Weapons and armor only have 8 slots to synth extra factors on to, so there should be plenty of room to upgrade weapons and stuff.

I still dont get how to get money from this... do you just take the items you create and sell them...? or does money come to you automatically? Do the items cost more than you spend on them...?

Sorry for double posting and What's the point of ranking?

There is no point to the ranking system. You don't win anything for being number 1...i guess its just there, and if you're really competitive you can try for number 1 and get some self pride or something, but other than that...it serves no other purpose.

So how do i make money?

IME, I've found that the best way to make money by inventing is to use Sophia, Misty and Ansala to make 20 Celestial Homunculus. It costs 9,000 Fol to make them using the Alchemy talent and they sell for a little over 20,000 Fol. With those particular inventors on the line along with the Alchemist's Stone to increase the success rate, you could easily make one Celestial Homonculus after the other w/o fail.

There are of course other ways to make money by inventing, but what I've said above is probably the best way to go about it.

Note: Everything you invent sells for more Fol than it costs to manufacture.

this may be a stupid question but what is orichalcum and where can i find it? it seems like everyone is talkin bout it and i want to know what the big deal is.

Orichalcum is a stone you make from alchemy and it has 2 factors on it: 1) survive on fury 50% 2) +500 attack. You can make this stone by using Misty Lear,Mackwell,and Maria Or just use Ansala,Misty Lear, and Mackwell. The base price is anything in the 5000's.

Close Hayato. The base preice is anywhere in the lower 5000's. If you go to the high one, you make something compleatly different. I can't remember what it was I didn't find it very useful.

well thats what i used to make orichalcums and i'm pretty sure its 5000's but we can debate this all we want which would be beneath us, so lets just leave it as whatever. lol =)

hi, i don<t understand that part
"If you were to refine an Orichalcum, it will have 2 factors of +500 attack. Synthesizing it to a weapon that has at least two empty factor slots on it will give you two separate +500 attack factors as if you had synthesized two normal Orichalcums."
So i went to alchemist, put simple plant, pick my orichalum, and refine it. But i get 1 orichalum with a factor of 1 i think. Does that mean i got 2 orichalum?

use the best people you have in Alchemy, and then make sure the price is around 5700... if you do that, then you can easily get Orichalum, and then you should keep upgrading it so the cost of Synthesizing wont be over 100k... to upgrade you just choose specify plan and then choose the Orichalum... When you see the characters smile, you press X and stop the inventing and get your results

Orichalum: +500 Damage - 50% of surviving off of Fury. and for each upgrade it is another +500 damage to the weapon you attach it to...

oh and you might want to get Ansala, if you have Eliza or Pepitta, use them, Sophia and Misty Lear... Make sure the price you set it to is 11-12 and then you start inventing... sound easy? well it's not... For me, it took me a few days of just letting them invent... but i finally got my Philosopher Stone, dont forget to get it rated... and then go to Aquaria, and where your guest room is, keep going north and at the last room on the left, give it to him and then you get Ansala, he has a 99 in Alchemy. he owns
