    Mercury to silver is an easy transformation. You just take a vial of quicksilver, and make it run laps until it’s really tired.

      But that’s not all that useful, since it’s not stable and will turn soon into quickersilver

      While this may work short-term, eventually you’ll end up with a bunch of quickersilver, which is much harder to convert. While it’s a bit more work, I find the conversion from mercury to improvised cudgel is an easier transformation so long as you perform it in locations already high in gold content. Do note that this is a potentially volatile and dangerous reaction.
