Chemist (job)



The Chemist, also known as an Alchemist or Salve-Maker, is a job that appears in various games in the series. Chemists are often characterized as wearing yellow robes.

Their main weapons are daggers, guns, and rods. They are best known for their abilities involving various items. Usually, this involves having an exclusive access to special items, doubling the potency of recovery items, and most importantly, their unique ability Mix allows them to combine two items into one. They also can heal party members for free.

The Transmuter sprite can still be seen in auction houses and the Luck-Stick seller also resembles a nu mou with this job.
