I'm not sure about the boots as they're just rotting in my inventory but you could always try? I don't see why they couldn'tbe enchanted over if the suit can be. :)

A great guide, but I think this this bit may be wrong-- I haven't actually tried it yet, since I had no plan on overwriting either enchant on my Royal robe, but when I was going through enchants for training, Thief (rA Suffix, I think?) listed the Royal Alchemy Robe as an applicable item to enchant on. I haven't tried it again yet, but I'll see if I can get an enchant to use for the purpose of getting a screenshot. It may tell you afterwards that you're not allowed to enchant it, but I'm almost certain it was listed.

Definitely great info on the RA system though.

Thank you. I'll edit that right now.

Confirmed on the boots, too, put Difficult over Baking since I don't use fire alchemy for +2% crystal success.

Flame burst can do deadly one-charges with a good set of max damage enchants. :awesome:
I've tested it out personally... It's hax.

I noticed that without the Royal Alchemist title, wearing the outfit is pointless, its 6 defence and 4 protection can easily be replaced by a 5/5 heavy armor or 4/4 light armor.
I'd like them to develop a special suit meant for royal alchemists whom became "Alchemy Masters" and give them special bonus's.
As far as titles go, "Alchemy Master" surpasses "Royal Alchemist", but not when with the Royal Alchemist uniform.
There are practically no enchants based for alchemy besides the aparent cylinder enchants, or enchants like waterdrop, which practically do nothing.
So making your own outfit would sacrifice bonus's with Alchemy Master Title.
I personally will only use the royal alchemist outfit and title, till i achieve the Alchemy Master title, aswell as an appropriate outfit to match.
Thats saying your an alchemist who does not wear armor, like me.

If you're a Water Alchemist, the Royal Alchemist title is what you want. But for an all-around Alchemist, definitely the Alchemist Master title.

For crystal-making purposes, the Alchemist Master wins though. You can combine it with Difficult (Rank 9, footwear), the already-enchanted Academic and the title for a total of +6% success when making crystals.

For synthesizing, the Royal Alchemist wins. Combine it with Delicate (Rank B, headgear), the already-enchanted Academic and the title for a total of +5% success when synthesizing.

Currently, im more of a water alchemist, due to my Watercannon Rank 1, however once Alchemy Mastery hits rank 1, i will be raising Golem to 1.
Big Golems, big windmill radius, Powerful golems.
Who ever was the smartass to make stone golems with 0% crit should die.

Oh wow, so that's why I never crit on those Foxes in Tir!

I always wondered why, but never looked on the wiki. haha

You use stone golems preferably to wm spam on weak mobs for battle wins for ranking it. Use Forests and up for fighting, Sulfurs probally for Hard, Forests if your strong enough.
Snow if your feeling frisky/last resort

Might want to replace Delicate enchant with Melting enchant.

That's couldn't be further of from the truth. If you don't like the title or just want to melee instead, the RA clothes can be enchanted over with nearly anything. They come with high ranked enchants to start with. So lets say you wanted to make a max damage set like Extraordinary White Horse combo'd with dual stout earthquake accessories. Normally the best you could get for clothes is 4/2 after upgrades. RA outfits starts off with 6/4.

Waterdrop is a lot more beneficial then max damage for alchemy. Any +alchemy damage is affected by multipliers like alchemy mastery, saturday bonus, cylinder bonus, stack charge bonus, rain cloud.

That being said, you can't possibly get moist on clothing. That alone makes the RA outfit better for the alchemist that make water their main form of attack.

Delicate is a prefix and Melting is a suffix.

Also, when you find Melting it comes on teeth-patterned ankle boots so there's even more potential there.

Didn't realize it was a suffix. Meaning Delicate Melting (hat) could work. +4% Synthesis boost there.

Whaaaa? 3 upgrades give +4/+2 making store bought clothing 6/2. Rank B+ tailored clothing would be 6/4, while A+ would be 7/4. The RA outfit cannot be upgraded.

Ah, thanks. I missed that one enchant. haha

So I guess it's...

Melting (suffix, headgear) = +3%
Delicate (prefix, headgear) = +1%
Melting Teeth-Pattern Boots (SM chest) = +3%
Academic RA suit = +3%
RA title = +1%

Total Synthesis boost = +11% success rate

:D

And apparently, there's a Maker (prefix) enchant that comes out in Chapter 4. (Source)

It's for gloves and the effect is:

If Barrier Spikes Rank D+, Crystal-making Success Rate+1%
If Summon Golem Rank D+, Crystal-making Success Rate+2%

That would add a total of +9% success rate to crystal-making.
