Well, last Friday as I was grinding away on Young Brown Legged Fennec Foxes for my Boss kills for Alchemy Mastery, I had to restock on water crystals for my fearsome Novice rank Water cannon that was the scourge of all young fennec foxes with brown legs. I slipped through my guild's stone to our guild hall, restocked my supply, and decided what the heck I have alchemy skills, even though they are largely on the production side, why not apply for Royal Alchemist while I am there. Worst that could happen is I get turned down, while the best is an extra 4% to my synth rate.
Come 3am local time, I get an achievement. I made it in.
The title and the uniform give huge bonuses to water damage, giving my Novice water cannon a huge boost. Now, I am wondering, if I am the only Royal Alchemist who has a rN Water cannon?

A lot of people left it at novice. I know a ton of people who went straight for production just like you did.

r6 synth,
r2 Alchy Mastery, (1190 crystals to go. :-( )
r1 metal conversion,
r6 life drain (because life drain crystals sell well, and I can afk fish-- still r6 because AM is pain)
rC summon golem (to train early AM crystal making)
rE fragmentation (because I ranked it to F before I noticed that the success rate for cheap silk goes down)
Total level 11xx
edit: oh and I guess I have Mana Crystalization at r7 now too. (though I'm not sure what it was when I was accepted)

You have a lot of other high rank skills so it's not surprising :u

ya, which is why I applied. I was just wondering if I were the only RA that was wasting such a huge bonus to water damage.

You wouldn't get rB Alchemy Mastery without going insane first.

I had to rank mine to get Flame Burst, and then some more since I didn't have super cp gear to get easier boss kills...but I honestly don't use it much.

You must be one of those people who have at least rF on everything then... :V
I guess that most people had the mindset of not making it into Royal Alchemist, and didn't apply. It also could be that they forget to apply, or didn't care about Royal Alchemist at all. I wonder if it will be the same during the second round when people found out how easy it is to be a Royal Alchemist.
