What is confirmed about alchemy?
News From the Depths says an alchemy system has been added, with complexity behind a deliberately approachable interface. The team wants it to feel optional and natural rather than compulsory. It also mentions new potions for different situations, without publishing an exhaustive release recipe table.
How does that relate to early recovery?
In the demo discussion, the developer points to potions and Rest when explaining how characters manage resources. Inspect the effect of the item you actually have before using it to solve a particular shortage. Do not assume a health item, stamina support and mana recovery are interchangeable simply because all are consumables.
How should you build a reliable recipe reference?
Record the game build, exact recipe, required materials and observed output together. Keep an untested combination separate from a confirmed result. This site has not established all ingredient locations, brewing quantities or the most efficient farming route, so those details remain pending rather than being filled from unrelated games with the same name.
