Level Alchemy to Level 21

viperdvman

How does one level their Alchemy up to Level 21? Alchemical Research doesn't even show up in my list of profession tasks for Level 20, and only Rank 20 Experimentation shows up.

Do the experiments until you get 3 rank 20 recipes and you'll be able to research.

I'll have to start doing that and see if it Alchemical Research comes up... by transferring those pots over from my main (since you can only use one buffing pot at a time now, which really sucks).

I've made it to level 24 with surprising ease.

The experiments only use 1 aqua regia instead of 2, so it's not as much of a resource hog.

Did 10 experiments, not a single recipe so far And it use 2 aqua regia and not 1.

The fun part is when you get to level 25 and realise you still have to do yet more experimentation to find out how to turn lead into gol....sorry Elemental Aggregate into Unified Elements. I have only done three or four so far which have added two more Level 25 Common Tasks but I think the all important one will be number five, so I still have some work to do.

I got to 25 late last night and had just started it the day before from 20. Went real quick but of course I have 4 purples so it helped it go by real fast. I also paid AD to speed up the XP task twice.

How many experiments did you make to lvl up to 21, zeb?

The first one I got on the third experiment. In total from rank 20 to 25, around 20-25 experiment tasks I do believe. I forgot to keep track and lost count after 10. I worked the experiment task with a purple while I was out leveling, so it took 6 minutes per task. I rushed many of them with AD also.

HAMSTER, I did 10, all from Gateway, zero receipts. Bugged?

Nah, going from 1-20 a while back I had long streaks of no scrolls. I don't have a second character at level 20 to see how they go from 20-25 though to base how fast Old Zeb leveled his. Don't give up! You'll get scrolls eventually. Level it while you're playing/leveling as it makes the wait feel non-existent. The only times I rushed things was when I was waiting for the hourlies to reset, heh.

Make ten tons of Aqua Vitae, and then refine to Aqua Regia. Meanwhiles, save all the potions possible that you loot.

Okay, maybe not "ten tons" but 2 Aqua Vitae = 1 Aqua Regia so plenty is needed.

A minimum estimate is 5 ranks to go X 3 recipies per rank = 15 recipies needed 2 AV = 1 AR so 15 x 2 = 30 AV minimum.

{Prepping for mod 6 allowed me to rank up from 20 - 25 in a week, and yes I have some epic assets I'd managed to get over the 2+ years I've been on NWO.
