I decided to create this thread, where I will update it daily (hopefully) on friendly tips, though mostly Alchemy, it can be for other things.
Some of it, you might already know, some may be news for you! But check this thread daily for any new tips. I'll always put the new tip in bold every day on top, then the next day it'll go back on the bottom with the new one on top! =p

17. Golems won't attract monster aggro easily. This can be used to your advantage, such as the Grim Reaper, who won't notice your golems for a while.

1. When hitting trees in Corrib Gleann for honeycomb, it may be in your best interest to pick up the branches/berries/bees etc. and stack them up and drop them one by one. Why? Because just like when you keep dropping items, you'll get a message you cannot drop it because there's too much items on the ground already. Same thing with trees. They won't drop any items if there's no room for it to "drop". This could help you stay in the same tree for hours. ~ from Chiyuri
2. If you plan to spam Falias minigame, have your party meet in Avon. After each game, if you are a mage, make sure you come to Avon from Quilla. Why? So that when you come back to Avon from Falias, you can use a goddess wing to go back to Quilla and go to the mana tunnel to regenerate before going back! Then once regenerated, you can head back to Avon. It is the best interest not to start the game infront of a mana tunnel so warriors can go to bangor, alchemist to taillteann, etc. so Avon is the best place so everyone can leave to repair.
3. As with tip 2... if you use a goddess wing to return to town instead of using the Avon feather in Avon, you bypass the 5 minutes cool down and can immediately return to Avon without having to wait when using it to go back to your original location.
4. Alchemy Ice Spear, while weaker than the original Ice Spear does have one fair advantage over it. The Alchemy Ice Spear, when it spreads, does not follow the law of decrease damage as it spreads apart. So thus, you can take advantage of it in some situations, such as Sulfur Spider in the Shadow World dinning hall area.
5. If you are a fireball user in the Falias Minigame, and the mobs have increased AI speed (such as hyper AI), in which as soon as they spawn, they start to run, simply place an ice mine at the spawn point. Not only will this trigger and freeze all of them as soon as they start to run after spawning, the ice spear's effects will give fireball enough time to fly towards the enemy and explode as soon as they unfreeze. If you choose to do this method, make sure to place the ice mines immediately after killing the enemies and begin charging fireball with a phoenix firewand before the next wave start. Also, you can place an ice mine in front of you, if you are the magic castor, to protect yourself from danger in addition to pets.
6. Using charge on barriers is a great way to create distance instantly between you and your foe(s). Summoning one from a distance can also serve as a getaway. You can also cancel the charge right before you hit the barrier so you can load/cast/prepare for any aggroing monsters on you. This also proves useful in maps such as provocation, in which you can use the circle of barriers to speed escape any bad situations.
7. Feeding random objects and items to animals can net you some strange and elusive items. For example, feeding the deers and fawn at Corrib Valley with mushrooms will net you back mana herbs. Certain gems fed to the birds in Tara will net you some vivid casual shoes are just few examples of what happens when you feed animals in Uladh~
8. Demigod can reveal dungeon maps for you, however it will only reveal only the floor you are on. Should demigod end, the map will still be revealed, however if you were to open up the world map after demigod ends and return back to normal dungeon map, the dungeon map will also have returned back to its hidden state.
9. If you use heat buster at maximum range on an exploding enemy (such as Skeleton Squad), you can knock yourself back and avoid being exploded, however this won't work if there's a wall or barrier behind you.
10. Fusion Bolts can be blocked by 2 magic shields that they are composed of (Ice Lightning will be blocked by both the Ice Magic Shield and Lightning Magic Shield), however they cannot be evaded by the evasion skill.
11. Going into screenshot mode will temporarily cure Tower Cylinder Lag and Elf Lag... however this is more beneficial to Tower Cylinder since they can't move since in screenshot mode will set the camera still to one spot.
12. You can use weakened barriers to spread the effects of Ice Spear to hit a strong enemy multiple times or to deliver a much wider area of effect.
13. Pet wolves can aggro lock sheep and pet foxes can aggro lock hens for easy shearing.
14. Using tendering potion while auto attacking the walls of provocation yields proficiency.
15. A lot of monsters with skeleton AI will circle around you before attacking you. This is enough time to get an extra charge. Do not be afraid to charge one more time, even if the monster has noticed you.
16. Frozen Blast cool down only begins when the animation ends, however the skill will freeze monsters as soon as the skill is executed. If you are interrupted before the skill animation ends, such as monster's attacks, the monsters you froze with will still be frozen and you can immediately use frozen blast again without any cooldown.
