General way and cost to GM alchemy on a new char. - 09-26-2007, 06:04 AM

This should probably get moved to the guides section.

Anyways I was making another new character with alchy (for like 8th time) and this time I decided to see how much it actually costs me in regents and how many kegs I would have when i was done to sell (to offset the price of the regs) or which I will be doing, saving for pvp.

Now I only make useful kegs. Some people say to make poison kegs cuz niteshade is cheap and not much use for anything else but i like to make kegs im actually gona use or people are actually gona buy if not.

Anyways heres my order at which skill level I switched the type of keg, amount of kegs made and regents used.

Also I always finish a full keg before switching to the next

50.0-55.7 1 Total refresh keg 835 black pearl
55.7-67.0 1 Greater Agility keg 504 Bloodmoss
67.0-74.7 2 Greater Strength kegs 1770 Mandrake root
74.7-86.2 4 Greater Heal Kegs 5476 Gingsing
86.2-100.0 5 Greater explode kegs 9110 Sulphur
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Total cost of regs at faction vendor price 38068 gold (pretty cheap imo)

now lets look at how much this would cost if I sold all the kegs i made training alchemy

1 Total refresh @ 5000 gp/keg=5000gp
1 Greater agility @ 4000 gp/keg=4000gp
2 Greater Strength @ 4000gp/keg=8000gp
4 Greater heal @ 5500gp/kg=22000gp
5 Greater explode @ 7500gp/keg=37500gp
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total if kegs sold =76500gp (wow)

76500 (worth of kegs) - 38068 (cost of regs) = 38432 PROFIT plus you get a gm alchy!!!!

So as you can see if you use this method to train alchy on a new char you will end up doubling the amount of money you put into training it (if you sell the kegs)

NOT TOO SHABBY EH?

Misc. stats.

Total mortar and pestles used = 23 Gm tinker made (probably about 70 if using store bought mortars)

Total stats gained= 0 str, 21 dex, 21 int

Total time : 2hours 13 minutes

*** please note this was all done on a brand new character starting with 50 alchemy and 50 magery training alchemy as the first skill. The amount of resources consumed will be much higher if you do not train it first.

Poisons aren't useless. DP kegs can go for a good bit of gold. I'm not 100% sure on the price for such things, but I know poisoners will buy a full keg of DP poisons for a nice price.

the other kegs are still 10 times easier to find a buyer for. But yes you can sell deadly poison kegs for about 20k a pop.

Not a bad cost for useful kegs being made. I did poisons on mine but I used them to GM a poisoner as well.

Very nice.

I wish more people would take time to come up with details like this.

If patches ever affect this, please update it!

Did you take into account the cost of the kegs? I know that it won't be MUCH different but it would change the profit gained.


"Shephards we shall be, for thee my lord for thee. Power hath descended forth from thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti."
