Should you sell pills or consume them?
Hover over furnaces to feed fire. Sell pills for spirit stones or consume them for cultivation experience. Expand the hall, upgrade furnaces and use heat zones to improve production.
What affects breakthroughs, and what do dolls do?
Pill tier and quality affect breakthrough chances. Collection, delivery, repair and guardian dolls handle separate jobs. Exact probabilities and optimal allocations are not established here.
When do Secret Realm trials open?
The developer's v1.0.0 log places entry to the Scripture Trial Grounds after Foundation Establishment. Clear a floor, choose a stat buff and use the opened shop before descending again. This named-version outline does not supply a complete first-run route.
How does combat differ from tending the hall?
Use a six-slot artifact loadout; move and dodge while weapons attack automatically. The store describes teleport retreat when badly wounded, without an escape guarantee or default key here.
What changed in the v1.1.0 update?
The official v1.1.0 notes of 19 October 2026 list timed treasure floors inside Secret Realms, a rebalance of equipment, artifacts and enchantments, the addition of re-enchanting with improved stat tooltips, and individual shield durability. The earlier v1.0.0 dev log from 14 September 2026 described the rebuild around Secret Realm battles. Steam lists the game with Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud and Steam Leaderboards, and no demo or Early Access marker.
What does Alchemy Tales cost, and which platforms does it run on?
Steam lists the game at US $4.99 with a 40% discount showing US $2.99 at the time of the read, with no published end date for that discount. The platform flags mark Windows only, and the Mac and Linux requirement tables are empty. The store lists English and Simplified Chinese as full-audio languages.
