Should I alch any equipment that I find with a lot of blues, or should I try to sell it. Which would make me more money? When do I know when to alch equipment and when I should just sell them? Right now Im still a very low lvl so I don't find high lvl equipment, but some of them have a lot of blues. I don't know which to do

at lower levels the +s dont add much to the base stats so u should sell them as they are or if the are Sox u can go ahead and pimp since those will sell for more

applies to 7d and higher:
defuse weapons with blues, sell the stones, use the elements to make 9d stones(9d stones only), sell those stones, sell extra elements
add steady to weapons with no blues, to make it blue, then defuse it, sell the stones, use the elements to make 9d stones(9d stones only), sell those stones, sell extra elements
sell all rings, defensive gear, and shields regardless of blue

or use the stones you get from defusing weapons and pimp out another item, usually weapon makes the best profit.

applies to 6d and lower:
save all your elixirs for 9d, it is not worth to + low level items, unless its sox
use the items you find for yourself, reducing the need to buy items
sell the items you can't use, or dont need

pick up materials from the monsters you fight, and sell them -

earth 4

wind 4

earth 6
water 6

earth 9
water 9
fire 9
wind 9

At lower level a weapon SOX +3 is selling much higher than a normal SOX so trying to improve it with a couple of weapon elixirs is a good choice. Don't expect much profit from stuff other than weapons.

Improvement is very appreciated for D9 and it's better to safe your elements and elixirs till you reach that level and start improving your own stuff.

If you want to make money try to sell elements and high level tabs/stones (str, int, challenge...) in Hotan. Some low level elements degree II and III sell very good and a low level drops heaps of them. For high level tabs you can make a new character and go to roc close to a couple of botters (use ress in spot). Those bots don't pick up the tablets they drop.

So if i find like ... for example ... legs lvl 54 with STR blue .. and i use destructor rondo .. will i 100% get STR stone degree7 out of it?

No you only get stones from items with atleast 2 blues and then again not always and stone gain is random afaik

Elements too, you always will have one of the elements at least D7 but it's random.
