Alchemy Recipes

Hrm.

 Spoiler

I love the idea of Maker and the idea of making items with incredible stats clean, but a lot of this is so full of hassles. The only way I can possibly see getting enough Monster Crystals for one item (since it's 100 each crystal) is to either have some kind of AoE attack that's constantly spamming or if you just sat there and disassembled other equips over and over.

Not to mention the only real good stat-giving Crystals are the Power/DEX/LUK/Wisdom ones and to make just ONE Advance you have to have 100 regular fully-refined Power Crystals or you doomed to buying the inflated prices. So poor people (such as myself) luck out either way. Don't really like that.

Also, can you disassemble any equips for Monster Crystals (except for Common class, I know)? Because I tried to disassemble a 1H Sword (level 45) on my Marauder and it wouldn't let me, but it let me disassemble the level 80 Pirate overall just fine.

1) If it were easy the market would be absolutely flooded and everything would devalue.

2a) Diamond and Sapphire are also valuable, topaz is valuable for HP gear. Opla for avoid, Garnet for Accuracy. for people making specifically targeted gear you can get very flexible.

2b) You can easily succeed in getting an advanced crystal in your first 10 tries. Just because it's a 1 in 100 probability doesn't mean you have to go through 100 to get to it. Even if you do process 100, you can then reprocess the ones you've processed to create more. I get about 5 adv per 100 of most things.

C) has to be above level 50.
