Welcome to the marvelous, albeit a bit math heavy, world of brewing. In this guide I will provide information about Biolo's multiple brewing skills, how to get the maximum results possible and what gear and skills use to achieve this objective.

Even though this guide is focused on Biolo, most of its content can be used by the other classes that can create items with chance of success: Dragon Knight, Meister and Shadow Cross.

Simply put, brewing is the ability to create consumables and catalysts using different types of materials. The Biolo class revolves around this idea, as nearly all of their skills consumes items when used and most of those items can be created by themselves.

Biolo have five abilities that allow them to create new objects, each one with their own list of recipes, and four of them have different formulas that determine the success of the process. There are also other skills that improve the success rate of three of the brewing skills.

Sounds a bit complicated, but if you check this table you would see is quite simple:

Brewing skills
Class	Skill	Skills that improve the success rate
Alchemist/Creator	Pharmacy (Prepare Potion)	Learning Potion (Potion Research)	Change Instruction
Genetic	Special Pharmacy	Learning Potion (Potion Research)	Full Chemical Protection
	Mix Cooking	None
	Change Material	None, it has a 100% success rate
Biolo	Bionic Pharmacy	Learning Potion (Potion Research)

Notes:

• Learning Potion (Potion Research) is an Alchemist skill.
• Full Chemical Protection is a Creator skill.
• Change Instruction is a skill of the homunculus Vanilmirth, we will talk about homunculi later.
• Creation guides and books are not consumed when using your skills.
• Pharmacy (Prepare Potion), Mix Cooking and Bionic Pharmacy are customized in this server in a way that allows you to brew all possible items of a recipe at once if you have all the necessary items.

• E.g., you can create 400x Plant Bottle (7137) if you have in your inventory 1x Plant Bottle Creation Guide (7130) , 400x Medicine Bowl (7134) , 400x Empty Bottle (713) and 800x Maneater Blossom (1032) .
• It is not guaranteed to get all items, it just does all the tries at once and each one has a chance to fail based on the skill formula.

Now, let's view each skill in detail.

Formula

Creation = INT + (DEX ÷ 2) + LUK + Job_Lv + Random[30, 150] + (Base_Lv − 100) + (Potion_Research_Lv × 5) + (Full_Chemical_Protection_Lv × Random[4, 10])
Difficulty = 620 - (Skill_Lv × 20) + Item_Rate

The relation between Creation and Difficulty determines the max number of potions created:

• If Creation > Difficulty by at least 400, creates the maximum number of potions allowed.
• If Creation > Difficulty by at least 300, creates 3 potions below the maximum allowed.
• If Creation > Difficulty by at least 100, creates 4 potions below the maximum allowed.
• If Creation > Difficulty by at least 1, creates 5 potions below the maximum allowed.
• If Creation < Difficulty, creates 6 potions below the maximum allowed.

Use the Turbo function, your hand will appreciate it.

Formula

Creation = (Job_Lv ÷ 4) + (DEX ÷ 3) + (LUK ÷ 2)
Difficulty = Random(30, 150) + Item_Rate

The relation between Creation and Difficulty determines the max number of dishes prepared:

• If Creation > Difficulty by at least 30, 10~12 dishes are prepared.
• If Creation > Difficulty by at least 10, 10 dishes are prepared.
• If Creation < Difficulty by exactly 10, 8 dishes are prepared.
• If Creation < Difficulty by at least 30, 5 dishes are prepared.
• If Creation < Difficulty by at least 50, the cooking fails.

These foods stacks with Almighty (12883) and traditional cooking foods.

In the olden days there were no +20 stat foods, but there were +1~10 foods (like the ones dropped in Sarah's Memory). The recipes for these are terrible, needing not only multiple items but also various of each one to get a single food. You also need cooking kits and complete a quest to be able to cook.

Luckily, you can buy Almighty (12883) from Eden Machine at (moc_para01 52, 31) for 3x Eden Coin (25223) . This consumable gives you +10 to all stats and stacks with the +20 stat foods, but not with the traditional cooking foods.

Please, just use Almighty (12883) , it is better, easier and cheaper.

