All this time, I’ve been hauling around the Sword Coast seed bank, wondering when I’ll get to use this stuff.
game could have done a better job at explaining alchemy mechanics
Press i, open alchemy tab (direct hotkey might be h or something) At the bottom of the window is a button to make all available extracts at once
I saw that button, but making a mountain of extracts was not what I wanted to do, so I never used it.
I don’t think there’s any reason not to make all the extracts. AFAIK the unextracted ingredients aren’t usable for anything
Careful with extracting all ingredients.
Act 1 underdark spoiler:

I extracted all ingredients in between picking up required ingredients from Arcane Tower and then giving them to Omeluum in the Myconid Colony. From what I remember, it locked me out and I had to reload.
There was no apparent reason to extract them, because I had no potion recipe that could use them. That’s the point of this post.
As far as I could tell, extraction would just create clutter, and given how much clutter this game already has, that was reason enough not to do it.
I’m nearing the end of Act 3… There are Alchemy recipes?!
