i envy your lv10 status.. but congrats! : D
Is a long road and expensive, but not as hard as others have made it out to be if you concentrate on gaining XP rather than crafting what you'd like to keep.
Summary from my
alchemy shop thread:
Time from Level 1 to Level 10:
4-1/2 months (Sept. 17, 2011 to Jan. 29, 2012)
Total cost of formulas crafted for self and others:
67,467,509
Income from selling the items crafted:
19,615,299
Net cost of crafting formulas:
47,852,210
Additional income from Orb Aggregates, Golden Magical Giftboxes, Philosopher's Caches:
4,739,900
Final net cost to Level 10:
43,112,310
And the formulas used are listed in the first post. But they may not be as good as other formulas right now, because component costs change so very quickly.
But a 43 million investment instead of hundreds of millions? I may have managed it more cheaply than anyone else. ^_^
