Posted:Oct 21 2005 at 9:16 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) You cant have made them, b/c i can harldy make them at lvl 13 alchemy skill, and i went through 2 stacks of crystals and ingredients trying to make them. all i made from 2 stacks of crystals were 5, so theres no way you could have made them.
it is totally possibly to start making echo drops at lvl 10. that is what i am doing currently. it's not all that expensive... at least i don't think. if it is for some, go farm leeches and get vial of beastmen blood worth 200k. you can have some gil to spend if you really need to. once you hit lvl 12, it gets easier, at least for me.
i started making echo drops when i was skill lvl 10 alchemy. After making 7 stacks, my alchemy went up to skill lvl 18....it is so far the best thing ive synthesized, i believe i made 9k profit from the 7 stacks. now that im reaching lvl 20....i was just wondering what would be the next item i should synthesize to raise my alchemy skill?
You must have had either a lot of time on ur hands, an incredably large amount of gil supply, or your just bull ******** the entire thing, b/c it is almost impossible for me to make these, and my alchemy skill is on lvl 13 or 14. I went through about 2 stacks of crystals, along with the ingredients, and only made like 5 or 6 total.

You can try those: 20-24: Silent Oil x4 Water Crystal, Slime Oil, 2xBeeswax - Beeswax from AH or from farmed chips - Slime Oil from AH or farm it in Korroloka Tunnel if you can - Sell results on AH at about breakeven
20-25: Repaired Glass Fiber Rod Light Crystal, Broken Glass Fiber Rod - Buy broken from AH - Sell on AH or to guild for 1600-2000g (varies) for slight profit
Just find someone with bat earring<s> http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?fitem=2971 Should help sell those blinding potions. you can always ask someone who historically bought some if they want more as well.
Having Painfully moved up the Alchemy tree to skill 9 I figured I would give this a go. The results were disasterious, I blew up almost a full stack of crystals, and got no skill ups,( with Imaging support) so put this on hold figuring I would wait a point or two and give it another go.
@ skill 11 the results were identical. Noticing that people are posting stating this caps out at 20. I am wondering what the start lvl is for this I dont think that lvl 10 starting info is correct. Anyone else experance this?
I'd say probably about 13-14 with advanced support, 16 or so without. Fortunately, if you farm your own materials, this recipe isn't really that expensive at all. The only parts you should have to buy are the sage and the distilled water, both of which can be "NPC'd".
Wasn't this always called Echo Grass before? I guess they wanted to make the change to potions perhaps because it made more sense for Alchemy. Eye Drops were always just so because it makes senese. What exactly grass had to do with silence I don't know, but perhaps something about certain carnivorous animals eating grass when they're sick was the reason for the choice. In any case just my two cents on tradition.
I've been quite successful using these to up my alchemy skill. Bastok/Asura.
I've been able to buy sage every so often for about 130 per sprig from the guild. When it is offered at that price, I buy 6 or 7 stacks and auction some for 3k each to cover costs.
Honey is easy to come buy on the bees just outside of town, or can be purchased for ~800 per stack or 50 per pot individually
Water is sold for 11 per.
Water Crystals can be found all over the place, and are also cheap on auction.
The resultant potion can be sold back to the guild for 225 gil.
I started crafting this at alchemy skill 9 (with imaging support) and I am still getting frequent skill increase at skill 18 (!)
