Hello, This is my second FAQ for Star Ocean: The Second Story. This one is
based on the different items you can create through the specialty "Compounding".
By mixing 2 of the 6 different herbs in the game together, you can create a
variety of potions, pills, ointments, and more that will help you on your quest.
First of all, to get the Compounding skill, you need to have Biology,
Mental Science, and Herbal Medicine. The herbs you can mix together are Aceras,
Artemis Leaf, Lavender, Mandrake, Rose Hips, and Wolfsbane. So far, I have only
noticed 4 different creations from each mixture. And finally, to aid in
Compounding, there are the Antiseptic Gloves, which are made through Machinery
which I may discuss in another FAQ once I get everything listed.
