Twinkle Showers?
My alchemy level is currently 20, and I mainly got into Alchemy for the fireworks
I was wondering if Making Twinkle showers would help raise my Alchemy level? It seems to be pretty cheap as long as I go to the appropiate npcs but I want to make sure its a good choice before I start making a bunch of them

Thank you

twinking shower caps 25 so yes you can gain skill from it.

transform a yellow spot into the sun.

I don't mind them though. They are kind of understated.

Plus, it doesn't really matter if the OP is just making them for skill.

you missed out, i made a few metric tons of ouka raman (sp?) and npc'd most of it because 1 or 2 stacks selling a day for next to nothing means very little when it'd take roughly 1/2 a month or more to sell what I had assuming no competition.



Teh Jobs - 75- nin (I spend more time at 74 =P ) / 50-pld / 55-thf (currently leveling)/ 48-rdm / 43-war / 43-rng / 35-brd / 37-blm /34-whm / 20-sam / 16-mnk
Teh crafts 81 Alchemy / 59 Woodcraft / 51 Cooking

Firesand on Remora is a profit synth without HQ (though not tons and tons of profit). Maybe you can find someone who would otherwise be skilling up on Prism Powders and work out some kind of arrangement.

As someone who is skilling up on Prism Powders, and only doing so when I can buy cheap Goblin Masks, I would be all over that arrangement. But I'm probably weird, what with the patience and stuff.

Or a high-level Alchemist to make a deal with. Note: Firesand is still not "cheap." Assuming no HQ, you're looking at around 10-12k per stack, depending on Bastok fame for the NPCs that sell the ingredients and the price of Earth Crystals.



Ellipses on Fenrir
There is no rush. If you're not willing to take your time, don't be surprised when no one wants to give you much of theirs.

If I were on Remora I'd totally hook you up with Goblin Masks (I find a lot of them). Although I might ask for the occasional stack of prism powders in return.

Or I could, you know, work on Alchemy, like I've been saying I will for months.
