Once you reach level 9, you're pretty much ready to be done with alchemy. You've almost reached that peak and you just have a little more left to climb. The Level 9 Alchemy Bundle is a quick way to climb that last leg. Available for a total of 900gc in The Bifrost, this bundle contains a modified level 9 formula, and the necessary components. If you don't mind spending money. The formula included in this bundle is modified to have a 100% chance of success, for a guarantee of 10% of the experience points you will need to level up. This bundle can be found, very rarely, in the Alchemy Fusion Cache.
The level 9 choice of component formulae are pretty small, and are very component intensive; be that from their sheer bulk of components or from needing lower level components to make them. You're almost to the end of your alchemy adventure so don't give up yet.

The following level 9 formulae can be found hidden within the Alchemist's Case. If you're looking for one or trying to complete one, I wish you the best of luck.
Pantz's Picks
This is the last hurdle in alchemy. If you can get past level nine, the prize of level 10 is yours. Be forewarned, your options (even component ones) are very limited. As always you can use the next level lowers' formulae to gain experience [Level 8].
● Delectable Kumahime: This formula is rather daunting, but in terms of component availability it is one of the better formulas. It requires a 5bil (500 plat) crafting cost, and each of the Melon Flower Child Dresses will run you 3bil (300 plat) in the gold shops. However the Juicy Watermelons are relatively cheap, and you can self craft the Ambrosia from cache components. It has a very high chance of success.
● L'Ere de Mephiste: 1bil (100 plat) crafting cost is pretty daunting. And you'll need someone at level 10 to craft the hearts needed. But every single piece of this formula traces back to caches. What's nice is the Soul Crystals needed to craft this beautiful item are also a level 9 craft, which increases the overall experience from undertaking this formula. It has a very high success chance.
● Dark Matter: This component formula brings together many things you've already crafted; Spice from level 8, Quantum Particle from level 7, and Ectoplasm from level 3. Combining these components with a few more cache components in this very low chance of success formula nets you a Dark Matter. It does have a 100k (1 plat) crafting cost.
● Leviathan's Venom: This very low success chance component formula requires large sums of Gold and Platinum caches. If you've used up anything crafted from lower levels or just have excess caches, this formula has a 100k (1 plat) crafting cost, and uses only cache components.
