Heya Amun!

I'm with Grimrose on the variety answer. I stock lots of different potions and levels of potions. But the ones that I can't keep in stock very long:

Philter of Major Translocation - 175pp
Distillate of Skinspikes X - 700pp (!! I know it's pricey on Maelin, but Powder of Ro is selling for 400 - 900pp in baz)

distillate of skinspkes vi @ 150p ea
philter of ulon's impunity @ 12p ea
philter of faerune @15p ea
philter of wolf v @11p ea

Is there an extra zero on those skinspikes, Lil? If I tried to sell skinspikes VI at that price, I would be undercut by about 130pp by other vendors.

I was thinking the same thing.. on fennin level 6 runs 8-9p.

[bazile leaf]

on the xeogny server:

the X pots (celestial healing, divine healing, etc)
dye vials (i know it's alchemy and brewing, but hey, they sell quick)


as for stuff i make on the side for people- most of the time i'm asked to make skinspikes, augments, distillate of immunization, gate pots, bone field port pots (still trying to figure that one out) and quintessence of knowledge.

[Donbayne]

On Stromm it's impossible to find VII potions for my 54 shadowknight.
Skinspikes VI goes for ~10p.

Thankfully the TSS expansion has enough cash drops that I can afford to buy
the clarity, healing and haste from NPC vendors.

7th Hammer

Philter of the wolf - any level will sell
Gate potions - if priced at the same or near competition, will sell
X potions - depends on the amount being sold and prices by other people
Skinspikes X - can't keep stocked because it sells too quick when I make them (haven't been making as many to sell since the powder of ro's have been missing from the baz lately or WAY overpriced)


I guess a better list would be for potions that don't sell lol. Ones that I still have on my trader that I made for various reasons: Philter of the Hawk's Eye (can't get rid of these even at 5pp a shot, which I made before they required powder of Ro), and potions that increase one stat or another (i.e. STR or resistance to something). I've personally used the random potions for my lowbie toons just cuz I can't buff them myself since they are on the same account as Shammy. Not really sure why they don't sell, but I know some things just won't sell in the Bazaar no matter the price.

On E-Marr, the potion market is completely glutted. You'd be lucky to make cost on any of the potions that actually have a demand (Skinspikes VI, WolfV, Gate, Clarity X, HoT X).

Anything with totally vendor purchased ingredients is completely flooded with everyone and their eight year old cousin having a shammy toon these days. Anything easy to farm is glutted too. This means the NBL potions. About the only ones that aren't are the Powder of Ro potions, and those are generally not good sellers because for the price you're likely to pay, you can just buy them from the potion vendor for cheaper than in the bazaar.

So if you're looking to make a quick buck, alchemy is not your choice.

[Amun Rhah]

Glad to see there's some activity in this forum

I have a few steady customers for Alacrity IX - 19pp each or 100 for 1700pp. Thats the cheapest price on my server usually unless someone has a few they are just trying to get rid of. Skinspikes VI i sell at 9pp a peice and move them fairly quickly. I havent been doing alot of baz selling lately since i've been working on getting to 300 alchemy.. I've been buying up all the deepwater ink - 75pp each, robust shadow essence - up to 200pp each or more(i dont pay more than 200) and nodding blue lillies - 50-100pp each (harder to find usually). So if your on Maelin and want to dump any of those ingredients let me know my name is Amun LoL. Those are the only 2 potions that i usually sell though on a regular basis.

Here's an idea:

1) level up a druid to 40. Max out his Foraging. Get him to DL (just port). Forage NBL's to your heart's content.

2) Level yourself up to around 65+. Farm GE for plat, AAXP, and Robust Shadow Essences.

3) all the money you save on not having to purchase ingredients can be used to fund even more combines.

If you're looking to make cash, that's pretty much the easiest way. Leveling up a Dr00d, particularly if you don't care about skills other than forage, is not difficult. Give him access to Skinspike VI and the lowbie Clarity and Heal over Time potions and let him thorn-tank in OT from 25-35, Then quad-kite over in Velious until you hit 40. Much easier than leveling up your shammy, particularly because you can bankroll your Druid with decent wis gear so he has a good mana pool and skillup chance.

