Understanding Reagents in Arcane Odyssey
Reagents are the lifeblood of Arcane Odyssey’s crafting systems. These magical ingredients serve two primary purposes:
- Potion Brewing: Reagents determine the type and strength of potions you can create
- Jewelcrafting: Specific reagents add powerful secondary effects to your gems
The quality and quantity of reagents directly impact your crafting results. Higher quality reagents produce stronger effects, making them essential for endgame content and competitive play.

Complete Jewelcrafting Reagents Guide
Jewelcrafting reagents add powerful secondary effects to your gems. It takes 5 reagents for every gem, with tier 2 reagents providing twice the secondary effect as their tier 1 counterparts.
