Take 12 small potatoes, 60 g of agalite, aka food kaolin, or more simply, edible clay, 40 g of lactose, a little food black dye, half a glass of water, a teaspoon of salt, 12 sandwich skewers and something where these skewers can be stick. Best of all - a board with pre-made holes.
Step 2
Boil the potatoes in their skins in salted water and make sure that they do not fall apart. As soon as it is easy to pierce with a skewer, remaining dense, it's time to remove. Drain the water, put the potatoes on the board and let cool to 50 degrees.
Step 3
While the potatoes are cooling, combine the agalite, lactose and a pinch of salt, stirring until smooth. Add black dye to the water and pour it into the agalite dough, stirring everything to a paste. Leave in the refrigerator for 12 hours. (Take care of the foreman who makes repairs in the house: he will take it for building material and snitch.)
Step 4
Pierce a potato with a skewer, dip in the paste and set upright to dry. Do the same with everyone else. Put the potatoes in the oven on the lowest setting and keep it there until the coating dries.
Step 5
Put the stones on a dish and serve with cheese or mushroom sauce. Casually note that you, unfortunately, have a mortgage, but you were able to buy inexpensive and nutritious Murmansk basalt. Enjoy the facial expressions of the guests.
Any player, to the best of his ability, tries to strengthen his character, make him even more resilient and resilient, deadly for his enemies. One way to do this is to use alchemy stones. We will talk about what it is and how to get an alchemical stone in Black Desert Online in our article.
Types of alchemical stones
An alchemy stone is an item that is placed in a slot specially designated for it in the character's equipment section. By pressing the U key, you can use the stone and get a buff for 5/10 minutes. To the left of the stone in the character window, you can check the box to automatically use the stone on cooldown. Each stone has a durability that is consumed when using it (1 durability per use). It is possible to restore the strength of a stone by "feeding" it any oils and blood created through alchemy (etc.), as well as Alchemy Powder, obtained by grinding simple disposable stones (see below). Ordinary alchemy stones can be ground into Alchemy Shards, which are used to craft enchants and Vell's Heart (see below). The higher the quality of the stone, the more fragments you will receive.
There are 3 types of normal stones that give different effects (the effects are indicated at the highest quality level of the stone, see below):
Stone of life (production speed, chance of successful production, carrying capacity, collection / fishing level, chance of dropping trophies from collection);
Stone of destruction (attack power, accuracy, ignore resistances, attack speed, skill application speed);
Protection Stone (damage reduction, evasion, max HP, all resistances).
The above stones can be used as much as you like and replenish strength, but there are one-time analogue stones that fall from monsters in Kamasylvia. They cannot be improved or restored, only sold / thrown away or ground into Alchemy Powder (which can restore ordinary stones). Common stones come in green and blue quality.

To create it, you need to use simple alchemy to combine Vell's concentrated magical energy and 1500 Alchemical Shards. Vell's Concentrated Magical Energy and Ashes of Vell fall from the world sea boss Vell, which is located in the middle of the ocean (there is a picture on the map where it is located, up from Lem's Island). The battle with him is carried out on ships. The boss appears every Sunday at 15:00. All of these items can be sold at auction.
Let's return to the usual alchemical stones.
Regular alchemy stones have several levels of improvement. As the level of the stone increases, the positive effects from it increase.
There are 8 levels in total: Imperfect, Rough, Crafted, Strong, Sharp, Brilliant, Magnificent and Shining stone.
Levels are increased by polishing the stone and then trying to improve, read more about this below. Starting from the "Strong" level, the alchemy stone increases its maximum durability from 100 to 150.
But in addition to levels, each stone has a grade, a quality, like, for example, armor or weapons (white, green, blue and yellow quality). The quality of the stone affects the number of positive effects from the stone. Those. yellow quality stone has the most types of buffs, even if it is only level 1. The quality of the stone can increase when you try to increase the level of the stone, and the stone can also turn out to be of higher quality initially when it is created on the alchemy table.
Those. there is an initial Imperfect Stone of Protection, Imperfect Stone of Protection, Imperfect Stone of Protection And Imperfect Stone of Protection no matter how strange it may look.
How to create an alchemy stone in Black Desert
What is the recipe for creating such an alchemical stone? Everything is simple and complex at the same time. First you need to upgrade your Alchemy skill to Professional. Recipes with which you can raise the skill of alchemy can be viewed at.
Having reached the required skill level, you can try to make alchemy stones according to this recipe (using the alchemy table):
Alchemy. stone = x10 + x10 + x10 + x10 + x10
If successful, you will receive one of three types of stones (destruction, protection and life), in case of failure - a useless item worth 5000 silver. The exact chance of success is unknown, it may also depend on the Alchemy skill.
Most of the reagents needed to create an alchemy stone in Black Desert are made at the alchemy table. The only exceptions are and . Dust of Ages can be obtained as an additional resource from some nodes, but Radiant Powder is much more difficult to obtain. This is the most difficult ingredient in the recipe. It can be randomly obtained by successfully cooking something using alchemy. One can only guess about the chances of his proc, perhaps he is also affected by the Alchemy skill.
