Yeah, they come at you with their centaur, you pop it into gold
its a decent counter, and the hands are cheap enough that it'll pay itself back pretty nquick

244 By nllamera 2009-10-03

can this item trigger blooodseaker's healing skill?

243 By Seras54 2009-09-22

Ehh, i think its good on occasion, escpecially against chen, but msot of the time its not worth it.

@Crashbound: You forgot to take into account the IAS, even call it 700 gold, which is less than it is worth, and the time is suddenly (1200/150)*100=800 seconds, so 13 mins 20 secs to pay itself back. Suddenly if you are a lategamer it looks a lot better.

@varunshenoyg:
As Alchemist I personally, instead of farming, would be supporting my team in ganks all early game (5 Second stun FTW) unless we didn't have a tank, which, then I would probably farm up some items, thus coming under the 'crazy farmer' criteria.

@Crashbound: Hows this instead- You choose Alchemist and level up his Goblin Greed and go jungling with HoM.. You are through killing a creep camp except for 1 last big neutral creep which u decide to transmute instead.. Here you get the bonus of transmute + Goblin's greed to around a 10% increase in gold of transmute which over time is a lot.
I have seen this example where the Alchemist does nothing but farm early game, get items for his team and then support during clashes: Its innovative

OK! Math time!

Cost of item: 1900
Cool down: 100 seconds
Avg. Gold earned by transmuting:(roughly) 150g

Casts to pay itself back: 1900/150 = 13 (rounded)

Time to pay itself back: 13*100 = 1300
(Divide by 60 to obtain minutes) = 22 mins

That's assuming that every time its up, you cast it instantly (very rare)

So unless your a crazy farmer (such as a late carry/DPSer) and you need to farm for 30+ minutes of the game then i'd say this item is not exactly viable.

yeah when rearm use to work with this, he use to be godly with all that cash!!! super tank, super early!!!

236 By bobbob247 2009-09-01

Well, tinker-rearm used to work with this, a while back.

235 By Zorb effect 2009-08-30

Please don't critisize me, it is only a joke.

RUSH REFRESHER AND MIDAS

234 By mrgamesman 2009-08-30

Love getting this on PA if i random her, makes getting her late game items much easier, and you can just use this and her dagger to farm (no real need to put yourself in danger)

233 By eternalobi 2009-08-24

a very underrated item. i dont see a lot ppl use.
