A question for how the Hermit/Night Walker 3rd Advancement's Alchemist works with Zombify:

At max level, Alchemist gives an addition 50% in potion use, which makes potions have 150% effect. However, I also know that Zombify reduces potion effectiveness by 50%, so when Alchemist and Zombify are combined, which effect will be in place:

1. 150% (Maxed Alchemist) potion effectiveness gets cut into half with potions at 75%,

OR

2. Alchemist +50% and Zombify -50% potion effectiveness cancel each other out and leaves potion effect at 100%?

This is just something I've wondered about since I have never got a chance to test out which outcome it is (As I'd rather not risk dying at Margana during the CWKPQ boss fight. Thanks to anyone that knows the answer.

Not sure if you've tested/figured it out yet, but I know it's #1, which means pot effectiveness is only at 75% max thanks to max Alchemist for Hermits/NL's/NW's. A nice 25% pot advantage versus every other class.
