Alchemy Table

The Alchemy Table is a post-Skeletron crafting station used to craft potions. It is found in the dungeon after Skeletron has been defeated. It works almost identically to Placed Bottles when crafting potions, except it has a chance of not consuming ingredients. It can be found randomly in the Dungeon, and in the it can also be obtained by fishing in the Dungeon.

When a potion is crafted with the Alchemy Table, there is a chance for each ingredient to not be consumed. There is a separate probability check for each of the ingredients used in making the potion, including each of those in a stack. This is effective for gaining more value out of alchemy ingredients, especially of those that are hard to obtain.

 * Unlike the Alchemy Station, the Alchemy Table can be placed on any block rather than just flat furniture items.
 * The Alchemy Table can be caught while fishing in the dungeon.
