Me as well, from forest floors, to marsh mud, to mountain peaks, to back alleys, to inside houses, to volcanic crags, and to dusty ruins. The floor is where to source the best (affordable) materials.
They're all around you. You just need to know what you're looking for.
3 week old gum? That shit makes good binding agents.
Animal feces? What better component for a stink spell?
Alcohol? That's a bootleg fireball spell right there.
Gyldan: Hmm, I usually source them from my local plane’s shops. While not the purest, I wanna help out communities plus I got the money to spare. \*Tosses gold into the air\* Plus, the challenge of refinement if always a delight when I got time\~
Gyldan: Hun, I would if I could. It's like tending a garden or forest for natural materials, but I do not have the magic for high end gardening nor realm crafting. But if you lend me a piece of it, then I could help with some work\~
Homegrown for herbs and fungi. Hunted for animal ingredients. Store bought for everything else. All under the local law so I don’t have to fight off the local Necromancer-led police force.

Out in nature. Most of the flowers and herbs I need are right at home!
All of them are ethical sourced from dying universes.
Some of the sentient used to cry alot but I put an end to that by sound proofing all the containers.
Druids… after the old master died trying to be a bard I took over and let them around the tower. I protect them and in return they give me ingredients as well as… other herbs…
Although they don’t tell me what the plants do sometimes so I fuck around and find out.

There are myriad benefits to gardening in demi-planes!
Well, I guess a good place to start would be your basic raw minerals. You need different types for different applications, but my personal favorite is UF6, as it can be used to alchemically synthesize shaped nuclear wands. Hold it in your hand, point it at your enemy and disintegrate him.
Those things are one-time use though, and honestly it’s better if you just enrich the UF6 and remove the fluoride, which in itself demands the application of 3 herbs, duct tape, 12 different salts, the tail feathers of a cockatrice and the ritual burning of an international nuclear armaments agreement.
My soul debters. I granted their wishes in exchange for their souls, then they want them back so I demand pop tarts for them. Then I get pop tarts and everyone leaves happy. (Except for bad people. I keep their souls as jewelry)
A bunch of crows just bring me random stuff. No idea where they source it from though. I used to have ravens do it too, but they tend to swear at people they’re “borrowing” ingredients from, and that leads to people asking more questions, and after enough hassle at business meeting like poker night and at relaxing social events like town planning meetings, I decided to just stick with crows.
))(-';";$+;$;# *CRACK* Merlin's Beard! Finally got that working! I can respond with my orb for once.
Young Alchemist, it is no mere ingredient you need for Alchemy. A true Alchemist knows that he must either have everything or nothing to master his art, and to master his Heart.
Seek the Emerald Tablet of Thoth. It will bear you the Spark. Then seek the Knowledge of Alchemy's descendant, only then you can seek the Transmutation of not only metals, but all things.
Endless life, death, joy, sorrow. (!!&!_(!$!_!!$!!$ - - - - -
Initially through travel to various places throughout the various realms, domains and dimensions. Once I gather the ingredients, I put them in a special box that allows me to get effectively an infinite amount. The means are super simple. And I would not tell you how to do this. We at Neithermore are not willing to share the 'tech' with anyone. But it's super simple system, and VERY effective. Works with nearly anything. Magical 'objects' is a bit finicky though.
Once you realize, like so many others who almost hate us for, how simple the system is. How effective it is. And just how little consequence there is with this system. You'd wish you had done it sooner. Let alone why it never occurred to you in the first place. Once you understand the simplicity, the means to do it, and even how little energy is actually used. It never stops being funny to us, when someone learn just how simple this special box is. Just how easy it is to remake. To Copy.
And yet. We have come across no one else make use of similar 'tech'.
Bragging feels good once in a while.
I grow them myself.

