It's recommended to use 0.10kg of ash on at least 1.00kg of water.

−
When using 0.10kg pieces of ash the amount of water can be 1.00kg to 1.90kg to create 1.10kg to 2.00kg of lye. Using 2.00kg water or more will result in 1.00kg of lye only.
 
  
−
When using combined pieces of ash of more than 0.10kg the water to ash ratio should be 10:1. This means 1.00kg of water for every 0.10kg of ash to create 1.00kg of lye for each kg of water. Using less water will result in 1.00kg of lye only. Using more water will make the lye useless because the excess water will prevent the lye from fitting into the container.

Keep the lye in a [[pottery jar]] or [[waterskin]] and fill the first flask from there as needed. This way precious high ql lye will last very long.

Description

Made from ash and water, this is used when preparing leather.

A mixture made through alchemy for making leather out of animal hide, and for creating corrosive traps and concrete.

Notes

  • When creating lye, all water in the container you're using will be replaced with lye, and ash will be consumed at a ratio of 0.10 kg for every full litre (1.00 kg) of water.
  • Even when using 45 kg of water (a small barrel worth) and 0.10 kg of ash, all water will be consumed and 1.00 kg lye created.
  • If you use 0.20 kg of ash with 2 kg of water, you can create 2.00 kg of lye. Note that excess water will still be wasted.
  • 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.
  • Lye is not edible. If you try to drink it, you get the message "Eww.. the lye tastes funny and won't quench your thirst at all!"
  • Rare lye adds +1 to the QL of leather produced. Additional applications of rare lye need further research.
