I am trying to get up my alchemy for fragment of remembrance 1 and I need suggestions on how I am supposed to buy these mats. Currently, if I get a new work order, let's say it needs 1 glass bottles and 2 crynac scales (etc.) I buy x100 of the mat it needs, so I would buy 100 glass bottles and 200 crynac scales. Idk if it is a good tactic or not but I feel like I am wasting a lot of kinah and I only have 3 mil kinah.

(btw i heard crafting will change in 5.1, will it be easier? as crafting is the worst part of gameplay in aion.)

I think High Daeva Material Conversion will apply only to new items and others will stay with old craft so in your case you'll still need classic alchemy craft for artefact activation stone. It really wouldn't make sense otherwise because you need lvl 66+ for High Daeva Material Conversion and fragment of remembrance is from lvl 26 with recommeded lvl 31.
I think it'll be more accessible since you won't need to stand at crafting table and chance for making something should be 100% (there maybe some lvling involved but I'm not sure).

As for the work orders, don't start immediately with new one when it unlocks, wait till your craft lvl gets to +5 (or little less but never craft something at same lvl as it unlocks unless there's no other choice) and then start with new one. That way you won't be failing much.

Hello there

regarding Workorders:
when I level any craft, I usually buy for 10 full runs - this gets you in average to the next workorder (below 100 it's lower, above 300 it's a bit more) - means if you need 1 item of something and it gives you 8 quest items, I buy 80 of the vendor item, then 120, 160, 200 - those numbers being for the respective level in crafting (1-99 workorders are for 8 crafts quest items, 101-199 12 crafts quest itmes, 201-299 16 and then last 301-399 20 crafts per run) - I am not saying that this is the best and most efficient way, but it works for me.

Specifically with alchemy I level the first 41 points of each level with crafting elemental water / elemental stone powder

001-041 Lesser Elemental Stone
101-141 Elemental Stone
201-241 Greater Elemental Stone
301-341 Major Elemental Stone
400-441 Fine Elemental Stone

1 Elemental Stone is either 5 Elemental Water or 2 Elemental Stone Powder

If I remember correctly you were the one looking for an artefact activation stone?

3 x Magic Power Crystal needs 3 x Catalyst (vendor) and 60 x Elemental Water (crafted out of 12 x Elemental Stone)
5 x Wisdom Stone needs 5 x Catalyst (vendor) and 20 x Elemental Stone Powder crafted out of 10 x Elemental Stone
11 x Catalyst
16 x Aether Crystal


as asdf4 mentioned, 5.1 morph crafting for high daeva should not influence the craft of Artefact Activation Stones, but I will forward this.

Best regards
