At level +10, the toolkit can be used immediately upon equip. This artifact doesn't really have charge, it instead generates alchemical energy as the Hero gathers experience.

To upgrade the toolkit, 5 alchemical energy is required.Įnergy generated by the toolkit can't be used to upgrade it.Įnergy gained per level's worth of experienceĪrtifact recharging generates 0.25 alchemical energy each turn. Energy used will pay for itself after gaining 5 levels worth of XP. The cursed toolkit has bound itself to your side, and refuses to let you use alchemy. A cursed toolkit will prevent you from interacting with alchemy pots.Ĭhalice of Blood Replaces Ring of Mending.+10: The chalice is filled to the brim with your life essence. You can feel the chalice pouring life energy back into you. The chalice of blood passively increases natural health regeneration it does that by reducing the amount of turns between the times Hero regains 1 HP naturally. The effect works as long as the Hero is not starving. A +10 chalice allows regenerating 1 HP per turn. The Chalice is upgraded by using the 'prick' command, which deals damage to the Hero in exchange for an upgrade.Ĭhalice is the only artifact that doesn't have any active effects and energy. This damage can be dangerous in the short term, but the increase in regeneration can be very helpful in the long term. You don't have to upgrade all at once wait until you're strong enough to take the damage.īase damage inflicted by each upgrade (level is prior to prick)Įach prick deals a base amount of damage equal to 3 * level^2 where level is the chalice's upgrade level prior to issuing the prick command. The damage is reduced by armor and most damage reduction effects like herbal armor and rock armor, but not by glyphs. Since some of these reductions, like armor, are random the effect of a lucky roll verses an unlucky one can make the difference between a successful upgrade and death especially with higher armor upgrade levels. If the damage drives HP to zero and there is a blessed ankh in inventory then it will be consumed as usual and the upgrade will be counted successful. However, being revived by regular ankh doesn't result in a successful upgrade. Since the base damage rises exponentially, it is very difficult to upgrade the Chalice past +7.

The most viable way without breaking Ankhs is by pricking when at full health with a potion of shielding but be aware of how much shielding you have before you prick. Otherwise, when at full HP, there is a minimum safe level for the hero to be at before attempting the next chalice upgrade. An elixir of might can improve the safe prick threshold by several levels. It's possible to reach +10 at Hero Level 19 with only one potion of shielding and one Blessed Ankh.
