For sources without Hit Die, assume that the DC for simple, everyday sources, is 10, with 15 for unusual sources, and 20 for rare sources. Legendary and unheard of sources could be DC 25 and over.

This strange looking device has a large metal cylinder mounted on top of what appears to be a crossbow frame but lacking the arms that defines such a weapon, closer examination reveals a tightly coiled spring housed inside the tube, this device was created by adventuring alchmists as means to deliver their potent chemical formulas froma safer distance, Increase the rang increment of all grenadelike weapons fired from this device to 40ft.

I use the magic item creation rules in the DMG to figure out the market price for my alchemical equipment. For example, a potion with a 2nd level spell by a third level caster would cost 150 gp, 25x2 (the spell level)x3(the caster level). At the end, I double the price to 300 gp, as they are non-magical, and thus more powerful than their equivalent spells. Raw materials cost 1/3rd the market price, making it 100 gp for an alchemist. In order to make a lot of alchemical equipment to keep up with the spell casters, I implemented the Multi-tasking talent tree, and the Fast Creation, Swift Creation, and Expert Creation rules.

This vest is specially built for the alchemist on the go! It is specially lined with deerskin-twice-to prevent nasty burns. It provides -1 to chemical damage (splash or direct). The sides of the vest are covered with plenty of different component pouches, each with their own protective flap and sealing buckle. If declared buckled, components inside of buckled pouches will not spill, even when fumbling (Natural 1).
Cost: 50 GP ?

Since they are non-magic, they are priced like potions to their magical equivalents, but the market price is increased by 10%. For dispel magic, you must target individual magic equipment, and antimagic fields do not come into use by spell casters until 11th level.

In order to figure out the price for raw materials when making improved alchemical equipment, take the base cost of the alchemical equipment, or the masterwork cost if it is masterwork, and add the listed “price” next to the improved alchemical equipment. Divide by 3, and you have the list of the needed gp value of raw materials. If you want the market price, do not divide the value by 3.

With the exception of Everburning Torches, using the special ability uses the alchemical item, and cannot be used again. You need to make a new piece of alchemical equipment in order use the ability again. With Everburning Torches, after using the ability, it reverts back to either a normal or masterwork Everburning Torch, depending on what it was originally created as. In order to regain the ability, you must pay 1/3rd of the cost the Everburning Torch would have had to “regain” the ability.

Masterwork Alchemist's Fire: This flask of Alchemist's Fire deals 1d8 fire damage grants a +2 bonus on damage rolls. Market Price: 30 gp.
Masterwork Everburning Torch: The masterwork version of this alchemical torch provides clear illumination to 40 feet, and shadowy illumination to 80 feet. Market Price: 165 gp.

From Halidan of the Candlekeep message boards:
I like the concept in principle, but I've got some problems with the way you've taken the Everburning Torch. Rather than have it become some sort of illusion based wand with Daze/Rainbow Pattern/Fire Storm (BTW - where did that come from??)and then Scintilating Pattern, I think you should simply have the torch come closer to actual sunlight. The prgress could go something like this:

Improved Everburning Torch = The warmth of the torch acts as a Resist Energy (cold) spell on the person carrying the torch. (Cleric 2nd)
Exceptional Everburning Torch = Torch acts as a Daylight Spell within it's radius. (Bard 3rd)
Savvy Everburning Torch = Torch can cast a Seering Light Spell (Cleric 3rd)
Peerless Everburning Torch = Torch can cast a Sunbeam Spell (Cleric 7th)
Sublime Everburning Torch = Sunburst Spell (Cleric 8th)

The other question I have is about how often the spells can be cast from the torch. Most alchemical items have a duration - by definition, the torch lasts forever. Allowing it to cast a multiple number of these spells makes the item too powerful. My suggestion would be that once the spell is cast, the torch goes out for good. How does this seem to you folks?

I know. I am just posting it on multiple D&D messageboards to get people's opinion on it. So far, all people that commented think that it is good, and one suggested that I should find a good price range for Improved Alchemy. I am afraid that if I make them too expensive, then there will be no incentive to buy a 2d6 vial of acid if two vials that deal 1d6 each are cheaper.

His reply:
Simply make the cost exponential. And also put some constraint on the kind that if two vials are thrown at the same target, at least some time must pass before the other makes effect.

Healing Solvent: Requires 4 ranks of Craft (Alchemy) and 1 rank in Heal.

The Healing Solvent converts 1d4 points of damage per rank of Heal the creator had into nonlethal damage. You can only benefit from this once a day. If someone tries to use another Healing Solvent on you, the effort is wasted. The market price is 40 gp per rank in heal. If you possess an ability from the “healing” talent tree from the Alchemist Core Class, this does not count towards your daily uses.
Improvements:
Masterwork: Converts 1d6 points of damage per rank of Heal. Market Price: 60 gp per rank.
Improved: Non-magical equivalent of Cure Light Wounds.
Exceptional: Non-magical equivalent of Cure Moderate Wounds.
Savvy: Non-magical equivalent of Cure Serious Wounds .
Masterful: Non-magical equivalent of Cure Critical Wounds.
Peerless: Non-magical equivalent of Heal.
Sublime: Non-magical equivalent of Regenerate
