    Yay for ironguards?
    I was early taught to work as well as play,
    My life has been one long, happy holiday;
    Full of work and full of play-
    I dropped the worry on the way-
    And God was good to me everyday.

    LOL....level 6 and your faction needs to hold 1k. But....Genie skill + Ironguard = Epic immunity and you still have movement. b:victory


    @OP

    If you level your Apoth skill, you can make pots of various types.

    People tend to buy them mid to higher level.

    I personally have never seen them be a profit....you would be better off selling the herbs imo.

    Link items? I assume your refering to buying items using a catshop. You need to have the item before using a catshop to buy more of them.

    What fun is that in buying potions when you can farm for them get extra exp, spirit and free potions while in the process. In addition, I find manufacturing herbs are more useful then the ones the npc's sell. b:chuckle

    I generally have to buy the materials to craft medicines. I really love apothecary meds since they're far stronger than normal. I've actually stopped buying spirit charms for my Wizard simply because the apothecary meds are so much more effective! With one Arctic Orb I can fill nearly my entire MP bar (I have around 10400 mp, orbs restore 9000) in a mere 30 seconds!

    Suffice to say I've never had a problem with running low on MP.

    The big problem is that the items required for some medicines are a royal pain in the backside to obtain at my level. Even at an impressive level 71, I find items like Tulips are often planted among very high level enemies. Many of which are so crowded up that it's nearly impossible to avoid getting their attention. And as a wizard, im rather fragile.

    There are a few safer spawn points, but after farming there for a good while (getting 2 each harvest out of 3 points takes AGES before you can craft even 1 set of meds) you soon realise that harvest points do not respawn in the same location. It varies. Sometimes this can place plants behind other objects, making them unmineable and unharvestable.

    For a faster way to level your skill (and an easier one) make charms instead. All it requires is chi stones, which can be obatained easily enough if you do other crafting (I always decompose the lousy equips and keep the stronger ones). You'll be level 5+ in no time flat.

    People don't seem to buy my life powders.

    But they do buy pots. (I undersell the apothecary slightly)

    They don't ever seem to but elixers (the hp+mp pots) don't know why not.

    Same reason you hear clerics saying they need a charm to BB.....
    Most people have no idea about apoc pots and how great they are.

    I mean, who would not like to a potion that makes them invincible for 10 seconds... how about getting a spark without having to use a single skill?
    Even better, regen 9k mps over 30 secs.. or 100 mp and HP per second for 5 minutes...
    About 75% damage reduction for 90 secs?
    Too often we loose sight of life's simple pleasures. Remember, when someone annoys you, it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, BUT, it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and slap that mother#$@%#^! upside the head.