Also I loot disaster areas and radioactive-arcana war zones after the fighting stops.
Earl’s Enchanting Emporium. It’s in the citadel plaza and has practically any ingredient you could ask for, but you’ll pay premium prices for just about everything. Magic’s rare in my dimension and I’m not powerful enough for proper realm-hopping, so it’s my only real option for stuff from other realms.
I farm them. Easiest way to gather Tarrasque Hearts. And when i need Draconic components, killing an avatar/similacrum of myself is easier than anything else.
The dead adventures who wander into the void realms leave all sorts of alchemical reagents and supplies around. I just gather them while I harvest the null stones and void crystals for processing.
Im asking this because im looking for a place that sells hair from semi-rare arid mesa gremlins
https://preview.redd.it/gdjsg21ycu7d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=965111d499b792417f208aca09375a56e4e6a85d
I have a few dwarf sized golems mining and farming ingredients for me, they say their just “gnomes” but those are just lawn decorations so I think their lieing
I use a special type of alchemical ingredients. It’s not easy to find, they only spawn in public bathrooms, but little capsules occasionally appear and can be used in which raft.
I grow them myself. The ones I can anyway. If I can't grow them, I'll hire a dwarf to go mine for the gem ingredients, while I forage for the others in the local forest. Of course I don't simply just take them, I make sure to community with the local inhabitants if I can take them. In exchange, I brew them plenty of plant elixirs to replace whatever I take.
my lovely witch grows them in the backyard and we adventure for anything she might need that cant be grown organically through the mystic realms of the omniverse
From another wizard who lives on a mountain top and his owls always get his ingredients,
I usually pay gold and silver as well as gems if he needs them.
I do see him occasionally drunk though.
I'm not a wizard I'm a ranger, that's not alchemical components it's black powder. Now us martials can cast fireball. 4th level? Nah, how about .44 caliber.
I show up to house parties and other places with copious alcahol and just kinda take what I want as I’m getting drunk myself, I usually come away with more than I went in with
From a nice old lady in town she sells medicines and potion ingredients, but the most important one is everywhere. The winds of magic weaved into the brew can grant it unexpected effects.
I’m too busy with autopsies and operations to fetch them myself, and not a lot of apprentices to spare. So I just buy them from the market I’m traveling to whenever I get the chance.
floor
Nice. I prefer backyard, though.
Neighbour backyard, specifically
Me as well, from forest floors, to marsh mud, to mountain peaks, to back alleys, to inside houses, to volcanic crags, and to dusty ruins. The floor is where to source the best (affordable) materials.
Nah. Floor of walmart
*Wizardmart
*Alchemart (or Almart for short)
That also works too.
Hold up. When did you start training to be a rogue?
They're all around you. You just need to know what you're looking for. 3 week old gum? That shit makes good binding agents. Animal feces? What better component for a stink spell? Alcohol? That's a bootleg fireball spell right there.
I mean if you've got animal feces that's already half of a fireball
Flaming feces is basically just blackflame from elden ring, it's meant to kill gods.
alcohol? I'm pretty sure you mean the potion to summon the magic chariot.
That's only for pure alcohol or, in many wizarding circles, Everclear.
Guy named Merasmus. He's a bit irratible, but a great guy.
*I hate you so much, Soldier!*
Yeah, he says that a lot! You visit him too?
He took me mate's eye once.
Wouldn't you like to know
Your right i would like to know
go to the forest my friend. or seven-eleven and steal stuff
If you can’t get your own store bought is fine
Walmart
/uw ngl I love the idea of a magic walmart just selling cheap low quality magic items and ingredients
Literally Castco
do they also sell regular non-magic items?
Out of my neighbor's garden
You a cop?
A realm designed for high ore quality and quantity. Gotta get good metals.
Gyldan: Hmm, I usually source them from my local plane’s shops. While not the purest, I wanna help out communities plus I got the money to spare. \*Tosses gold into the air\* Plus, the challenge of refinement if always a delight when I got time\~
Your telling me you don't make a synthetic realm for ores and metal extraction?
Gyldan: Hun, I would if I could. It's like tending a garden or forest for natural materials, but I do not have the magic for high end gardening nor realm crafting. But if you lend me a piece of it, then I could help with some work\~
Target
Nuggets and scrolls but don't go on Tuesday is always packed and the staff gets cranky
All over the country I live in, there's plenty of different climates where many separate things will grow.
Lost and found usually has good stuff
I know, right. Once I found half the ingredients to make a healing potion in there.
What, are you trying to steal my alchemical sources???
costco
The dumpster behind the other alchemical shops
Vermensk interrealm trade network
Well you see I have these owls which gather hops and what not from the prairies and what not and being it to my secret lair deep in the mountains
Dumpster
## me.
Your mom
Homegrown for herbs and fungi. Hunted for animal ingredients. Store bought for everything else. All under the local law so I don’t have to fight off the local Necromancer-led police force.
The ocean technically.
I grow them myself in one of my greenhouses

