Fun stuff.
Judging by the preexisting delay, uh, see yall next year.

Hmm, what a problematic manga/appraisal skill. It suggests that distilled water is better quality than boiled, meaning that it implies it is better to drink distilled water.
This is definitely not the case. While you definitely can drink distilled water mostly safely, the lack of minerals and salts/electrolytes means that there are dangers involved. One is that it is far from as effective in hydrating your body, and over long period of usage could probably (this is just my uneducated guess) drain your body of those things if you don't supplement it from other sources. It has also been linked to nutrient deficiencies (most likely for same reason as what I guessed before. Or rather, aren't those two things actually the same thing?). Also likely to damage specific parts of your body when in contact with them, due to lacking any saturation of contaminants. Meaning it is very prone to leeching/extracting contaminants and can leave parts of your body deprived of ie. required salts (eyes?) or flouride (teeth), which btw is also part of why it is ideal for washing most chemical accidents in lab-settings, like if you spilled something into your eyes. The lack of saturation can also make it dissolve more of pollutants that are worse than found in regular tap water, like say, if you were to bottle it in a toxic container (if it is the kind of container that is known to be bad to store tap water in over a long period of time, then that is probably bad for storing distilled water in over shorter periods too).
... There is also a source that says it might have excess contaminants, such as arsenic, but I don't know if that is true as naively I would assume distillation would get rid of that as well as any other contaminant with a boiling-point below waters.

i mean, quality in this case is purity, which is important in real world science too, so not really wrong. Distilled water is better than tap water, because of the minerals and stuff messing with the chemical reactions when the water isn't pure enough.

Also note that the apraisal skill does mention if the water is drinkable (boiled water is listed as "No Bacteria, Drinkable" at page 6, while), and then omits that in the Distilled water (the details this time are "Distilled Water, Pure Clean Water", no Drinkable mentioned)

@Sisig I completely forgot about this manga until today. Thank you. The callout in the credits page surprised me

Immediate edit: just realized my name is a little different on here, I’m Feveious

why is it that city people always think well water needs boiling in the first place? i've been drinking untreated well water for almost 60 years, just as it comes up out of the ground. never got sick from it even once.

That really depends on the well. though to be clear, when I said "as well" I did not mean "as well water".

Having lived my life in a northern area, well water is generally safe to drink, if often rather bleh in taste due to iron 'contamination' (arguably a contaminant that makes it more healthy ) from the ground itself. Some years over at the summer place it was pretty much required to use juice/squash?/whatever its called or it was impossible to drink it from the strong taste.
But if you instead live in more tropical areas, you often truly do need to boil the well water for it to not be actively unhealthy and giving you the runs. People who grew up drinking it unboiled generally has little issue, but it is often absolutely not healthy for someone whose body is unused to it.
But even then, it also depends on the well itself (how it is build) and its surroundings (including depth). Particularly wells that hits deeper deposits, the chill of the earth is still enough to keep it from becoming an issue.

So city folks think they need to boil well water because their bodies/immune systems are not used to even the slightest trace of biological activity in the drinking water. As well as because usually when they do encounter wells, it is when they travel as tourists to tropical still-developing areas where the hotter temperatures makes it very hospitable to bacteria.

Hope that answered your question!

Ugh...
Appraisal skill and game UI. The source of lazy and uninspired writing. Why mangaka fail so hard at writing a decent story around alchemy is beyond me.
I couldn't find a single one that's actually good until now. Dropped like a hot potato.

Maybe I should just continue to play some atelier games.

You are missing the point.
Higher purity means better quality. In their world as same as in ours. Just because a substance of higher purity may be more harmful for human consumption doesn't change that fact. We even have definitions for that in our world (food grade, p.A. ect)
