Section 1: Astonia III.

Astonia III Is a MMORPG, also known as a Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing
Game.  Astonia III is pay-to-play.  When you sign up you receive a free, one-month
trial period.  After the first month, you must pay  (U.S.) to continue playing on
that account.  Astonia's leveling system is based on kill experience that is received
by killing different NPC's (Non Playable Characters) throughout the game.  As you
gain experience, you are able to spend it on different skills and spells, dependant on
what class and race you are (Seyan, Warrior, and Mage).  When you start the game, it
will not be easy.  The faster you start developing relationships with other players,
the more likely you are to succeed.  The game itself does not require you to be social,
and it is possible to do well in it without being social; you will have a lot more
fun, and go farther in the game if you have good friends.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section II: What is Alchemy.

What is alchemy you may ask?  Alchemy in Astonia is the mixing of flowers, berries,
and mushrooms to create a stat pot.

Section III: What do Potions do, and how you create them.

Potions add a certain amount of + to your stat modifiers, depending on the strength of
the pot you make.  Flowers determine what type of stat the potion modifies.  The
berry determines the duration of potion.  The Mushroom(s) determine the strength of
the potion. An Earthstone adds +0 to a potion, a Firestone adds +1 to a potion, a
Icestone adds +2 to a potion, and a Hellstone adds +3 to a potion.

To make a potion, take a Big (doesn't have to be big, but some potions can only fit
into a big pot) Pot, that is empty, and begin putting your ingredients in.  Once you
have put in the ingredients, you have two choices.  1) You can shake the pot yourself
(left-clicking on it).  I would advise against this however unless your are a master
alchemist or 2) ask a master alchemist to shake it for you, which will greatly
increase the strength of your potion.
