Homunculus - What it is, how to get it, and how it works!

[Xojii]

hi guys, is it also possible to get use multiple homunculus at the same time?

skill from current user not from creator.

You can’t use Alchemist stone if old homunculus not expire.

[renato.oliveiras]

The Alchemist’s Stone is tradable, however, other characters cannot use it.“Unable to use this item in its current state.”

Hi, I traded it to another alchemist c3, but he can’t use it. Same error.

Hi there, will my homunculus only be able to cast those skills? Even if I have pyro 2, wiz and elementalist?

[Imouto]

a) any dmg numbers with magic missile?

Sorry, mine is a PryoLinker. I’m assuming the damage is still low though.

b) how often does the homunculus cast? is that equal for all skills or do skills have the same cooldowns as for players?

I believe the CD is the same as the skills for player.
For example, both my Homunculus and I use Joint Penalty at the same time. 22 seconds later, we both will be able to use it again.

A problem with Homunculus is that it has to be standing still for a few seconds to cast.

c) Does the homu seem to have global cooldowns? With that i mean, if the homu casts a skill it only ever casts 1 skill and then waits to cast any skill again for a set period (global cooldown) or can it spam 2 or 3 of its skill in quick succession, as it would be for individual cooldowns?

I’ll test this when I have time. My Homunculus is just used for extra linking.

d) does creater stats matter? or the stats of the player that summons the homu from the egg? If so are they snapshotted as it is the case for other summons? (meaning if i transpose to full int, does the homunculus retain higher stats for the whole lifetime)

It doesn’t seems so. Refer to post 194 and 195.

e) is it confirmed you can create Homunculus with divine might on c2?

You can get level 6 Magnum Opus so I assume you can. Have not tested actual crafting though.

That’s strange. Does he have Magnum Opus?
You might need it to use the stone. I’m not sure.

Yes. Well. It can cast those skills because you have those classes.

There is also a bug where the Homunculus will disappear when you die. It comes back after loading.

I assume Homunculus skill levels are equal to the one who uses the stone?

[renato.oliveiras]

Thanks, she figured it out, it was the Magnum Opus skill indeed.

As for my homunculus, wasn’t it supposed to be able to use electrocute, hail, meteor, fire wall, prominence? As i do have those skills.

Subzero Shield
Gust

Linker

Rain - Why is rain here when it doesn’t fit? Well, you could take elem c3>alch c2 and use Divine Might to get Magnum Opus 6 to create a homunculus to get Rain! Just theory crafting… no idea if it actually works. Otherwise, wait til rank 9 I guess.

Chronomancer

Note: Magnum Opus 5 plus divine might is NOT enabling you to craft a Homunculus sadly

Just a vid about Homunculous in play

[deanoreadman]

Where are you guys getting your silver bars from? a specific dungeon cube or?

I mostly ask because it’s not something I want to buy from othert people every 10 days and people are selling stacks of them on the market so they must be coming from somewhere!

[lunettesrouges]

The level 50 dungeon when you reroll cube twice you often have silver bar, golden bar, junk, and almost 100% times a boss card if you rolled thrice that is sold in market around 100 000 while you paid for 0 to 40 000.

I have a question for alchemists out there, I’ve had a quick look at the homonculus datamined recipe and although I didnt try to memorise it because I prefer to find things ingame something struck me: the recipe requires 10 different items (even more I think) disposed on specific slots on a 8x8 grid.
Did anyone find an ingame clue as to how to craft an homonculus? Because if there isnt, even assuming that we know which 10 items are required, there are roughly 64^10 possible combinations (which is about billions of billions). We’re not supposed to chance upon the right combination, are we?
I know alchi can buy a magnum opus explanation from the alchi master (it gives the recipes to transmute wings and roots and shells, although the recipe to transmute roots never worked for anything) did anyone ever found something similar for homonculus and other exotic recipes?
I’m not asking to be told where but I’d like to know if they are present anywhere?

[ImVeryJelly]

If I recall correctly, they gave us the combination for homunculus in a picture when R8 came out.

[lemaitre_dulotus]

Imc devs are retards. MO IS unusuable without datamining.

If I recall correctly, they gave us the combination for homunculus in a picture when R8 came out.

Yup, they did.

I wouldnt go that far I actually like the concept and 99% of the Magnum Opus recipes only require 1 ingredient and the interface automatically highlights the transformations you can achieve. So technically all you have to do is fill your MO page with 1 ingredient and you will know if it does something or not. For the purpose of filling the MO page all you need is 1 unit of whatever you want to check (basically you can drag and drop the same ingredient infinitely but once you ask the skill to start the crafting, if you dont have enough material in your inventory the craft fails) so finding most recipes is easy although time consuming.
But from the moment the recipe require at least 2 differents ingredients the minimum number of possible combinations becomes 4096 which make the discovery of advanced recipes virtually impossible by brute force exploration.

If I recall correctly, they gave us the combination for homunculus in a picture when R8 came out.

Is this info kept somewhere in the diegesis of the game? I suppose giving the info away in a post or a picture is a way to inform the players but technically it is the characters withing the world of ToS that need to be informed and players learn through them.

If there was a sort of minigame system telling you after failling a craft and consuming your materials (or part of them) which slots were the beginning of a valid craft I would have no issue, you could find them by trial and error and a lot of investment but if there is no humanly possible way for the characters ingame to learn some recipes the MO skill is unfinished at best.

My first attempt to do solmiki with homunculous,

Though its only 35f, i didn’t expected to reach this floor at first try. Its really good to have great Teammates, with a semi-pub party XD

Homunculous may seems useless, but to make it useful, you must to find it out by yourself.

Cheers.

edit: no link scroll used, probably.

[wendel_burqui]
