Ok so Im Ranking raincasting. Its a very slow and a grinder skill to rank. I wanted to share some observations and update it as well as receive any that you guys are seeing. Eventually I'll make a guide for this.
First off You get about 1 Pollen (used to make cloud crystals) for every 8-10 Honeycombs you pick off a tree. Also get about the same amount of royal jellies for spark later on.
Alchemy Mastery does effect the Bonus for production. Currently I'm rank 5 Alchemy mastery and Rank C raincasting. According to others who are using the skill as well as myself I am getting a 3% boost in prod bonus. (I get 5% vs the 2%). I am very happy about that. So far the bonus in damage to water cannon is neglible. Ranking this skill is slow as heck until rank B at which point its slow...but not quite as bad until rank 8. The slower again.
Anyways thoughts. Ideas. Questions?
I was thinking about ranking this to 1 and giving 30 mins of rain casting (thats 6 times of 90 seconds per) and charging 100k for it. (I am setting up autoclick so I can afk when I do that).
Here are my questions yet to be answered how much bonus does each rains str level give. Does casting in the rain Stack the bonuses?

Does the bonus said apply to life skills or alchemy crystal making success/synthesis/fragmentation rates, or both?

Both. At rank A im still giving a 5 % bonus to most things. Looks like rank 9 will give another 1-2% boost to that.
I still like the idea that at r1 I can have a thunderstorm for production anytime i like for 90 seconds.

Does Alchemy Mastery boost the amount of time the skill lasts? It does that for Frozen Blast.
Just curious.
