xep, what do you think about pebble soup. the materials are much cheaper (if you farm the flints yerself) and you can raise to 5?

Hey Solaran! Good of you to grace my thread.

Alura: Sorry to hear that. As the old saying goes, time is money. So patients pays off. Except for few of the syns that are profitable selling to NPCs, most of the product should be sold either over AH or through Bazaar. Trying to rush things tend to be costly.

But hang in there. Do it just couple of lvls a day, and sell the products using your mules. You'll be fine.

Also, I know that some days/moon are better for syn than others. So far I haven't really bothered to look it up. Others can feel free to chime in on this topic. I don't really know enough to comment on that aspect.

Wow i lost 8k just getting to lvl 3 with carrot broth. I used 16 stacks of carrots and 4 water clusters. I had very few failures but skill ups were slow. Also since i was in rabao and hadn't a mule in jeuno i had to sell back to the vendors there for 14gil a piece. I started out with 75k and figured i could get to lvl 40 no problem but now it's not looking so good all i want is some pineapple juice! *crys*

[Solaran]

good work xep

[Haruko the Alie]

here's some of the ones i used for leveling cooking. Keep in mind my goal was speed over profit and i hunted clusters so my crystal cost was always 0.

15-20 apple juice: 4x faerie apple + water crystal

25-30 pineapple juice: 2x kazham pineaple + water crystal

36-41 tomato juice: 3x mithran tomato + rock salt + water crystal

46-50 grape juice: 4x sand'or grape + dark crystal
50-56 mulsum: grape juice + honey + distlled water + ice crystal
56-61 stone cheese: selbina milk + rock salt + dark crystal
61-66 colorful egg: lizard egg + sand'or carrot + la thein cabbage + distilled water + fire crystal
66-70 sand'or tea: distilled water + maple sugar + selbina milk + sage + windurstian tea leaves + fire crystal

after this it starts geting very expensive

carrot broth

Buy the carrot from S.Sandoria vendor, it's most likely cheaper than the Guild. Luckly, you aren't required to make many of them. Making 3 stacks of them would raise you to lvl 3 when you can do orange juice or sliced sardine.

So sell it in the AH, it does take time, but you lose less money that way. I sold my 3 stacks over 1 night at Jeuno AH. Yes, it's risky since it cost 500 to put it on there. But since it was the weekend, and mine were the only ones there (I guess everyone thought it wasn't worth selling).... so i risked it and sold it fast at 2000 per stack, and made money in the process.

[neighbortaru]

um, quick question, how much do the carrots regularly go for? On my server they are going for 33 a pop. The end broth only sells for 14gil a pop at NPCs so it's loosing me quite a bit (selling in AH is not good, carrot broth is not in high demand).

Geez, I'm only 4 now, but my orange juices are failing like crazy. Like 90% of the time. Bye bye gil

24 synths > 2 success, rest was failed..not even 0.1 cooking skill up (yes, i did the lvl 20 cap and it wasnt blue).
even asked for that cooking-skill-up.

I did it perfectly fine, with LOADS of profit, with adv image support (the kind you pay the little taru at the guild for, not the free one). Worked and made me lots of money all the way up to 29 =)

I have some more stuff to add on to you small guide, just some easy ways to make gill after you get the lvl needed. When you can make insect paste 100% of teh time, this strat is very helpful. Go to sandoria, when you ahve a day or 2 to spare (real life) and then go to the Port Sandoria AH. Buy the ingredents (i know, cheaper in Wind, but the paste sells alot faster in Sandy). Synth 12 stacks, put 7 up for auction, get some more ingredents, syth, send to another mule in sandy if you have one, then replenish any that have been already sold, then go fish right in the ports. After using 1-2 stacks of paste, most of your pastes have sold, go back and replenish when needed.

You can make some money really fast this way, also, every now and then you will get a stack of moat carp wich sell for about 4k on my server (Ramuh). This is good to do if you have time, and you will get some money.

Also if you dont want to fish, you can cook other things while you wait for your paste to sell to get your level up. Not as effective money maker but it will get your skill up ^^. Good luck and have fun cooking!
