So, partner's pushing me to really go further with my alchemy and not to like, toot my own horn, but I feel like I'm getting good at it?

But it's mostly been in like, remedies and homeopathic stuff. Nothing wrong with that, but I really only got partner to depend on aside from the books and classes that go over what I can make. Basically, I wanna narrow it down a little. So, this is mostly for the other monsters out there!

Whether you're done changing or not, what's been your symptoms? Like, partner was usually in a lot of pain so I made a lot of painkillers and he had some anxiety because of the animal traits kicking in, so I also made charms to like... calm him down and stuff. But I'm sure there's different stuff I could be focusing on, so I'd really super appreciate if you guys could let me know what else I could try and master?

Also, fellow witches! Any ideas from experience? I've been learning more healing stuff from Elliot, so I know I got that down (I'm getting there, anyway).

Thanks a bunch!

[Look, it's even legible and not in text speak! Yu totally made him do it, thank him.]

try asking natives too. they'd have the best insight into long lasting issues.

[dj_jiraiya]

oh yeah thats a good idea! thx!

[sylphid]

you could also try narrowing down the types of monsters or relief you're aiming for. general is fine but specialized would make your work even more effective.

["man can you make a horny-b-gone because that would be great" - things Shinji will never bring himself to type out.]

nothing was too painful for me. kind of ached when my legs were starting to get weird, and when the horns were growing, but other than that its been alright.

like you said, especially around full moons we kinda all get antsy in weird ways, so the calming stuff would probably be good, especially for being who aint bonded yet. i know before i got one, i splintered a bookcase once by headbutting it.

[....it was his first full moon, he didn't even have much in the way of changes yet.]

i dunno what else you could do. fighting the instincts tends to be a pretty bad thing for us, so i mostly just let 'em happen. its fucking annoying to get startled easy by like turnskins and shit, but whatever.

[sylphid]

boo.

[She's so helpful.]

[hoboagogo]

hilarious

i mean more the prey-instinct thing. i don't really worry about you eating me.

[dj_jiraiya]

its just to help make things easier, rather than fight it, so no worries about that! partner seemed to have an easier time when i gave him an anxiety charm and some painkillers last time.

wasnt 100% but he wasnt running away from me either.

I don't know about it helping with pain, but maybe if there was something to make them less compelled to eat anything they find lying around that'd be a big help...

[dj_jiraiya]

dude if i figure it out youll be the first to know. partner still doesnt stop...

I suspect most Monsters would appreciate some sort of temporary appetite suppressant, and I've seen other Witches try to make lotions for Naga that are having shedding troubles.

[dj_jiraiya]

oh yeah appetites would be a big thing huh... hm, ill definitely see if i can find something!

shedding troubles? like they cant do it easily or its like... irritating?

A++ alchemy user, highly recommended.

[dj_jiraiya]

partner pls.

[whydogs]

My biggest symptom was death.

And craving blood, I guess.

[dj_jiraiya]

uh...

OH! ur a vampire? u have to die first?

[Yeah he's not... sure how to help with that. Yikes.]

[seemstressed]

Ah...if only Urianger was still here, he'd be much more helpful than I.

I'm afraid I haven't any good suggestions, but one thing to keep in mind is making your tonics palatable or masking the taste with food or drink.

_{[Like alcohol.]}

[dj_jiraiya]

its ok! any idea is good, tbh

making it taste good is definitely somethin to consider, yeah!

[Not alcohol???]

[galdorleod]

Another alchemist! Greetings.

I recommend investing in books on specific ingredients. You can get creative when you understand the inherent properties of the components themselves. Experimentation is the best way to learn, in my experience.

[dj_jiraiya]

hey there!

yeah i got some already for mostly the easier stuff. i guess its time to get more, i just kind of wanted an idea of what would be most useful to look for, you know? rather than going at it with broad strokes.

Itchy feathers.

[dj_jiraiya]

like when they come or just in general?

[finesseblade]

Ah. It's you again. Did your friend ever learn how to fly, by chance?

Where your question is concerned: the change in the senses can be overwhelming at times. Sound, sight, hearing... all might be intensified, depending on what sort of creature your bonded becomes. Spells or potions to help him adapt would not go amiss.

[dj_jiraiya]

uhhh yes and no? he can fly but he also found out he has wind powers which is what helped him fly. hes still learning to use only his wings.

hmmm, so something to dampen the senses a lil. might be better to do as a spell than a potion, tbh. but thats a good idea, thx!

[gale_arc]

fur itches. a lot.

[ It is, quite frankly, the worst. He's used to it now, but still. Geez. ]

other than that, yeah. usually it just hurts or its hard to sit still.

[dj_jiraiya]

itch def seems to be a common theme here so im def gonna look into that one 1st!
