Final Fantasy X-2/Alchemist

From StrategyWiki, the video game walkthrough and strategy guide wiki

The Alchemist has the ability to "Mix". Similar to Rikku's Overdrive Mode in Final Fantasy X. If you are not familiar with the ability, two items are combined to create a greater effect. Alchemists can also learn abilities that allow you to use an item that you do not actually have in your inventory. These are referred to as stashed items in this guide. This dressphere can be effective for either attacking or healing.

Mixes[edit]

The mix command allows you to combine two items from your inventory to create greater effects. In this game, the first item is the most important part of the combination, and in most cases there is no benefit to using a expensive item in the second slot. That means most of the time you will want to pick out the first item based on your desired result, and your second item should be a cheaper item like a Potion. For example, mixing a Lightning Marble with a Potion will create the Rolling Thunder attack, and mixing two Lightning Marbles will still get the same Rolling Thunder attack, essentially wasting one of your Lightning Marbles.

There are a few exceptions to this rule

  • The Soul Sea : Mix a combination of Stamina Tablet, Stamina Tonic + Mana Table, Mana Tonic. You can use either tablets or tonics, but you have to have one Stamina item and one Mana item.
  • Fantasy Phoenix : Instead of the standard basic items, you must use a revive item in its second slot (Phoenix Down, Mega Phoenix
  • Mixes which do damage AND apply a negative status effect are the most complex, and require one elemental item plus one status item.

For all other mixes, choose one item from the Items Required column of the table as the first item, and choose a basic item (Potion, Antidote, Eye Drops, Echo Screen, or Soft) for the second slot