Formula

Creation = (Potion_Research_Lv × 2 × Skill_Lv) + [(Base_Lv - 200) × 4] + INT + LUK + CRT × 2
Difficulty = Random[0, 400]

The relation between Creation and Difficulty determines the max number of potions created:

• If Creation - Difficulty is greater or equal than 701, creates the maximum number of potions allowed.
• If Creation - Difficulty is lower than 701, creates 3 potions below the maximum allowed.
• If Creation - Difficulty is lower than 451, creates 5 potions below the maximum allowed.

Bionic Pharmacy is not that well documented on iRO Wiki, so I asked GemstoneRO for help about how this skill is implemented here, that is why this formula is different from the one on iRO Wiki.

Alchemist Spirit enables Alchemist/Creator/Genetic/Biolo to use four new skills, three of them being special versions of Pharmacy (Prepare Potion) that can brew specific recipes in bulk. They are not very useful here because Pharmacy (Prepare Potion) is customized so you can create in bulk, but I will add them here for completion's sake.

Checking all the formulas we can see that 3 stats and one trait are taken into account for creating items, let's normalize the values to the value of LUK to check which ones matter the most. Spoiler: it is LUK.

Brewing skills
Skill	INT	DEX	LUK	CRT
Pharmacy (Prepare Potion)	0.5	1	1	Not used
Special Pharmacy	1	0.5	1	Not used
Mix Cooking	Not used	2/3	1	Not used
Bionic Pharmacy	1	Not used	1	2

As we can see, not only is LUK used in all skills, but it also has the biggest impact besides for Bionic Pharmacy, which CRT is the one who offers the best value. But CRT is only used in Bionic Pharmacy, so the clear winner is LUK.

In fact, the items you can get from Bionic Pharmacy ain't that good except for Advanced Coating Potion (1000280) and Greater Plant Bottle (1000281) , and the four elemental acid bottles if you go with that build. So, disregarding Bionic Pharmacy, the stats priority would be:

Regarding the stats points distribution It would be:

You can put any remaining stats points into STR for weight capacity or AGI for mor ASPD, and for trait points you can put them wherever you want.

None of the skills have cast time nor cooldown, so in order to maximize the brewing speed we need to minimize the animation of each skill, that is getting 193 ASPD.

Or it would be if Pharmacy (Prepare Potion), Mix Cooking and Bionic Pharmacy were not customized with the option to create in bulk, so ASPD will only matter for Special Pharmacy.

With the stats distribution showed before, it will be hard to get to 193, but there is an easy way to set our ASPD to 190, that is using the homunculus Eira's skill Overed Boost.

The key world here is set, when using Overed Boost your ASPD will become 190 for the duration of the buff, even if you already have more than 190, so only use it if you have less than 190 ASPD.

We will have lots of DEX and some gears/cards will give AGI too, but even so, it won't be easy to reach 193 ASPD. Note that our gears main purpose is to get as mcuh LUK>DEX>INT>CRT as possible, so don't get too fixated on getting 193 ASPD.

Before getting to the Gear section, let's address the elephant in the room. I don't like using Demon's Essence LUK 3 (4925) when brewing because I think it is not worth it. Let's compare DEX and LUK once more and see the difference in their values for each skill.

Brewing skills
Skill	DEX	LUK	Difference	Demon's Essence LUK 3 (4925) (Multiply the difference by 4)
Pharmacy (Prepare Potion)	1	1	0	0
Special Pharmacy	0.5	1	0.5	2
Mix Cooking	2/3	1	1/3	4/3
Bionic Pharmacy	Not used	1	1	4

None of the cards we will use give less than +2 LUK, so it is not worth using even with the profit in Bionic Pharmacy.

From giving stats to providing materials, these will be your companions on your adventure.

Homunculi are the special companions of Alchemist classes, created to assist their master in battle brewing.

There are 20 combinations between homunculus and homunculus S, but if you have been reading up until now, you know what combination we are looking for.

