Post subject:  Seeking new alchemy guide/answers to questions

Hello everyone, I have a couple questions related to new alchemy. By new I mean the one that is currently in game. I have not played since about 2010 but I am restarting on silk road r, i am uncertain if that differs from isro. I understand that to upgrade from degree 11 you need an item. However do degrees 12-15 require a certain level fro the item to be equipped or is it based on ur ability to upgrade it. Additionally, what are the requirements to getting alchemy stones from breaking equipment. I am confused when I use destroyer rondo if I get the elements are they useless? Cause u no longer need the old tablets plus elements to make stones? Also how likely is it to get stones from breaking gear? Are there ways to increase ur chances of stones? Also how do you get advanced elixir? I tried to search online and on this site for a guide or information but all of it is outdated or contradicts other sources or is generally so brief or poorly constructed I find it unhelpful. Anyways, if anyone has an extensive guide or can answer my questions I'd appreciate it. Thanks much!
Note: I'm currently only lvl 57 so I have a long ways to go I've been farming on penon using the new free sun weapon system, its pretty easy to get a ton of sp. But now that I'm getting a ways, almost 500k sp, I'm wondering how to upgrade my gear when I close gap and level up.

Let's see if I can help you out.

12-15th degree items can be weared from Lv 101 on. They will have a "penalty" in lower stats but that's actually a joke. 15D items are the best for a Lv 101 char.

I can't tell you what the conditions for getting alchemy stones from breaking equipment are. It might be random. Usually breaking weapons gives stones. It might depends on the item's + value and the amount of blues it has.

Elements nowadays are only useful 1) to be sold in NPC or 2) to make Socket stones. For Socket Stones requirements open the crafting window (under actions) and learn the recipes needed at Accessory NPC in Hotan.

You can get advanced elixiers by destroying equipment. There are different types.

1) Advanced elixiers for normal items (I don't know what the chances are to get them).

2) Advanced elixiers for sealed equipment. You get them by destroying SoX-Equipment.

Destroy Seal of Star -> You get a sealed elixier that increases +1 by 100%.
Destroy Seal of Moon -> You get a sealed elixier that increases +1 by 100%.
Destroy Seal of Moon +5 or higher -> You get a sealed elixier that increases +2 by 100%.
Destroy Seal of Sun -> You get a sealed elixier that increases +2 by 100%.

Let' say you want to get an elixier for a 101 Nova Shield (11th degree). To get an elixier you need to destroy a shield that is one degree lower, that means you need to destroy a 10th degree SoS, SoM or Sun Shield.

Same for the other pieces of gear.

Hope that helps.

Thanks so much that helps a lot, the one other question I have then, what are socket stones? I don't understand what they allow me to do with my equipment? Do they let me add more blues or something?

They work like a skill or buff. There are different types. You can have up to 3 sockets on your weapon and on the chest. For example one socket type on the weapon increases your HP by 50% for a few seconds. The sockets usually have a long cool down time.

Good luck! The easiest way to farm SP is by going into Forgotten World and collect the SP scrolls. I never had to farm on my Wizard/Cleric until Lv 102. I did farm about 2M SP from 102 to 110 though. I'm 120 soon and have enough SP for Lv 120 FF. I'm playing japanese SRO though.^^
