Once you have obtained the Alchemy Pot, it will be accessible from the Misc. menu tab. It is possible to scroll through another character’s personal inventory to search for a particular Alchemy pot ingredient. An item is usable if it displayed normally. However, when it is “grayed out,” this means that the item is either equipped by a certain character or is unusable as an ingredient.

Note that at the start of the adventure, the Alchemy Pot can only hold 2 ingredients at a time. It can hold an additional item (3 total) when certain conditions are met. This allows you to craft something more complex.

The Alchemy Mixing Process

In the original PS2 version, when ingredients are placed inside the Alchemy Pot, one of two events will occur: either the mixing process will fail due to incompatible ingredients put together, or King Trode will tell you that it will take some time for the Alchemy Pot to finish mixing.

However for the 3DS version, there is no longer any use for walking since compatible ingredients put in the Alchemy Pot will produce the item instantly.
