A proper alchemist would be able to turn gold into other items or maybe just energy

A man can dream...

It's the other way around, alchemist (wanted to) turn things into gold

Sure, but doesn't that imply the other direction is possible, too?

In real chemistry? It doesn't. In those fairytales they called alchemy? I think they didn't even think about it, who would anyone convert gold to anything else in medieval Europe?

I don't care about your reality. 😂

Besides, I bet alchemists and medieval Europe would loved to have turned gold into a Potion of Healing.

My reality? Well, and everyone else's. It's called history, you want to call it mine? Ok, but it's the same for everyone, whether you like it or not. They sure would have loved Healing Potions if only they could even exist, they probably didn't think those existed or, worse even, though they existed but was some plants in hot water; they'd rather have gold if they could just cook their version of "Potions of Healing"

I've only briefly dabbled with the game, but I kinda like your idea 👍

@CrayonRosary
Turning gold into sth else is what the shop is for. 😁

CrayonRosary@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y

Yeah, I realized that as soon as I made my post. It's probably my a dumb idea and it'd be difficult to balance.
