| Post subject: | I think I'm going to do Alchemy |
So I was grinding out on Sheep last night (Not the Kayne sort of grinding, mind you), and I got so sick of watching my Weathered Cane go to yellow/red durability. It needs some Growth Formula Alpha in order to repair, so I looked it up, and it looks like it's an Alchemy recipe. I also noticed that Alchemists can make wands, which are also Conjurer weapons. So now I'm thinking that I'm going to work on trying to raise up Alchemy. Doesn't seem like it's a terribly popular crafting choice, either, so who knows if it could be beneficial to other people in the LS. I'll keep you posted on what I find. I'm trying to come up with a strategy for getting to around Rank 10+ in it. I have 100k gil in my pocket right now from selling Wind Shards to Gridanians, so I figure I might as well spend it on something. |

We should make a list of what crafts and things everyone is planning to do. We'll need a nice spread so everyone can get their gear repaired. A very popular choice seems to be being able to repair your own stuff. Right now that's making my choices Armorer (Plate Mail, Shields, etc) Blacksmith (Swords) and Miner (Materials for those two). Weaver will probably be very popular as a very large amount of gear so far seems cloth based. Carpenter can handle Archer and Lancer weapons. Alchemist seems to do the mage staffs. Leatherworker probably does things like shoes/gloves. Goldsmiths do a lot of the accessories, etc etc etc. Ultimately we'll need some of everything because SE seems to have done a good job at balancing what gear is fixed by what craft. |

I totally agree. We should come up with a list of we intend to do as crafts, as well as any tested ranking up recipe paths. There are a few compiled lists of recipes at this point, but not a real clear path on what to make. So I think Alchemy will be a lot of trail and error. In order to make the stuff for the Growth Formula, I need to start off with Botany, move to Carpentry, move to Tanning, and then finally on to Alchemy. And that's even supposing I can find Shriekshrooms. If any of you happen to see where those drop (Probably in Gridania?), let me know. In other news, Growth Formula Alpha will drop from those plant-like Roses in Limsa Lominsa area, so if you're really hurting for a repair of your cane, grind out on those and hope for a drop. |

Ridere, you will be everyone's crystal breaking bitch. :D I very much like botiny and that will probably be second to leveling lancer. I'm looking for a craft I'll enjoy that may be compllimentary to that. I hope SE never limits the ability to level all crafts to max rank. I think it would be a fun goal one day down the line to be a master craftsmen. |

I think you get Shriekshrooms from the Funguar littered outside Gridania. They're a pain to farm or level off of because of poison though. Not sure if there's a good spot for them. |

That sounds about right, Ket. I tried taking on one and died. I'll probably work on Thaum tonight, or maybe just keep going at Conjurer in the sheep area, farming up some more mats and crystals. And maybe by then, my Physical Level will be high enough to take on the easiest of the mushrooms without worrying too much. We'll have to see. I'm at Conj 10, Physical 11 or 12 now, I think. |
