I don't know what the bonus of gem to gold is canyou tell me. Lastly if I have a alchemist pretender I don't pay any upkeep do I?

Can't you right-click on the alchemy icon to find out the bonus? Otherwise I don't know myself but I suspect it's a 50% bonus.

Sorry, what was the bit about upkeep? You don't pay upkeep for the pretender himself, you don't pay upkeep for any pretenders.

Wait a minute. I just checked, and I don't see any alchemy icon on the Master Alchemist pretender, nor on the MA Tien Chi alchemists. Do you really have such an icon? If so, there may be something missing from the Mac build for 3.10...

I assumed there was but maybe not.

No Icon thats why I was confused...

I will just play and see what the bonus is i guess...

the bonus is +100% gold from earth and fire gems for anyone who makes it to this thread. Not bad at all...

The DB says +100% for the Master Alchemist and +50% for the Alchemist.

The confusion here is because there is a recruitable alchemist mage, in addition to the Master Alchemist pretender.

Also, it would be unfair to say that a recruited alchemist needs to do alchemy every turn or he isn't worth it. He's a mage, after all, and he also brings in value via research.
