The Krak Pot is a talking crock pot who is responsible for all alchemy in Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies and Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime.
Appearances and usage[edit]
Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies[edit]
It is located at the Quester's Rest in Stornway. After the Hero has defeated Morag, Erinn places it on the counter with the explanation that it was accidently left at the inn a long time ago.
It is used to mix item ingredients to make other items. This can be done either manually using the 'Try Your Luck' option, or by using recipes which are collected throughout the game. When first used, only a few recipes are available to the player. If the group of items being combined are not compatible, the ingredients are not lost, but instead returned to the player. This makes experimentation much more appealing.
If the player successfully combines items using the 'Try Your Luck' option, the recipe for the item made will be recorded in the recipe book. Many players use external sources such as strategy guides or online guides to know recipes before attempting them.
Krak Pot is the only means to acquire the most powerful weapons and armor in the game. These recipes require very rare ingredients which can only be acquired through Grottos in the post game. A more common use of Krak Pot is to give the player an infinite supply of money by making Gold armor or Ear cosys.
Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime[edit]
It is initially found inside a building at Mt. Krakatroda. After defeating "Pot Belly" the Jargon, who was trying to stealing it, Rocket manages to "rescue" the pot and bring it back to Boingburg in Slimenia. Since then, it is located on a wagon that is on the east side of Ducktor Cid's workshop.
It has the same utility as in Dragon Quest IX, but slightly different. The only way to do alchemy here is via the available recipes that already are received from the letters that the rescued slimes write, with "Try Your Luck" option not being available. Also, all items to be alchemized only need at most 2 ingredient kinds, compared to 3 max ingredient kinds from Dragon Quest IX.
This is the only way to get better equipment and ammunition for the Schleiman Tank that cannot be obtained otherwise. Also, it is usually a potential money supply by making Gold bars.
Changes of the Alchemy System[edit]
In the main games, various changes have been made to the process of alchemy from VIII. The most notable change is that alchemy can only be performed at Quester's Rest rather than being able to carry it around. However, all alchemy is now performed instantaneously, meaning that the player is no longer forced to wait for items to be completed. The player is also able to make multiples of items using the Krak Pot if one has enough ingredients to do so.
