What is alchemical?

[BoBoDaClown]

Ok, another noob question :)

I have got a rough (real rough) grasp on how greensteel crafting works, but what is this 'alchemical' bonus that people refer to, that include farming low level collectables (which I normally leave)? I would love a link or an explanation.

Also, people talk about hitting their 20th successful raid, what is the significance of that? Does it apply to all raids?

Thank you :)

Also several potions from collectable trade-ins can give an alchemical bonus to stats.

this only applies to shroud only. for the rest, they have a selection of half the list of the items randomly appear (inc tomes) if i remember correctly. this is a very good way to "farm" for a rare raid item

So that's all raids, including tempest spine? Or only the higher level ones?
