Alchemical Ingredients and New Environments 

[p]Greetings, Pathfinders! [/p][p][/p][p]This week we’re excited to share a fresh batch of concept art including a first look at alchemical ingredient icons and a glimpse into never-before-seen environments. From experimental concoctions to towering cliffside fortresses, there’s plenty to explore, so let’s get into it! [/p][p] [/p][h3]Alchemical Ingredients [/h3][p]Work has begun on our vision for the alchemy system in which players will gather a variety of ingredients from the Vaults and its environs to craft valuable upgrades and extracts for their flasks. [/p][p] [/p][p][/p][p]Above and below are first looks at icons that represent this range of substances (plus a few bonus non-alchemy currency icons!). Can you guess what alchemical ingredients and currencies these icons might represent? Share your best guesses in the comments! [/p][p] [/p][p][/p][h3]Caligni Stronghold[/h3][p]The Caligni Stronghold is a fortification secured by the Crimson Eye Caligni who have come to the area to worship their new oracle, with whom our heroes would very much like to have a word. However, one does not simply walk into a Caligni Stronghold... [/p][p] [/p][p]When designing this location, it was important to create something with the opportunity for a striking vista. With that in mind, we decided to place it on a cliff with waterfalls to create a strong, cinematic moment. As always, we tried to make the most of verticality wherever possible! [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]For the stronghold itself, we wanted it to feel like a more recent construction—hence the choice of wooden materials. Since the Caligni are squatters, it made sense that they’d build something quickly to establish and fortify their foothold in the Darklands. [/p][p] [/p][h3]Glimm Fizzletop’s Alchemitorium [/h3][p]Funded by a Kickstarter stretch goal, the Fizzletop Alchemitorium belongs to Glimm Fizzletop, a traveling alchemist with a curious past. Glimm recently made his way to Otari to offer his premium services while in search of rare ingredients. His wagon offers a wide range of alchemical services to the party... so long as they supply him with what he needs. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Talia’s Tailoring Emporium [/h3][p]Talia’s Tailoring Emporium is another Kickstarter-backed stretch goal service. Operated by Amelia Candlebright, an outfitter with a surprising life story and a penchant for making outfits that go well beyond the means of traditional village tailors, she is ready to offer her range of services related to the heroes’ armor, outfits, and styling.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]That’s all for this week’s progress update!
