Wish me luck! I've got the Earth energy in my mog house, the pots are all lined up and I've got the tree cuttings just waiting to be planted! I am going to start this recipe tomorrow after I've got the update completed!!! >^.^<
Edit: decided to use the tree cuttings for another gardening experiment as the fireworks are so widely available right now. >.<
Edit 2: Harvested copper nuggets yesterday (11/27/05)! Tree Cuttings Feed 1 Wind crystal on Windsday Feed 2 Wind crystal on Earthday Harvest Darksday 48% moon Out of 6 pots I got 32 copper nuggets. Also got some rock salt and light crystals (go figure). Probably would have had better results if I'd been more patient with the plant/feed/harvest days and times. (Yay! I can finally craft Kongo Inaho and Konron Hassen fireworks!)
Most sensible people grow their nuggets via gardening. Nobody in their right mind would attempt this synthesis via Alchemy. Check the gardening threads in the tradeskill forums on how to grow your own.
Ok, do you realize what a flask of panacea is??? The only way I would ever do something like that is if I had 10 million gil to throw around... The meteorite is a rare ex item that you can only have one item on you... so being able to convert it to a sellable item is good... however, at the expense of something that currently is only known to be made from lvl 90+ alch using a rare ingredient only obtainable after lvl 70. So, if you already have your alch up to lvl 90, and you are able to harvest from lvl 77-85 NMs. Why would you want to create a low level goldsmithing item that is harvested easily, and you can buy them for almost nothing...