Homunculus: Vanilmirth Base form Evolved form Skill Change Instruction Max Level: 5 Skill Form: Passive Description: Increase Homunculus's INT and STR. [Lv 1]: +1 INT, +1 STR [Lv 2]: +2 INT, +1 STR [Lv 3]: +2 INT, +3 STR [Lv 4]: +4 INT, +4 STR [Lv 5]: +5 INT, +4 STR

Homunculus S: Eira Base form Skill Overed Boost Max Level: 5 Description: Temporarily fixing Homunculus' and master's FLEE and Attack Speed, DEF decreases by 1/2. But, no other FLEE or Attack Speed changing effect is possible during this skill's duration. After the effect ends, the Homunculus' hungry level and master's SP decreases to half. [Lv 1]: FLEE 440 / Attack Speed 182 [Lv 2]: FLEE 480 / Attack Speed 184 [Lv 3]: FLEE 520 / Attack Speed 186 [Lv 4]: FLEE 560 / Attack Speed 188 [Lv 5]: FLEE 600 / Attack Speed 190

Pets are tamed monsters that give special bonuses, such as stats, damage amplification and skill autocast. There are two types of pets that are useful to use: the ones that give LUK and the ones that give ASPD.

• For LUK pets you can choose whichever you want, all three of them give LUK + 3. I would suggest Poring as its food is the cheapest.
• For ASPD pets the best one is Kiel followed by Aliot, which is Kiel's preevolution.

Besides the Healer and the Storage NPCs, these are the othe ones that are important to us:

NPC	Position	Notes
Mandy	(main_office 69, 63)	She sells all the basic items and books needed for brewing. Familiarize with her, you'll be putting her kids through College.
Tool Dealer	(main_office 100, 63)	Potions, ASPD potions, and gemstones.
Love Pets	(main_office 100, 29)	Food for some pets are also ingredients for our recipes.
Magician Dealer	(main_office 63, 63)	Points for the elemental acid bottles and also gemstones.
Dye the Alchemist	(paramk 75, 102)	Materials for some recipes. Also Bottle Grenade (7135) , Acid Bottle (7136) and Glistening Coat (7139) .
Manbok	(paramk 87, 101)	Ingredients for cooking.
Phelix	(alberta 190, 173)	Exchanges 10x Jellopy (909) for 1x Red Potion (501) .

Located in the 2nd room of the Main Office, there is a room with four NPC that give a small permanent buff to HP, SP and one point to two stats, but you can only choose one.

Clan	Stats
Arc Wand Clan	INT and DEX
Crossbow Clan	DEX and AGI
Golden Mace Clan	LUK and INT

The Golden Mace Clan gives LUK, so click on the Archbishop NPC to get your hard earned buff.

Rune Tablets give passive bonuses at the cost of consuming some items for activating the tablet, the runes and upgrading the tablet. Luckily for us, there are two tablets that are quite cheap and really good for us. In fact, if you are leveling a character at 1x, you probably have this tablet activated and some of its runes.

They are basically the same tablet, one giving ATK and the others MATK. Most player will get this for the 3 pieces effect: EXP gained from monsters +3%, but what we want is the 6 pieces effect: All Stats +2, For each 5 upgrades: All Stats +1.

This means that having the tablet at +15 wll give us +5 to all stats, the same as an Almighty accessory at +5. The items to activate the tablet, activate the runes and upgrade the tablet are easy to get, namely the drops from these classic monsters:

Rocker (1052)

Vocal (1088)

Roda Frog (1012)

Ambernite (1094)

Hornet (1004)

Stainer (1174)

The hardest item to get is a Vocal Card (4211) , besides that is only a matter of spamming the upgrade button and hoping you do not fail too much to get the +15 as it asks for a Perfect Rune (1001283) for every try once you get it to +14.

The section you are probably here for. I will show a beginner, intermediate, and endgame build, but I'll also include a section with gears that will help you farm materials.

This build is a mix of easy to get items and final items that will get better once they have better/perfect enchants. We will also use the Merchant Card Set and the Genetic Shadow Gear Set, but do not bother enchanting them because we will use them after this point.

You can also keep reading and decide if you want to start from here or jump directly to the intermediate level.

This build is an overhaul of the beginner build, we will not be using the Merchant Card Set and the Genetic Shadow Gear Set anymore, but will keep some of the cards. We will also focus on getting double Rune of Luck Lv2 (29007) on our Illusion gears and no DEX or INT enchants on our Odin's Past gears. Oh right, we will be getting some Almighty Shadow accessories too.

