There are many paths a Merchant can take. As an alchemist, many players wonder what is the best build they can go for in Ragnarok Origin. Truth is, this class can do many things well.
The Alchemist is a class in Ragnarok Origin that optimizes Potion Creation and Homunculus, as well as various other potion-related skills.
The Best Alchemist Build in Ragnarok Origin
If you want to be able to support and deal good damage, we’re going with the Cart Alchemist build. The aim of this build is to make the most out of the Cart Revolution Merchant skill, which is one of the most effective paths you can take in this class. The Cart Revolution skill enables you to inflict damage over a wide area. Besides, a good Attack Speed helps you spam it, especially when pushing monsters against walls.
Stats:
- STR: 70-90
- AGI: 30-50
- VIT: 70-90
- INT: 1+
- DEX: 50
- LUK: 20-40
These are some of the best skills for Alchemist, but Mammonite is the most important one since we’re focusing on Cart Revoltution:
| Skill | Description | Levels | Type |

| Acid Terror | Throws an Acid bottle at a foe to deal 200~1,000% physical damage. May break their armor and/or cause Bleeding status by a chance. | 5 | Offensive |

Common Weapons
Swords are some of the most common weapons among Alchemists primarily due to their relatively fast attack speed and moderate attack power. However, the player will not be able to take advantage of having a Blacksmith partner. Also, due to the Axe Mastery skill, it is clear that one can maximize damage output with an Axe. However, Axes have a slower attack speed; they swing slowly but deliver powerful hits. On the positive side, players using Axes can not only benefit from Axe Mastery but also a Blacksmith partner.

| Saber [3] | A popular weapon often used with damage-enhancing cards. | ATK 115 |
| Excalibur | An excellent weapon for potion creation. | ATK 150, INT +5, DEX -1, LUK +10, Holy property |

Which Homunculus Should You Choose?
Amistr is usually the top choice for a Homunculus S. Its Amistr Bulwark skill is great for getting MVP status later. It increases vitality and adds some defense, which is good for player fights. The Castling skill is handy for quick moves and getting out of tough spots. Amistr’s high base HP can help Homunculus S get over 200 thousand HP because of scaling.
