- Focus on raising the Alchemist skill for your main crafter. Faize and Arumat are your go-to characters for this.
- Keep an eye on the required skill levels. You'll need to level up your characters' Alchemist skill to create the more advanced items.
- Gathering ingredients is key! Make sure you're picking up everything you can during exploration, especially gems and basic materials like Empty Bottles.
- Don't forget about Recipe Memos! These are crucial for unlocking new Alchemical creations.
- Some items, like the various 'stones' (Angelstone, Gnomestone, etc.), require Mithril, which itself needs to be Alchemized. Plan your crafting steps ahead!
- The 'Faerie' items are powerful buffs that require specific seeds and Sacrificial Dolls. These are great for boosting your party's stats significantly.
