Note: Rare functionality is still not completely understood and is an exciting aspect of the game. Most information listed is only an observation of one or more players rather than confirmed by developers.

Rare lye adds +1 to the QL of the leather produced.

Notes

  • The ratio to create is 1.00kg of water to 0.10kg of ash.
  • Even when using 45kg of water (a small barrel worth) and 0.10kg of lye, all water will be consumed and 1.00kg lye created.
  • Quality of the lye is capped by the quality of the ash used, and affected by your skill check in natural substances.
  • Failing to create lye uses 0.10kg of water and 0.10kg of ash.
  • If you try to drink it, you get the message "Eww.. the lye tastes funny and won't quench your thirst at all!"
