Alchemy 210-231 and Beyond...

[Slowz]

I've done Alchemy to 210 using the standard path with Skinspikes/Wolf V potions.

I did 210-230 with Worked Suspension of Slime VII's (requires some Pottery skills about 50ish, so I just banged that skill out to like 120)

Now from 230 onwards is the only real viable path to 300 to use Nodding Blue Lily? I've calculated my average success rate to be ~37% at my current level and skill ups will occur at ~3.6%. So I'm guessing I'll need somewhere on the order of 2000 Nodding Blue Lily if I go this route.

There are other, the suggested path is you farm deepwater ink (lower trival, 302 I think) There are other farmable stuff but there are no vendor path beyond 230

i did inks and NBLs from 230 to 300. just bought them in mass when i saw them in the bazaar (about 100K worth at 50 each) and i have some left over and am about breaking even on the plat. also know a few people that were farming PoWater for their PoP class weapon so they were giving me all the inks they were getting

The supply might depend on what server you play on, but with Droga being hot zone there is a reasonable supply of Hearty Goblin Blood in bazaar and on vendors if you vendor dive. It makes stat/resist buff potions. Trivial range is 188 to 263.

after that,the new DS potions is a nice and easy option.
if you got mastery AAs + salvage (or lot of pp),then augs with effect.
can get you to 300 and make a profit at the same time.
