Hello
lv96 Alchemy on Fairy, and fear that its stuck for a while. >.>
Rainbow thread has risen to 480k a stack, and .9 away, my tab is gonna be pretty high ^^;
Funny story that happened about 2 weeks ago I thought I would share. A DRG recently turned RNG friend of mine msg'd me and asked what lv alc I was, and to his shock I was above 95, how he did't know with "Alchemy 96" in my bazaar, is beyond me. >.>
Anywho, he says the lv100 alchemists he knows are all either logged off or afk, and darksday new moon coming to a close, pleaded that I attempt to make his hawkers and asked my price. Since Im new I charged 10% of last AH sale price. Most on our server charge 25-40% of AH price. So he was joyful. We get to bastok, and he trades me 5 dragon blood to try out. First synth, +1 !! /joy^^ . 2nd and 3rd are nq. 4th is a break and lose all materials. /cry ; ;. He tells me "I dont care what happens, you made me one and I am happy." 5th synth, made a 2nd +1!! He couldn't believe it and gladly paid the 660k price for the hq's.
Since then I have gotten many many tells, from NA and JP alike, asking to synth hawkers. Which is very astonishing, considering there are about 4 lv100 alchemy NA's and about 6 lv100 alchemy JP's on the server. Business has gone well since then^^
Since I dont have a host I posted the ss's on our ls' forums. Check it out if you like, http://216.232.25.213/theforsaken/viewtopic.php?t=784 .
Now for the disappointments (yes I know this thread is probably long, I'm sorry^^).
Suprisingly I have no GP items, but working very hard for them. I find myself very frustrated with the GP items requested for Alchemy from day to day, as most items are either, not sold very often (once per month) or materials are just very rare and expensive. Mainly the stat potions, beeswax, wax sword, many status weapons, are all very difficult, because of price and availability. Question for those who have read this far is, how long did it take you to attain your GP items? So far I am at 55000GP and has taken me about 2 1/2 months. Yes, I have missed some days, but for the ones I check, I try my very hardest to get the item for the day. Including one day when I needed a Divine Sword, there wasn't a broadsword on any AH, so I gathered materials and took it to the manaburn area in Xarcabard (near jorm) to have a smithing friend craft it for me, so that I could use it for my GP item. Sad ; ;
As well, I have found some items, very difficult to hq, and was wondering how much success people have had with these items : Mamushito, Holy Shield, and Espadon.
So far I am 3/42 on mamushito hq's, 0/7 on Holy Shield hq's, and 0/36 on espadon hq's. All of which I tried on new or full moon both trying darksday as well as day crystal is weak to. Curious if this is normal success rate, or if perhaps luck is not on my side. For now I will stick with hawker's, as I seem to make a good amount of gil from that.
Thank you for listening, any question/comments are appreciated ^-^
