-Make defense potions I (25 per bunch).
-Then, go buy a defense pill I recipe off the npc. It'll last forever.
-Now, craft pills out of that... If you notice, it's in bunchs of 5... And the coagulant is dirt cheap... like 50 mesos.
If you do the math, it's 6 crafts out of 3 materials. Doing the math, that's half the ore cost! And it's hilarious to end up with thousands of useless pills. And thousands, LITERALLY. They stack at 800 each slot. Perfect if you want to spend less money.
good tip! i hadnt thought about doing anything with alchemy though since you get empathy/diligence on level ups, and will is much more useful than empathy. ive gotten my will from ~45 to 80 on my mech since the profession revamp, almost purely from unlearning and relearning mining. and now im doing that on my DS.
its too bad the required xp for mining/herbing was only cut in half and not quartered like craft/smith/alchemy
