I've been on roughly a 10 year hiatus and I'm coming across these "alchemy tokens" to do things like create a plushie or beanbag item. Is there an actual use for these? If so, how do you go about using them?

Many thanks!

Yes, there is a use. [topic not found] The list of recipes on the first page haven't been updated in a while, but users have compiled the most recent ones on the last pages. Nonetheless it should help you get started. One big thing is that you need a zombie skin unlocked and worn in order to do it.

Ah, great! Thanks so much!

Now I guess the next thing to figure out is how to unlock a zombie skin haha.

Zombie skins are unlocked during the Survival event in February, you can get infected with various zombie viruses and once it progresses through all of the stages you unlock it as a skin in your wardrobe. Any zombie skin will work to gain access to the alchemy feature, but if you don't have one yet you can sometimes find people willing to make the items for you if you provide the ingredients.

I just took a look in my wardrobe and found that I had one from many, many moons ago so I'm able to get in to craft. Thanks!

Nice, have fun crafting!