[Amun Rhah]

Question though, cause i have been thinking about the NBL's alot. Is it a smart idea to work on combines when the trivial is over 100 skill points away? Im at 246 alchemy now, and the triv for the NBL combines are 348. So is it a smart idea for me to do those combines? My wis is maxed at 255 right now so i have the best chance for my lvl i suppose. Plus i have my expert alchemist trophy with +8% to my alchemy.

Another question. I have 2 accounts, so im thinking i could PL this druid. Thing is, i dont know what the best way to PL him would be. See i dont know ALL the hotzones or any form of strategy for PLing my own toons. I have a 53 druid on Druzzil Ro that i was thinking of bringing over to Maelin with my 54 monk on the same server. But that costs money i just dont have at the moment. So, with my 55 shammy, what would be the best way to PL this druid? I'd really only be using him to help farm those ingredients so his skills besides foraging arent going to be too much to worry about.

[Rinikku]

Honestly it doesn't take much to PL these days. Make ur drood some lowbie skinspike potions and then buff him up good. You can keep shammy around to spot heal but the heal potions work fine also. Best zones I've used to level up: Tutorial until around 10, Kurn's til 15ish, then PC til 20ish, then NL/MS/DSP until you don't like the zones anymore, then Overthere up to 35ish, DL is good for around 40 and you can forage the lilys there. You can probably skip some of those zones but those are the ones I recommend even if you are just soloing the druid. As far as the potions go, you probably will have to make them yourself since it seems like people don't sell those to often in the bazaar; however, you might be lucky on your server. Once you get the druid up to fighting in DL you can forage until your heart's continent, but I must say that the forage rate there is pretty slow so you might want to kite while doing it to pass the time away. If you get him up to mid-40s you could go farm in seb too, which seems to be a slightly quicker way to get the lilys. Or if you don't want to make a druid, just take shammy to seb, lol.

In a word: No. With a lower chance of success is a lower chance of skillups. I'd suggest leveling your shammy up to around 60-65 then heading into Grieg's End to farm Robust Shadow Essences. Then you can do Skinspikes VIII which trivs at 262. Not only will this get you over the 250 mark and get your trophy evolved more, it will also have a much greater chance of success and thus skill up, and you can sell the results in the bazaar fairly regularly.

From there, you have a couple of options:

1) continue doing Robust Shadow Essences, and crank out Distillate of Comprehension VIII

2) Go to CT and farm Robust Lizardman Blood for Distillate of Antidote/Immunization/Regeneration VIII

I know Antidote8 was really really useful for me back when we were farming Tacvi. Several of the mobs had an AE with like 32 poison counters that had an obnoxious DoT and Slow component, and not everyone was able to have a pocket druid, shammy, or cleric to spam cure for them. So it may or may not sell well. I know Regen 8 will probably sell well, and so will the Comprehension 8 for when they can't get KEI.

From there, you can do NBL potions to your heart's content.

PLing a druid is easy. Getting it to 25 is rediculously easy, then just keep it supplied with Skinspikes VI, keep it's thorncoat and shield of thorns up, and keep regen spells on it. It'll never get under 50% health and will be nasty. For real fun, you can group with it temporarily to give it the lowbie version of Spirit of the Panther so it has an insane proc when it hits. Once ya get your AE Snare and some of your nastier DoT's, you won't need to worry about PLing him anymore, he could probably PL your shammy. Just start quad-kiting in a level-appropriate zone.

Just to let you know the zones that seem to work best:

1-10: Tutorial. Yes, I'm serious. This place has the best xp mod of any zone in the game.

11-25: PC. Start out Vah Shir side, go play with the Fiends, work your way over to the Bandit camps as you gain in levels. Once your Druid gets a PBAE, this gets easier. Most of your damage will be done with your DS, you just need to damage them all, then just train-kill.

26-35: OT. Rinse, wash, repeat

36-40: Velious, for Quad-Kiting.
