Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land Synthesis Guide

In *Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land*, mastering the Synthesis mechanic is key to enhancing your gameplay experience. This intricate system intertwines with every resource you gather and every weapon you craft, making it essential to understand and utilize effectively. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you make the most of Synthesis in the game.

Synthesis Types in Atelier Yumia

There are three distinct types of Synthesis in *Atelier Yumia*:

• Regular Synthesis: Conducted at an Alchemist’s altar, this is used to craft weapons, armor, battle accessories, magical items, and necessary materials. The Atelier, which you unlock early in the game, serves as your primary location for regular Synthesis. Additionally, you can build Simple Altars on cleared manabound zones and at campsites for regular Synthesis.
• Simple Synthesis: Accessible anytime outside of battle through the radial menu, this type allows you to craft essential items like bandages, gauntlets for ziplines, and various repair kits, provided you have the required resources.
• Building Synthesis: Available in certain plots of land via the radial menu, this involves crafting storage chests and wall hangings. Although not explicitly labeled as Synthesis, it's referred to as such in the storyline, so keep that in mind to avoid confusion.

How to Synthesize Equipment in Atelier Yumia

Regular Synthesis at altars is the most complex form of Synthesis. Here’s how to craft items like a gun staff for Yumia:

1. Find the Recipe: Explore the game world to discover recipes. You can also upgrade existing recipes at a Recipe Recall Station using particles found at mana fountains.
2. Select the Gun Staff Type: Choose the specific gun staff you want to create.
3. Choose Synthesis Skills: If available, select Synthesis Skills from the skill tree to enhance your items with damage and quality boosts.
4. Select the Initial Alchemy Core: Decide on the core to build upon:
   • Effects Alchemy Core: Enhances the selected skills.
   • Quality Alchemy Core: Improves the quality level of the item.
   • Trait Alchemy Core: Increases the number of Trait Crystal slots for item customization.
5. Fill the Slots: Add the collected resources to each Alchemy Core's slots.
6. Collect Mana Fragments: Gather these to further increase the item's quality.
7. Synthesize the Item: Complete the process to create your new item.

To craft powerful items early on, unlock Synthesis Skills from the skill tree as soon as possible. These skills not only boost item quality but also allow you to duplicate items, saving valuable resources. Additionally, you can enhance the item by adding resources to all three Alchemy Cores using the left or right bumper. Collecting mana fragments for all cores significantly boosts item strength, a strategy to employ unless you're crafting a quest item.

When selecting resources, pay attention to element types, indicated by a blue outline, to maximize effects. You can organize resources in the submenu to prioritize higher-quality items or focus on specific effects as needed.

If the detailed Synthesis process feels overwhelming, you can opt for the auto-Synthesis feature after selecting Synthesis Skills. This option simplifies the process, allowing the game to create the best possible item, which is sufficient to tackle the final boss on Normal difficulty.

Understanding and mastering the Synthesis mechanic in *Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land* is crucial for enhancing your gameplay. With these tips, you'll be well-equipped to craft the best items and enjoy a more rewarding experience.
