I am level 3 in alchemy and hoping to level up without having to spend much. I get philosopher's caches in dumpster dive all the time. What formulas rely strictly on philosopher's caches or cheap items that I can use to level up?
It would take some time, but there's level 2 components which would only rely on components. Since they are one level lower, you shouldn't fail too much.
any specific recommendations though-I am looking to identify what level 2 and 3 formulas I can do that would not require me to buy too many items-I can afford the crafting gold but not the craziness of prices on the MP.
Did you check
Lei's other thread?
On the second page, from Formula 2: Hexed Leather to Formula 2: Minotaur Horn are components formulas which are needing ONLY components coming from Philosopher's cache (some of them might be directly sold in Bifrost too). Some of them are more useful than others obviously. That said, if you scroll down the page of each level, you will see some suggestions from Lei. Otherwise, sometimes it really depends on what you already own in your inventory; if you happen to have some unused items which are used in some formulas, it could help you

Edit: Item-wise, feel free to do them on the same level; component-wise (ie. those with low crafting success), it's best to do them 1 level lower than you are to reduce fail-rate if you don't want to spend too much gold.
