may have a short sword.

The same process is used for other types of weapons. The difference is the number of ingots, the size of the molds, and the metal used.
