Talk:Alchemy Guide by Paitre

Gradual Comments
I'm on my third run through Alchemy, and while I like this guide a lot, the Mercury part is a little flawed. Where I understand getting out of Mercury range as quickly as possible, I've never had 6-7 stacks of Mercury by skill 14. Even if I capped out the recipe at 16, I wouldn't have 6 or 7 stacks. Usually, I have 4 or so.

On a positive side of that, though, Mercury is very cheap on my server now. It's 5-5.5k, which seems pricey until you look at the price of lightning crystals and Cobalts, which are normally a total of 4-5k to buy everything, even if you buy from vendors. So if you don't mind spending an extra 500g, you can just buy enough mercury after getting to 14 to round out the guide. --Baroness 22:19, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
