Transmute Questions

[Ken]

I heard I should go a potion mastery and then change to transmute master once I hit 375. The cost to switch is only 150g and far cheaper than leveling Transmute Mastery, is this correct?

Correct. For transmute mastery you have to make 4 Primal Mights, which is worth about 500g on our server(in total). Potion mastery is a much cheaper, and quicker(just a quest and some potions, not 4 days of getting mats and transmuting).

How do you make money in transmute mastery? It seems that the largest price difference between any 2 primal elements that I can transmute is about 10g. So I can make 10g every day just be transmutting earth to XX, but that is all. I can make about 25g if I transmute earthfire diamond after buying all the ingredients.

I make Primal Mights, it requires:
- 1 primal earth
- 1 primal fire
- 1 primal water
- 1 primal wind
- 1 primal mana

I farm almost all of them with my MB team in the related areas and sometimes just buy a primal water/mana/wind if I don't feel like farming just that 1 item.
The Primal Might is then worth about 110-130g (on my server at least) so that's not very interesting by itself(because that's more or less the same cost as the materials that go in it), except for the fact that you relatively often get 2 or even 3 (or sometimes even more) primals from 1 transmute, which makes you an awesome profit.

Is there another way to make money in transmutting or am I doing it just to help make it cheaper to get all teh primals I need for gear?

Use the primals you get to make Primal Might with transmute mastery, sell Primal Might and then use the profit later to buy the primals you need for your gear. That's what I would do.

I'm currently levelling an extra character and I'm considering to make 2 more Alchemist because of this. Alchemists are one of the easiest classes to level imo.
