At Alch Pro 7 you cannot really skimp on mats

Adding a shortcut viability proposed by another member to the actual recipe page instead of the item page:





Theory time, but does it seem to make sense that some ingredients take priority over others and you might be able to skip lower tier materials (like sap? hopefully?) while always using the requested amount of higher tier mats (bloody tree knot) .. There's no proof but just a trend in my experience and other shortcuts ive seen thrown around. I encourage everybody to add the same to every recipe page if you know of any.. but include your skill rank so newer players don't waste their materials

My largest annoyance with material efficiency in recipe, is that when you fail you have to restart the process again. So i figure it's something you'd only want to do for things like this where materials can get limited pretty quickly when mass produced, but honestly, id like to experiment by dropping the first sap to 3 and keeping the rest up to par as fir sap has become a rare commodity lately

Skilled 5, failed with 1x Pure Powder Reagent, 3x Bloody Tree Knot, 4x Fir Sap and 3x Trace of the Earth but recipe worked when I switched places of fir sap with bloody tree knots.
