Player is inflicted with the Medicated status ailment for a duration of 15 minutes, preventing the use of other items that also give this status ailment.
hum.. what this does i think is dex+20 wich is amazing or 10 not sure and goes down over period of few minutes. like after 2 minute its only +9 dex and so forth
Profit based on AH prices is based off of the server you are on. If you want to know the true profit of a craft take the cost of the items through a vendor, excluding the cost of crystals due to the fact that if you have the brains to raise a craft up to is maximum lvl you have the brains to reach lvl cap with a job on your character which means you can farm any and all elementals. Now after you add up the cost of all the items required to make it using a vendor find out what it costs to sell back to that vender.
Ex: Tsurara(ninja tools)
HQ3 which you know your going to get at lvl 100 easy every time. makes a full stack of 99
with no fame they sell back for about 10gil to a vendor each
cost from a vendor to make one is
2xdistilled water 1x rocksalt
1 rocksalt 15gil 2 distilled water 24gil total cost to make 1 full stack 39gil sells to a vendor for 990 gil total profit of 951gil to a vendor so its kinda "instant" if you know what I mean.
now thats a lvl 6 capped item, at lvl 62 I get HQ3s on it all the time I'm sure there are items higher then that, that you will get HQ3 on to make full stacks or much better items that sell for more with alchemey. Besides if you didn't have alchemey how would you get holy bolts, posion arrows etc. hrm? or nin tools for that matter you want to talk profit I can get HQ3 on black ink which costs maybe 1k to make that way and thats including crystals I mean if you want to go through AH and all. then turns around and sells for 17k. I don't know about you but uhh thats a 16k profit and with the amount of crafters making shihei's etc. and the amount of nins that use it. I don't know about you but I usually gross 1.6 mil a week if not more.
The componants for this aren't all that expensive and potion effects stack with food. It's more likely that this is rare because few people want to waste their "extra" 40 crafting points on alchemy. Alchemy nevers becomes profitable and by getting the alchemy skill needed for this you lock yourself out of mastery of the crafts that can actually make money.

Never profitable? Please correct me if I'm wrong, but don't Hawker's Knives make more than 200k profit each? Also, I hear their HQ result makes about 1.4 million.
I plan to be an Alchemist, so if it doesn't make profit, I'd like to know.
It really depends on your server. The best thing to do is to look at the material list for that synth, price all the materials at the AH or NPC shops, and compare the synth cost to the cost of the final item.
Also don't forget to check how often the item sells. If it only sells once a month, you can probably forget about profiting off of it.
Unless these boost a ton of the stat, it is very likely people don't craft them often because it will be much cheaper to make and buy food that can give a similar effect.
