Formulae

Formulae are alchemical recipes for creating potions, oils and bombs. Each formula lists the required ingredients and describes the type of base necessary to create the mixture. These recipes are typically acquired by reading scrolls, but some may be acquired through word of mouth, i.e. by speaking with certain NPCs. In addition, they can be learned by alchemical experimentation during meditation and subsequent usage with exception of fisstech which requires only experimentation.

In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt[ | ]

In The Witcher 3, formulae appear in your journal along with crafting diagrams. You begin with several default recipes and schematics and then find or purchase more as time goes on.

As of Patch 1.07, you can "pin" any given formula and this will cause the list of items needed to craft the formula to appear in the shop panel, making it easier to keep track of what you still need to acquire.
