stay away from the alchemy vendor recipe

The only vendor recipe I ever use is 4 jewelers -> 1 fuse, and only then because sometimes the vendor has 6 socket items for sale which are worth 7 jewelers apiece.

Seriously, even if you hate trading, still stop at fusings and trade those easily for alchs. You save yourself so much. Don't trade at the vendor for alchemies, also Chance orbs are more valuable than alch / fusing / chaos.

While I think chance orbs tend to be undervalued, saying they are more valuable than those is rediculous.

OFC they are, they roll uniques.

Majority of the currency I make comes from alchs. I love that people haven't figured out that they are the one orb you can spend with impunity and always come out ahead.

In the game's player to player economy, yes its a bad vendor recipe. But many people don't trade, because trading kind of really sucks and wastes time. The vendor recipe is good for easy conversion to things that you need.

Also, if you think vendors aren't fair... its not new info. Give a vendor a fusing and he'll give you a jeweler. Want a fusing? You have to pay 4 jewelers.... Vendors are the most cut-throat traders that exist :P

jewelers and fusing recipe the player base accepted and used as reference.
Regret for alchemy is just retarded, period.

basically in fundamental levels the recipe values these items as follows

alchemy = regret

you can vender a regret for a alch but you can't vender a alch for a regret.
Also almost everything you vender gives alch shards. Alch is over 4x less valuable.

It really is just a dumb recipe.

Anything worth 1 alch isn't even worth bothering with to me. I save them up and trade in bulk for higher orbs, or keep some for alch'ing certain maps.
You need like...80 to trade for a exalt. Not sure why you wanna make it sound like alchs are all the rage and a huge money maker. They just arent.

You are right. Alchs are horrible. Please trade me all your alchs at 3:1 for my chaos.
