Which alchemy lvl did u have ? Iam now at master 1 on ps4

[@ArantyrDarkhand]

Try to mak e a descent destruction... its impossible fail like 30 times each day. They should show the chance and have a fail stack.

[@MClaudeW]

Chill intro music, calm approach. Thoughtful content. Clear spoken. I'm just starting my alchemy stuff. Thanks for the breakdown.

[@Xslye]

MClaudeW you’re welcome!

[@ricktyrabidz1172]

Honestly its old as of now but very useful, its simple and straight foward, clear loud speaker's voice etc etc just over all great video much appreciated usually dont sub to literally anyone but you surely earned my sub.

[@Alex-gn6ii]

Glad I stumbled on to this. I just might have to change a couple of my fences to some fruits and do a few life stone upgrade attempts on the side for some extra money.

[@elfire5381]

Very glad you’re back David. You’re videos are very in depth. Only thing I saw was missing was you can grind down the disposable alchemy stones for recharge material.

[@Xslye]

Welcome back!

[@satokhantv]

Welcome back man !!

[@Xslye]

You a real G man 👊🏼 thanks it’s gud to be back

[@nedbear1970]

It would have been good to actually see you enhance alchemy stones with commentary to see how it works in action and what to strive for

[@Xslye]

I do have a video like that. It’s an older alchemy stone video but still relevant. If you want

[@reyandrewruelos3262]

Hello David, do you mind sharing the spreadsheet? Thanks man. your vids are always of great help

[@c.s.wilson6584]

I ve gt tns of plywood and special sweet potatoes. I had mods lywood long ago but never knew what could be used for. I just got a alchemy outfit for my Shai . How should start this ?. Life stones I heard you say the % s. Give me a idea of a list of materials needed . Let's say I have a goal to make two bill in 1 month

[@GamingNormaly]

How do I make a stone? Or just buy a weak one?

Woooooooo david is back , i support you bro

[@topshelf6073]

So I need a stone for fishing,gathering,processing and cooking would the blue life spirit stone be better than the blue sturdy Alchemy stone of life? Would appreciate the help thanks.

[@Xslye]

It’s fine to use, spirit stones are great replacements

[@Grizz0212]

Do you start at imperfect stones and go up from there?

[@Xslye]

yes

[@Triumvirately]

Stones seem like a late game endeavor

[@AlwaysEast]

Nah, beyond Sharp, ye. You can craft a sharp for 1-1.5b easy. Resplendent is like 31.4b at 30k per special strawberry. My math might be bad though, it might be way less.

[@ryankuster4443]

I don't understand on the spreadsheet what does the stones used mean is it like jewelry where you need another alchemy stone to enhance?

[@Xslye]

Nah stones used is weapon stones

[@travisterry1901]

They should really add a fail buffer to making alchemy stones... like the cron stones are for high level gear... more people would try out alchemy if they didn't feel like it was so time consuming and risky.

[@พัสกรนาวงษ์]

From that you said colour>grade then after what grade that I should restart if I dont get a yellow colour to make I dont waste money

[@Xslye]

if it goes blue with a low tier... restart

[@Shamlaleon]

first time upgrading a stone, would like to know if im doing anything wrong. Im upgrading a polished stone of life at 80% exp. currently at 75 attempts with no success. is it just bad rng?

[@Xslye]

Bad rng

[@redx1170]

There's seems to be missing information, any chance you have a site that I can read? I'm confused with what level you have to be, what ingredients for the blood, how to get those ingredients? What is the difference from alchemy stone and spirit stone?

[@Xslye]

I have 3 videos on this. You can always join the discord.

[@superherofreggel3340]

Nice in-depth guide! Thanks for sharing those informations, i think im gonna start with it tommorow, do you have any tips or things i should pay attention on? Sadly i dont have near 1 billion or so. but i could invest with 120mio hmmm :/

[@Xslye]

I probably wouldnt start without more silver...

[@superherofreggel3340]

@@Xslye ok sadlife pepehands xdddd

[@shawnvillegas3181]

how do you repair the stones?

[@Xslye]

you use bloods

[@yautja111]

Do you keep going with rough green stones or do you get rid of those?

[@Xslye]

Nrin I restart

[@jameswilson1227]

So going full one with this via console. You upgrade from white imperfect. If it downgrade to rough blue or imperfect blue start over? Is that how you used so many stones?

[@Xslye]

It can’t downgrade in colour only tier once it’s sturdy +

[@christof5156]

Could you do a in depth guide on Alchemy? Great video! Very informational!

[@Xslye]

I have a few! Check them out

[@day8366]

I watched this, tried polishing it. (Blue Sturdy) and it failed, went down to Polished and failed 18 more times and didnt move. So i dont know but it seems like its more then a 40% chance of failing. just a heads up.

[@Xslye]

You can’t have a 40% chance to fail on stone that doesn’t downgrade. The 40% chance is to downgrade...there’s a 94% chance to fail as mentioned in the video. I would definitely know as I’ve had over 30,000 attempts. If I had come out to 40% chance to fail...my successes would be a lot higher than what they were.

[@RedzicMuharem]

very detailed and well explained, nice

[@AlwaysEast]

Lol, 6.5k per special strawberry, imagine that. Now they're around 30k each on EU.

[@Xslye]

Yeah game was so diff back 3 years ago

[@alohasnackbar9298]

Hey man I started BDO recently and want to get into alchemy do u have any videos or would u recommend any guides to start alchemy

[@Xslye]

I have any alchemy playlist that would be a great listen

[@shmatic9665]

Great video! I just didn't get a thing... What grade and color do you start upgrading at? Imperfect yellow? Also you have to account for the price of the stone you work on when calculating profit. :) I might have missed that ... Anyway thanks for the video. I'm new to BDO and your videos are helpful. Edit: I might've found the answer...

[@Xslye]

If you can buy an imperfect yellow sure. If not start from scratch. I accounted everything into the cost because I don’t buy my stones...

[@l3ourbon]

alchemy master lvl is needed?

[@Xslye]

Apprentice but I’ve found the higher your level, the possible chance increases

[@l3ourbon]

@@Xslye significantly?

[@Xslye]

It’s all just tin foil. I’m not sure if anyone else has information on it but as of late I’d say either I have good rng or my level comes into play.

[@bas2085]

What font do you use?

[@Xslye]

roboto?

[@phamdat5328]

My RNG is just too bad, I've tried like 30-40 attempts to get back my 270m Sturdy Alchemy Stone of Life but all of them failed. I should've just bought straightly from the market tho

[@Xslye]

Oh jeez. Buying is good too at this point.

[@phamdat5328]

@@Xslye Can’t really tell that my RNG is that bad cuz I just 1 tapped Tet Manos Gatherer’s Clothes yesterday. Unfortunately, today isn't yesterday :(

[@CZ2_Delta]

From time to time I do grow Destruction Stones for money, I mostly use Platinum Crystals (I buy the ores in large quantities and process it to crystals). Are you saying in your video that Lead and Iron Ingots would be more efficient than those? I'll need to look into it. Also you probably answered that question in the video somewhere but when you say you made 2 yellow sharps, where do you start from? The previous form or from scratch? TY for the video very informative!

[@Xslye]

I always make stones from scratch correct. Goodluck on your findings :D

[@idirbelaid2837]

back to BDO, huh, nice nice !! still playing archage ? just curious. 6 Bil, HOT DAAM !! do you a think it's a pursuable endeavor to make money ?

[@Xslye]

I don’t play any games much really. Lol school is starting again

[@Xslye]

I think so. $6 bil was only in life stones. Including the protection and destruction, most likely around 9bil total.
