Description
A mixture made through alchemy, used for making leather out of animal hide.
Method
- Put water in container.
- Activate ash.
- Right click on water in container, create->misc->lye
Tools required
- Container for water.
Items required
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.
Usage
Used to turn hide into leather and creating corrosive traps.
Tips
- Quality of the lye is capped by the quality of the ash used and affected by your skill in Natural substances.
- The entire quantity of lye is used when making leather regardless of weight.
- A pottery flask with 1 potato and 4 corn in it will hold additional ~0,005kg lye. Keep the lye in a pottery jar or waterskin and fill the flask from there as needed. This way precious high ql lye will last very long.
- An alternative is to have 2 pottery flasks, one empty and one with 1 garlic. Filling the empty one first then transferring it to the 2nd leaves an almost zero quantity to the first. Depending on what seed has the smallest volume it could be even less. This method used with a garlic results in ~0,001kg of lye.
- To get the best ratio to create lye put 3 garlic and 4 barley in a pottery flask then drag the 2.00 water from a pottery jar to the flask to leave 1.90 water in the pottery jar.
