Do you have to level up? Forgive me but I've been away for a couple years.
Back in the day, my wife ( Mystic Cannabinoid ) made a À la Fondue via alchemy, but it was only b/c she bought the recipe on the Marketplace for cheap, like 1000g. She got the items ( through great difficulty ) and crafted the item. She never completed any other recipes or "leveled up" in alchemy before crafting it.
From the Marketplace listing of the recipe, the tiny little 4 on the bottom of the scroll leads me to believe you must be Level 4...or have completed 3 other recipes first...I have no idea...
Do you need to Level Up? Or is that just a process by which the Alchemy system provides you the next recipe after completing the prerequisite recipe?
