Full Metal Alchemist! - Alchemy 101

[Somajan]

Is there another alternative to making mercury than just desynthing Cobalt Jellyfish? I'm having a hard time with those.

[gleneasy]

yeah me too

^^^^

There are no other synths on Mystery Tour so I doubt it. It's a pain trying to fish them up, and the guild just about never has any. They go for 3-4.5k/stack on Asura in every city.

forgot i saw this posted by venkelos

I made Kodoku from 15-19

Recipe
Kodoku - 18
Dark Crystal
x1 Elshimo Frog
x1 Shell Bug
x1 Lug Worm

It was actually a pretty good money maker, and fairly reliable skill ups. =-)
This is an excellent thread!

Re: Full Metal Alchemist! - Alchemy 101

So which area can I sign up for Alchemy San d'Oria, Windurst, Bastok, Jueno, or Kazham?

Re: Full Metal Alchemist! - Alchemy 101

There is no guild sign up in any city other than the 3 starting cities. Alchemy is in Bastok Mines.
Also an addition to the list should be sleeping potions from 51 to 55. I got really lucky and there was a high demand for them that was being met. So while I skilled up I was actually earning 10k a stack (thats after losing up to 5k on breaks). Eventually the other alchemists clued into this and sleeping potion stacks went from 30k to 15k but if you arent failing very much you'll still break even.

Sleeping Potion = 1 water crystal + sleepshroom + poison flour (buy from goblin npc in jueno) + chamomile (buy from M&P npc in jeuno)

Re: Full Metal Alchemist! - Alchemy 101

Philisopher Stones drop in KS fights only I believe, maybe BCNM as well, I'm too lazy to check right now. They sell for 80-100k each on Fenrir and about 1.2 Mil per stack. Once you get to the level you start using these to level up you should be able to support the costs and the inevitable breaks.

99 - 100 is utter hell.

Do not touch Ahriman Wings before 99, you will regret it when you cant find any at level 99.