How to charge an alchemy stone in Black Desert
To replenish the strength of an alchemy stone, it must be charged with any oils and blood that can be made using alchemy. All of the following items are suitable for charging the stone:
Alchemy Powder
The alchemy stone must be in your inventory (not equipped), click the Stone button under the inventory slots. You will open the menu of interaction with the stone, the Charging tab will be selected. Choose a stone and an item to charge in your bag. If the stone is not placed, then its charge is full. In the center is the number of items needed to fully charge the stone. You can specify exactly how many items to use. By pressing the Charge button at the bottom of the window, the stone will “eat” the reagents and restore strength.
How to improve the alchemy stone in Black Desert
To improve an Alchemy Stone and move it to the next level (from Imperfect Stone to Rough Stone, etc.), you first need to increase its Experience level to 80% and above. The level of experience can be seen in the description of the stone.
The way to increase the experience of an alchemy stone is similar to charging it. You need to open the menu of alchemical stones and select the Grinding tab, then select a stone and material for gaining experience. Each type of stone requires different materials for polishing. The stone of protection eats only plywood and strong boards, destruction - ingots and pure ingots of metals, lives - products from the garden of green and blue quality.
Experience can be gained and more than 100%, all the "extra" experience will remain after the improvement of the stone. However, everything is not so simple here either - improvement is also not guaranteed to happen the first time. If it fails, the stone loses some of the experience and must be recruited again. To try to improve the stone, select the Enhancement tab in the alchemy menu. stone. Select prepared stone and Black stone (weapon). The black stone also disappears on failure. Starting from the Strong level, if the attempt fails, the stone can with some chance be reset back to Processed. Crafted stone cannot be dropped lower in level. On a success, there is a chance that the stone will increase in quality; it cannot be dropped back in quality. Starting from the Shiny level, if you fail, there is a chance that the stone will completely break and disappear.
After each successful upgrade of an alchemy stone in Black Desert, it gains more and more experience while grinding. The higher the stage of the stone being improved, the higher the required Alchemy skill to improve it. For example, to improve the simplest Imperfect Stone, it is enough to have Apprentice 1 in Alchemy, and to improve a Worked Stone, you need to be Professional 1. These requirements are also indicated in the description of the stone.
On the right you can see the options for stones that you can get if you succeed.
Can you eat stones? Of course, there are stones suitable for food - these are table or rock salt, saltpeter, magnesium and Glauber's salts and others.
We either take a lot of salts with food or most often use them in the form of various kinds of medicines, without even thinking about their origin. However, the number of edible stones is not limited to this, and many amazing cases can be cited when people ate stones or when various minerals were mixed with food for profit.
Counterfeiting food products with minerals is a fairly common phenomenon. Even in the Middle Ages, minerals were mixed with flour or bread to increase weight. Various white minerals, loose earthy structure or ground into powder were added to the flour: barite, chalk, gypsum, magnesite, clay, sand, etc.
Barite, a heavy spar, is very easily ground into flour, it is cheap and heavy, and therefore it was often mixed with various goods sold by weight, especially wheat flour. At one time in Germany, for example, the falsification of flour reached such proportions that, in order to fight, they even banned the extraction of barite.
Transparent barite crystals used in optical instruments. They are used for protection against x-rays, for coatings and insulation in chemical industries (due to chemical resistance, in particular with respect to sulfuric acid). Serves as a raw material for the production of barium salts, barium white, enamel, glaze; filler in the manufacture of rubber, oilcloth, linoleum, paper.
Widely used as a substance that increases the density of drilling fluids.
In pursuit of profit, merchants often mixed chalk, lime, magnesia into milk and sour cream; alum, salt, clay, chalk, gypsum were added to cow butter. The same substances were put into the cheese - gypsum, chalk and barite; cocoa and chocolate sometimes contained impurities of iron ocher, barite, and sand. Clay, chalk, gypsum, sand, talc, barite were mixed into honey. Gypsum, barite, talc, clay were added to confectionery; into sugar - gypsum, chalk, barite.
Yet mineral impurities, even if they are harmless to human health, are bad because they are not nutritious.
History has preserved the memory of cases of earth-eating in former times in various countries.
Surprisingly, it turns out that in many places on the globe there are lovers of eating rocks, and some rocks are even a kind of delicacy for them.
For example, in equatorial America, in Colombia, Guiana and Venezuela, there are entire tribes of amateur geophages who eat the earth, although they do not suffer from a lack of other nutrients.
Negroes from Senegal in their homeland eat greenish clay because of its pleasant taste. Negroes who moved to America are trying to find similar breeds here.
The Papuans from the Humboldt Bay region eat certain rocks.
Earth-eating turned out to be a common occurrence in Iran, where even during normal harvest times in the bazaars, along with all kinds of foodstuffs, edible rocks are also sold: clay from Magallat and clay from Giveh. Clay from Magallat is a white, greasy to the touch mass that sticks to the tongue, which the inhabitants especially willingly eat.
