Pristine's Potion Pursuit (5mil progress)

okay but like

of all things

why earth boxing :sob:

also does this mean metal boxing is usable?

(I’ve seen metal thermo gameplay btw and HOLY SHIT I need me some of that searing metal action fr)

Yes, and presumably better than Earth + Boxing? I’m not entirely sure, but the Bleed and self-synergy are probably pretty nice.

I might make a metal warlock for the dark sea ngl it seems really scary since the size + damage synergy sounds devastating as a combo

also I hope we get magic change potions in the dark sea

3mil.

4 million Brewing XP is next up. After that, 5 million XP will be my biggest milestone yet. Statistically, 5 million XP (or a little below) is around the interval where my efforts even out with 2 million Cooking.

Yes, I did the math. The most efficient dish to cook for leveling Cooking has ingredient efficiency of 18.75 XP per individual ingredient. My potions, which take one reagent and two catalysts, have ingredient efficiency of ~33.3 XP per individual ingredient. Furthermore, Cooking takes five keystrokes per meal cooked, whilst Brewing takes only three. However, it should be noted that Brewing is much more vulnerable to memory leakage (the max speed at which you can brew begins to deteriorate very rapidly once ~200+ potions have been brewed).

TLDR: Sure as hell ain’t deserving of Master Brewer just yet, but that ain’t stopping me. The brewing never stops.

Current goal is 4 million XP by mid-September, when I presume Darksea will release. Taking a break for a few days for now.

You’re still a master brewer in my heart.

damn going for 4 million exp

Arly and I are already planning on commissioning an art piece if / when I get Master Brewer, of the two of us as well as whoever gets Master Jeweler (either Selectorch or maybe Jetex? Either way, I don’t think either has passed a million yet, doubtful it’ll be done by Darksea).

Shit’ll be beautiful.

Oh it’ll be absolutely amazing.

Also, I never apologized for dragging you into that random ass sequel-suggestion post about you getting master brewer.

So, what kinda ingredients do you need to be donated for the best EXP gain?

Not your fault at all broski, I appreciate it. I get a lot of people think of me as playing second-fiddle to arly, but me and him are good pals. Keeping each other motivated as we keep going. I just think I didn’t really deserve it at 2mil, is all.

I appreciate all concessions, but no need to empty your pockets for me. I’d be more than happy to compensate with Galleons or any other scrolls, items, etc. you could want for 'em. My brews are very simple; cheap reagent, two common catalysts. Askew roots, bones, seaweed and glass bottles are my most common XP brews.

someone already reached a mil

Well I still feel bad because it just devolved into stupidity and I just kinda didn’t do anything about that.

Anyway, if I can catch you online, I have plenty of potion ingredients I will never go through.

Holy hell, didn’t even see that one.

Sorry, somehow completely missed this earlier? Not exactly sure how, my apologies. Was fishing with arly for two or so hours, I’m still in the server trying to finish off this Luck cauldron if you’re on right now. No worries if not, my schedule for tomorrow is just about dead open.

Man, at this point you could setup a potion shop as well hehe. Just curious though, how many bleeding potions you got

Also

Just switched to this as well fairly recently to practice direct hit crashes, it is hella fun to have incredibly reliable rushdowns. Damage aint that bad either.

I’ve considered it, but most of the good stuff I brew just goes off to buddies or people who ask nicely.

Blundered with 'em a little bit. I have about 47 Tier III Bleeding Novas, which is great, but I blew a ton of shark teeth during the race to 2 million XP, leaving me with a few hundred Tier I Bleeding Vials that I’m never gunna use.

Love me some direct crashes. Always nice, especially when you’re on 20% size. Boxing’s Rushdown scared the hell of out of me the first time I used it. Didn’t expect it to take me that far at all.

on a non-brewing note, swapped to Earth + Basic and I’m having a pretty good time with it.

So close yet so far.

Seeing you change fighting styles again makes me wonder what your favorite fs is with earth magic. I have a feeling it’s earth thermo but that suffers from the warlock memory leak terribly.
