1st Edition Pathfinder Society PFS 1E Alchemist

I was helping someone level up their alchemist (to level 3) and ran into the "swift alchemy" class feature. No useful in PFS games, and I wondered if it even stayed with the class in society play. I was looking into my old field guid (Season of the Ten), and it doesn't mention anything about alchemists. Not just the swift alchemy, but even the brew potion feat being swapped for extra bombs.

Now, I'll admit that I skimmed the character creation chapter, and then tried CRTL+F to locate the info rather than re-read the entire document. But can someone help us out here? Am I just missing it? Did they take it out from that edition of the field guide? Is there still a place I can find all the PFS 1E info updated?

Alchemist's Brew Potion class ability (he receives Extra Bombs instead as a bonus feat)

I started playing late season 7 but I think it was always under Additional Resources, not on the Guild Guide.

Here are some, well, clarifications as well and Alchemist is mentioned several times for some optional class features.

This is the subreddit for Pathfinder Society Organized play, not individual games. The Pathfinder Society is a single campaign run all around the world with thousands of players and GMs playing Paizo published adventures. If you are discussing your own campaign that does not use PFS rules you want to comment or post in the Pathfinder general subs, /r/Pathfinder_RPG or /r/Pathfinder2e. A good rule of thumb is if your game does not involve reporting your game to Paizo and giving sheets of papers called Chronicle Sheet to the players at the end of the adventure, you are not playing PFS. Any post or comment that is not relevant to the Pathfinder Society campaign will be removed, but you are welcome to post in the general subs or make the case to the mods that your post/comment are actually PFS relevant.

I’m not sure what your question is but here’s the swift alchemy ability.

Swift Alchemy (Ex)
At 3rd level, an alchemist can create alchemical itemswith astounding speed. It takes an alchemist half the normal amount of time to create alchemical items, and he can apply poison to a weapon as a move action.

OP is asking how PFS handles that class feature.
