Consumables in Fatekeeper are the umbrella term for items that disappear after use: potions, weapon vials and oils, and handbombs. All three are produced through the three-ingredient alchemy system. The skill tree includes a dedicated consumable branch that turns this category from a tactical option into a build identity.

Skill Tree Connection
The consumable branch is the centerpiece of one of the four officially showcased build archetypes (see Build Guide: Consumable Alchemist). The dev coverage describes four broad node families inside the branch:
Improved alchemy results. Higher quality outputs from the same three-ingredient recipe.
Longer durations. Buff and oil effects last longer per use.
Chance not to consume. A percentage chance that an item is not used up after activation.
Count-scaling. Effect strength or duration scales with the number of consumables carried, rewarding heavy inventory loadouts.
A committed alchemist Druid can keep most of their consumable buffs active for entire encounters, turning what would be tactical pings in a generalist build into a layered, persistent state.
Inventory Considerations
Consumables compete for inventory slots with non-consumable gear, ingredients, and relics. A full alchemist loadout typically dedicates a meaningful share of inventory to consumables and to ingredients for on-the-fly crafting. Pre-launch material has not confirmed weight or carry-cap rules; the working assumption is that inventory pressure is meaningful but not punitive.
Best Build
See Build Guide: Consumable Alchemist for the canonical setup that leans into this branch. The build sketch combines the four perk families above with alchemy recipe knowledge and a flexible weapon loadout that can apply oils on a moment's notice.
Open Questions
Specific named consumables and their stat lines are not yet revealed.
Whether consumables can be combined into stronger compound items via alchemy is hinted but not confirmed.
Whether the chance-not-to-consume node has a hard cap is unrevealed.
Whether boss arenas restrict consumable use is an open question for the Early Access build.