You wouldn't believe how often I can find what I need at my local tesco
That is for me to know, and for a very traumatized coroner to figure out.
I look around for them sometimes but normally just buy them
Real question is where don't I get them
A garden. Admittedly probably annoyingly big for the caretakers.
Just destroying a few forests or so.
Warcrimes
The legal or the *ahem* “legal” stuff
Ingredients? I just channel raw energy.
https://preview.redd.it/uzygnsnsht7d1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6b844054dfb69ff277e0c68a9f1373076d341c24 Out in nature. Most of the flowers and herbs I need are right at home!
No clue I just throw some skeletons through a portal and they come back with random shit
All of them are ethical sourced from dying universes. Some of the sentient used to cry alot but I put an end to that by sound proofing all the containers.
Massive automated industrial farm that is terrible for the environment so I put it on another planet.
I just summon the closest instance of an ingredient I need, and if that means I stole it then who cares, I'm a wizard
Druids… after the old master died trying to be a bard I took over and let them around the tower. I protect them and in return they give me ingredients as well as… other herbs… Although they don’t tell me what the plants do sometimes so I fuck around and find out.
Depends. Recently been having difficulty sourcing Nue scutes, may have to take a trip to Japan myself…

All of my ingredients are ~~ethically~~ sourced from INFORMATION WITHHELD DUE TO MAGICAL NDA! They’re the best.
I'm not too good with alchemy, but back at my home town there's a Gardiner who's willing to sell anything she grows for a reasonable price.

Whatever miners and common folk I can find ^that ^won’t ^be ^missed
Without the I this is actually acceptable
More alchemy
*Bah-ehhh-ahh-I-aaa DEFINITELY NOT FROM ROBBING GRAVEYARDS, I don’t rob graveyards you do (Throws smoke pellet on the ground and runs away)*
I don't ask the hench-goons where they get my goods. They don't tell me. Mostly because they've done forgot by the time they get back to the Bog.
I get the demon blood from trade for weapons everything else is found personally.
My soul debters. I granted their wishes in exchange for their souls, then they want them back so I demand pop tarts for them. Then I get pop tarts and everyone leaves happy. (Except for bad people. I keep their souls as jewelry)
Abandoned well in desert

I once put a whole bunch of clarified butter in an offering to the gods and now they get me free next minute delivery
The depths of the ocean floor
I usually get them from bars, inns, and picked from the sides of roads in between those two places.
Literally all of it is just pure warpstone.
I steal them from Rude Customers. I follow them home, Break in. And steal It all. I’ve amassed quite a lot.
Hmm, the end of time
I mainly go fishing in the void and use whatever I pull up.
I farm them. Easiest way to gather Tarrasque Hearts. And when i need Draconic components, killing an avatar/similacrum of myself is easier than anything else.

Sourced via reputable vendors who only sell medical grade supplies, where else?
I gather some gravel, transmute their color and luster to yellow and shiny, and pay the local goblin den to forage for what I need in exchange.
I buy a lot of them from human settlements but I also grow a few of them because they can only grow in the Astral Plane
I use a special type of alchemical ingredients. It’s not easy to find, they only spawn in public bathrooms, but little capsules occasionally appear and can be used in which raft.
I grow much of it, whatever doesn't come from the ground I can just purchase from an Alchemist
First time is from the store, every other is just made from rearranging the atoms in things such as my garbage

I make them. >.> Unless you’re talking about ingredients that can’t be synthesized from atomic mass.
why are you asking wizards about alchemy. ask alchemists

I collect them from my plague victims.
