I'm a level three and am not getting anywhere fast emo
I want back wings so bad but the gold it costs makes my heart break.

I know. It sure takes a lot of gold to level up. I made a lot of Fausto's Bottles in level 3. They're super easy to make. Try that. Also, you should definitely visit Alchemy Charity! Its a thread full of wonderful and amazing people who give great advice and often donate. Good luck to you. You're welcome to hang out here, as well.

I'll check into the Fausto's bottle, thanks!
I'll definitely take a stop by 3nodding

Awesome! Read through the first couple of posts on their forum. And make sure you say thanks if you get a donation, or they'll frown on donating to you again.

Yeah I saw that post with all the hearts and donating stuff. I'll give it a second read to make sure I got it all.

Alchemy is friggin' crazy. Not only do you pour in all your gold on buying the outrageously expensive components, but some of the formulas require you to craft components that are higher than your level! For example, the level 4 formula, Deluxe Bone Mask. It requires an Ogre Bone, which is only available through crafting one OR finding one pre-crafted on the MP. Uhhh... Ogre Bone is a LEVEL SIX formula!!!! How can a level 4 make this??? Simply, it can't be done. You have to contract it out or buy it from the MP. Such a ripoff. Did Gaia even think about that before they made it that way? Its just adding more frustration to an already frustrating situation.
