You can dynth silent oil x2 Water Crystal, Olive Oil, 2x Beeswax. you'll have to sell it on AH and it's a loss, but you can skill up with this one from 25-29.
I made eye drops until 30, the arihman tears are pricy, but buy you can sell the drops to the guild for around 582, and to regular npcs for 492 or so. you lose money, but its not that bad.
I don't think the level on this recipe is correct. With 25 skill and advanced imaging, I am failing this recipe over 50%. It feels more like a level 30 craft to me.
Prism Powder is made from Light Crystal + Artificial Lense + 2 Glass Fiber Loops. It yeilds 6/8/10 depending on synth and levels up in the late 30's (36-40 I'd assume)
So many sites have this incorrectly. There is NO such item as Ariman's Lens (only his Tears drop). If I wouldn't have checked the NPC's at the Alchemy guild during my late 30's I would have never seen this correctly stated recipe.
I've never seen one on sale. And the Ariman's Lens is definitely not used in an Alchemy recipe tho ;o]
It's Ex, hence not tradeable. It is used in an alchemy recipe to make prism powder, there are two recipes for prism powder - one uses the artifical lens, the other uses the ahriman's lens.
Other recipes use rare or rare/ex items too, such as 2-leaf mandragora buds and yuhtunger sulfer.
The Ahriman Lens has two uses. One is the above-mentionned Lower Jeuno fortune-teller quest (drop the Lens into a pool in Shakarami to turn it into a Divination Sphere). The second quest is in Windhurst on top of one of the ministeries in Windhurst Waters with the telescopes.
