Some interesting stuff here. This is the first of a few Highlights from yesterday’s interesting conversations.

Basics, Trading guild costs 5K a week and has a trader in Sentinel, high usage zone.
Following this post I’ll be putting up another video where JustJevika basically solves everyone’s money woes in one discussion session. 5K will see like pennies once you start doing what she tells Sean to do…
Feeding the beast: Get the Poison out.
I only listened to a few minutes of it so I might of missed the actual jist of it. Did she say just craft basic poisons and sell them to the vendor? Aren’t the mats worth more?
nope. She’s talking about junk mats and potions, specifically poisons.
If you did this with blacksmithing or anything else, yes, a waste.
She was pointing out how easy it is to find these reagents and generate about 10K in just a few minutes just from selling 1K+ poisons to any basic vendor, Nuzimeh included.
In the instance of poisons, no… mats are not worth more. most poisons you can get 3 coin for, and with full alchemy 1 set of reagents gives you a 16 stack. that times 3 coin adds up fast.
But we are talking about reagants and icor/grease… you’ll get next to nothing for those mats, and increase your take by about 16 times by using them.
What ingredients are you using?
Mostly any grease base… that’s all that stuff like Alacast that I never knew what to do with.
Then I’m using whatever junk reagents I know someone else doesn’t want. The only things I really know to save are Beetle Skuttle right now, so any other reagent is fair game. and reagents are just EVERYWHERE.
That’s what I was mainly curious about. What examples.
I qualify “junk” as anything I know another person (or myself) might NOT want to use for a badass potion. For example: Witches brew, I think requires Beetle Skuttle. So I keep the beetle skuttle reagent. Literally every other reagent is trash at that point (for me, cause I mail the skuttle to someone else)… so all those thousands of spider eggs and crap like that that come off the masses of trash mobs in dungeons and delves… all that stuff is junk just gathering in your bag… make poisons and sell em to Nuzimeh. The poisons I was making were only about 3 coin, but if you make 1000 trash potions from various reagents, that’s 3000 coin… and 1000 is not hard to do when you level up Alchemy and are making 16 count for every press of the button…
Edit: Ok- had time to pull up a list of reagents and the easiest to get that I have been able to farm and whatnot…
Grease and Ichor are real easy to farm and I already have thousands.
As far as reagents are concerned:
Scrib Jelly and Fleshy Larvae are easy combos to farm
Beetle Skuttle and Mudcrab Chitlins are also a pretty easy to find combo
Fleshy Larvae can be farmed from Skyreach Catacombs in craglorn, or more easily outside the Vile laboratory in Coldharbour. Also a pretty cheap mat to buy.
Spider Eggs and Squib Jelly are both very common drops in common dungeons… I know you know the ones.
I had enough to go from 0 to 30 in alchemy in one sitting…
Hope that help @Lala_Calamari
Already have all my crafting (except jewerly) to 50. I’ll have to take a look at options. I mostly saw plant stuff and didn’t want to waste that on potions.
As for grease, ichor and what not, yeah, I have thousands.
This chick had some real interesting advice on creating potions and poisons, and how to effectively stack effects. I’m trying to isolate that section this afternoon, I’ll post it here.
