I use both alchemy skills(Flame & Water), and thanks to Tropa I know that it'll be beneficial if I went with boiling on my body for more diversity. I only have about 5-8m at the moment and I don't know how well that may help me. What should I change/improve on?

Equipment:
(Hat) +13 Crit +10Max dmg Dustin Helmet
(Gloves) +8 Crit +15HP +10Will +10Max Val Gauntlets
(Body Piece) +5 Water Dmg FlameRider <- I got an extra rider in case boiling fails.
(Boots) +8 Fire Dmg +5 Water Dmg FlameRider
(Accessories) +10 Water Dmg Rabbit's Foot (x2)

Cylinders:

Fang Volcano Cylinder 5-step (R) (+10STR +8Crit) (Fire Alch dmg 5Lvl Reforge)
Water Drop Tidal Wave Cylinder 1-Step (S) (+5 Water Dmg)
Moist Ripple Tidal Wave Cylinder 5-Step (S) (+34 Water Dmg)
Earthquake Cylinder (Clean)

Titles:

The Phoenix's Witness Party Halloween (+50 HP Alchemy Dmg +10)

You can try to risk Transparent or Heated on your accessories and slap Ripple on your body wear.

What do you have on your gloves btw?

By the way, I'm actually working on my Alchemy guide(After procrastinating on it for so long) adding in a recommendation section for enchants and reforges.

I'm overstocked on Rabbit feet with max/close-to-max luck at the moment, so I have plenty of accessories to mess with. I have Expansive Amplified on my gauntlets. That's amazing about the guide~. I'm totally lost as to what I should aim for reforge-wise as well.

Best alchemy reforges

Headgear reforges - Flame burst duration, shock duration, blind duration
Body reforges - Life drain absorption amount, rain casting water damage
Handgear reforges - Flame burst range, Water cannon range, Heat buster damage, Rain cast range, Shock range
Footwear reforges - Wind blast range, blind duration, rain cast cooldown reduction
Cylinder reforges - All skill maximum damage, Rain cast duration, frozen blast duration/range
Accessory reforges - Shock damage, Flame damage, Water cannon damage

[SPOILER="@ Tropa"]Alchemy efficiency reforges, are they 20% per level or 0.2% per level? Goes on footwear. Would be pretty awesome if it's 20%[/SPOILER]

Imo, reforge in the following manner if you are willing to spend as much reforges as possible (list based on most useful reforges)
1. Headgear
2. Handgear
3. Cylinder
4. Accessory
5. Footwear
6. Bodywear

If you are rather limited on reforge spending, reforge in this manner instead (list based on rarity of a good reforge appearing, personal experience)

Cylinder
Footwear
Handgear
Headgear
Bodywear
Accessory

They only effect additional damage, so they suck automatically.
