Most of today's RPGs have a crafting element that includes a way for characters to make their own weapons, food, or potions. ??????In Baldur's Gate 3, there's only one such profession available, Alchemy, and it be used to concoct a variety of useful materials beyond just the usual potions and elixirs.
Alchemy in Baldur's Gate 3 includes the usual potions and elixirs, along with an impressive array of other handy mixtures for explosives, weapon coatings, poisons, and grenades. They can also be purchased from vendors, but for those that have a lower Charisma and need to save their gold, it's better to understand the fine art of Alchemy.
Preparing Materials
Just like in real life, it's necessary to gather and prepare the raw materials before the player can make anything. It's easy for the various ingredients to fill up the player's inventory, which is why the game starts by giving everyone an 
Alchemy Pouch
along with a Backpack and Keychain.
Finding Ingredients
The various plants, herbs, and mushrooms of the Sword Coast don't shine, glow, or sparkle like in other games, but they do stand out as colorful or distinctive plants. It's much easier to find ingredients in the wilderness, but they are abundant underground.
The Underdark, for example, has some of the rarest and most valuable plants and mushrooms. on the other hand, if the party is visiting a city, buy them from various vendors in cities and towns.
Unlocking Recipes
There are different ways to unlock Alchemy recipes in Baldur's Gate 3. Sometimes, all a character has to do is pick up a plant to learn any recipes associated with it. Recipes can also be discovered during the Alchemy process when refining raw materials into refined ingredients.
Another way to learn a recipe is to read it on a note, parchment, or book so that the player can interact with the environment. Some of these items are part of side or hidden quests.
There's no Alchemy Pouch equivalent for what the character makes with Alchemy, and those potions, grenades, and other handy items clutter up the bags. It's highly recommended that the player pick up another empty backpack or pouch and use that to store their creations.
