Hello, as the title suggests I am a new player in need of help coming up with a build for my first character. Given my name it should come as no surprise I intend to main an Alchemist. However, looking around I seem to be hitting a bit of a wall.
From what I’ve gathered, people seem to think Alchemist isn’t that great of a job, and I seem to be having trouble finding recipes for Magnum Opus. Or a list of potions that can be made with Tincturing.
Since I’m new I’ve only been going off what I could find in youtube videos and on the forums. Though I’m not if any of the builds would be good as a “Main” character. I have taken a bit of a liking to Onmyoji, the fire fox seems kind of cute. And while I do like the idea of Rune Caster, from what I’ve read it’s pretty weak, so probably not a good idea to combo something like that with a class that already has trouble dealing damage. So yea could use some help here.
After that I do have a couple of questions:
What exactly does Dig do? I get what it says about getting items, and increased rank getting you more items. But from the builds I have seen, most people don’t take it. Why? Aren’t there items you can only get with it? If not, what is even the point of it?
Why do I never see anyone taking the Alchemist damage Skills? Are they just not good? I figured I’d see at least one person trying to use them, which is why I’m asking I don’t plan on giving up my crafting skills, or Sprinkle HP/SP for it, but I’d still like to know.
