I played with Alchemy this weekend (CB5) because I wanted to see how much of a drain on my Kinah leveling this would be before release. If you plan on using work orders to level up alchemy, plan on spending a lot of money. After finding this out I went hunting for a solution and I found it: “free” recipes.
It won’t stop you from having to spend money on some of the work orders but there are enough “free” crafting recipes out there that it’ll definitely make a difference to your pocketbook.
The first 40 levels of every level of alchemy except master can be gotten without having to spend a single Kinah if you’re up for gathering a lot of elemental stones and ore. Levels 1-40 of each level can be gotten by turning elemental stones into either powder or water and levels 21-60 can be gotten by turning ores into powder. (the elemental stones and ores will differ w/ level of course)
Boo! This blog sux! Jk, looking good.
