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 1.00 kg of water to 0.10 kg of ash.
  • Even when using 45 kg of water (a small barrel worth) and 0.10 kg of lye, all water will be consumed and 1.00 kg lye created.
  • Quality of the lye is capped by the quality of the ash used, and affected by your skill check success in natural substances.
  • Failing to create lye uses 0.10 kg of water and 0.10 kg 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!"