An example of this use of rocks we find in ancient times in Italy, where the preparation of a dish called alik was very common - it consists of a mixture of wheat and tender marl, mined in the Neapolitan region and giving a white color and softness to this dish.
Kaolin- fine white clay used in the manufacture of porcelain.
In Siberia, in the region of Okhotsk, the peoples living here used to have a special dish, to which clay was added. According to the description of the famous traveler of the late 18th century, Laxman, this dish was prepared from a mixture of kaolin and reindeer milk. It was considered a special delicacy, and they were treated to noble travelers.
We see from these examples that stones are very often edible; but how nutritious they are is another question; but there is no doubt that many of them, in their plasticity and softness, are very pleasant and improve the taste of certain food substances; while others serve as useful medicine.

In the world of Black Desert online (BDO), as in principle in any other project, buffs are an important element, that is, temporary positive effects that can be applied to your character to enhance or facilitate activities. One of the popular character buff items is an alchemy stone, this article will be devoted to this.
In total, there are currently 3 types of alchemical stones in the game:
- stone of life;
- stone of destruction;
- protection stone.
By one name, you can guess that the destruction of the attack, life - handicraft, but with protection, everything is clear.
In addition, alchemy stones have a different color, the number of effects of the stone depends on the color.
Types of alchemical stones
Alchemy stones are divided into two types:
- simple stones - they fall from monsters or can be obtained by completing a task;
- crafting stones - you can craft, that is, create yourself.
Simple Alchemy Stones
But let's first look at simple alchemy stones that drop from monsters.
Simple alchemy stones differ from crafted ones in that:
- fall during the killing of mobs;
- have only 2 colors: green and blue;
- cannot be improved;
- cannot be charged;
- have a strength of 50 units;
- disposable.
Green has the following effects: attack +6, hit +8
Blue has the following effects: Attack +6, Accuracy +8, Attack Speed +4%, Skill Speed +4%
Protective Stone
Green has the following effects: damage reduction +6, evasion +8
Blue has the following effects: damage reduction +6, evasion +8, max. HP +10
Green has the following effects: production speed -1.1 sec, crafting success rate +11%, gathering/fishing level +2
Blue has the following effects: production speed -1.1 sec, crafting success rate +11%, gathering/fishing level +2, picking item drop rate +10%
Craft Alchemy Stones
Now let's move on to crafting alchemy stones. Craft alchemy stones, as well as simple ones, have 3 directions: attack, defense, craft.
In addition, they have their own color scheme of growth stages, and the number of effects that it can give depends on the color of the stone:
- white - has 1 effect;
- green - has 2 effects;
- blue - has 3 effects;
- yellow - has 5 effects;
- orange - has 5 effects (Vell's Heart).
In addition, alchemical stones differ in their shape, the shape of the stone determines the digital indicator of the effect, as well as its strength:
- imperfect;
- rude;
- processed;
- strong;
- spicy;
- brilliant;
- fabulous;
- shining.
That is, the more perfect its shape, the higher the effect indicator and the greater the strength.
Alchemy stone and alchemy levels
Separately, it should be said that the chance to get a certain level of alchemy stone completely depends on what level of alchemy you have pumped. Naturally, the higher the level of the craft, the higher the chance.
- imperfect - student 1;
- rough - student 1;
- processed - professional 1;
- strong - expert 1;
- sharp - master 1;
- brilliant - grandmaster 1;
- magnificent - specialist 1;
- shining - (the level is unknown, but I think an expert +, although to be honest I have never seen this stone).
How to craft (create, make) an alchemical stone
In order to craft an alchemy stone, you will need to upgrade the level of Alchemy to the Apprentice level and use the alchemy table in your house to create a stone according to the following recipe:
10 liquid reagent + 10 powder reagent + 10 sinner's blood + 10 dust of centuries + 10 shining powder
Dust of Ages is mined by workers at the following nodes: Glish Swamp, Ancient Rift, Abandoned Mine, Lava Cave, Quint Hill, Lonely Forest.
With your hands, you can get Dust of Ages by mining stone (drops randomly).
Radiant Powder is a by-product that drops randomly while crafting various alchemy potions.
When creating an alchemical stone, you can get any of the three types of stone (life, destruction, protection), any color and shape (in very rare cases) naturally randomly.
Often, instead of stone, you can craft junk, in the form of a piece of stone that can be sold to any shop for 5,000 silver.
Naturally, the higher the level of alchemy, the higher the chance to get something worthwhile.
But if you don't want to bother, you can just buy it at the auction.

At the Hong Kong Panoramic Restaurant, guests are surprised with an unusual kakigori dessert - mango-flavored ice cream, as airy as snow. A special machine crushes the ice cream, and the delicacy falls on the dish with light shavings. Special attention is paid to the "dressing": it mixes mango puree, lemon juice and sugar syrup. Kakigori tastes like cold air saturated with the aroma of exotic fruits. Ordinary ice cream after this will seem dense and heavy.

Disguising sweets as sea pebbles is not new for gastronomic restaurants. In the wake of the Nordic passion for stones, they began to make more mousses and desserts with a liquid center, which effectively pour on a plate after their hard but fragile shell is broken with a spoon.
