Recruit 11-20
Notes: I did a couple levels from poison dust then switched early into mercury and capped on it. From there I turned what I had in dust into potions. Finally finished off on some echo drops before moving onto the next bridge. You can also just spam the level 20 kit for a profit...
Yield: Poison Dust x 1
2 x Yellow Globe
Notes: Yellow globes area a good fish to skill up on for fishing. Will probably do this to level fishing for your cooking 90 test item anyways. Save the dust for potions.
Yield: Mercury x 1
Lightning Crystal, 4 x Cobalt Jellyfish
Notes: NPC sells cobalt jellyfish in bibiki bay for as low as 15g each. Mercury is used in a lot of crafts for alchemy.
Test Item
Yield: Poison Potion x 1
Water Crystal,1 x Mercury, 1 x Poison Dust
Notes: Time to put that dust and mercury into use and craft some of these bad boys. You can buy the dust from npc if needed.
Yield: Coffee Powder x 1
Wind Crystal, 1 x Roast Coffee Beans
Notes: If you started this synth skill up line via cooking then now is the time to use up for roasted coffee beans
Yield: Echo Drops x 1
Water Crystal, 1 x Distilled Water, 1 x Honey, 1 x Sage
Notes: This item has 100% saved me and a team from wipes multiple times in my XI career. The honey is the only item that might be an issue. I'd focus at least making a few stacks for yourself if you play a job that uses magic.
Yield: Hushed Baghnakhs x 1
1 x Alchemy Kit 20
Notes: These currently sell for more than you buy them making it a pure profit synth off water crystals. I wouldn't be surprised if this gets nerfed and personally didn't rely on them.