This is it, our No items, Fox only, Final Destination, the best brewing build we could possibly get. This build is an overkill and you will be perfectly fine with the intermediate build. Having said that, let's see what we have here:

Item	Items dropped	Position	Monster type that you need to kill	Notes
Harvester Hat [1] (5902)	Thorn Plant Seed (6210)	Head top	All	Need to be at least +7 for Thorn Plant Seed (6210) to drop.
	Blood Sucker Plant Seed (6211)
	Bomb Mushroom Spore (6212)
Garuda Hat [1] (18508)	Mastela Fruit (522)			Get it to at least +11.

Disclaimer: I am only adding this section to dissuade you to not try this. This is going beyond being a meme build.

The Boots of Unknown Luck [1] (470077) are one of the six different Boots of Unknown from Airship_Crash and very much like the original Temporal Boots, they give a powerful buff to a single stat.

In the case of the Boots of Unknown Luck [1] (470077) , physical attacks have a random chance to increase LUK by 225 for 10 seconds when they are at least +11C, which is A LOT OF LUK, but a 10 seconds window to brew is so little time that makes it not viable.

OK but, what is the impact of those 225 LUK points? First, let's check the brewing succes ratio of a 275/60 “blank Biolo”, and with this I mean:

• Level 275/60
• The following skills at max level:

• Learning Potion (Potion Research)
• Pharmacy (Prepare Potion)
• Full Chemical Protection
• Special Pharmacy
• Mix Cooking
• Bionic Pharmacy
• No gears.
• No buffs.
• No homunculus. This means no Change Instruction.
• No pet.
• No Clan System.
• No Rune Tablet.
• 1 point of INT, DEX and LUK and 0 points of CRT, plus the job bonuses. This means:

• 1+13 INT
• 1+8 DEX
• 1+4 LUK
• 0+10 CRT

Now, let's supose we are trying to create the hardest item of each skills, which are:

• Pharmacy (Prepare Potion): White Slim Potion (547) or Glistening Coat (7139) .
• Special Pharmacy: Concentrated Golden Syrup Potion (1100005) .
• Mix Cooking: all six items have the same item rate.
• Bionic Pharmacy: items have no item rate.

Let's also assume we always get the worse rolls in every random of the four formulas. With all this, we get the following results:

• Pharmacy (Prepare Potion): 39,1% of creating the item.
• Special Pharmacy: -211,5 points after comparing Creation and Difficulty, meaning we will create 6 potions below the maximum allowed.
• Mix Cooking: -144,5 points after comparing Creation and Difficulty, meaning the cooking will fail.
• Bionic Pharmacy: 39 points after comparing Creation and Difficulty, meaning we will create 5 potions below the maximum allowed.

Finally, let's add the LUK +225 buff from the Boots of Unknown Luck [1] (470077) and check again the results of the four skills:

• Pharmacy (Prepare Potion): 61,6% of creating the item.
• Special Pharmacy: 13,5 points after comparing Creation and Difficulty, meaning we will create 6 potions below the maximum allowed.
• Mix Cooking: -32 points after comparing Creation and Difficulty, meaning the cooking will fail.
• Bionic Pharmacy: 264 points after comparing Creation and Difficulty, meaning we will create 5 potions below the maximum allowed.

Results comparison
Skill	Blank Biolo	Boots of Unknown Luck [1] (470077)	Result needed for max results
Pharmacy (Prepare Potion)	39,1%	61,6%	100%
Special Pharmacy	-211,5	13,5	400
Mix Cooking	-144,5	-32	30
Bionic Pharmacy	39	264	700

Sure, the results are way better, but again, a 10 second window to brew is way to little to make this viable, but if you REALLY wanna try this, at least do not say I did not try to warn you.

EDIT: OK, there is a way to make it work, but only with skills that have a “Craft all” option, so no Special Pharmacy.

Basically you put all your LUK points to STR so you can carry more mats and hit a Dummy in Office until you proc the buff, then you brew the item you want with “Craft All”.

Thanks to Innoox for opening my mind about this item's potential.

You will also need to gather materials, here are some of the best maps for farming some of them.
