Tips on my elf alchemist?

  This is for all the MabiNation royal alchemist or past royal's
  
  
  THIS IS A NEW CHARACTER ON THE TEST SERVER
  (Note I get 5ap per level and free weekly rebirths so I can train stuff really fast+I'm aloud to rank skills once they at least get 10.00exp on them :awesome:)
  
  My Alchemy Skills
  
  rD Fire Alchemy Mastery
  rF Water Alchemy Mastery
  rF Earth Alchemy Mastery
  rF Transmute Alchemy Mastery
  rC Chain Cylinder
  rF Heat Buster (Do not plan on ranking this skill much)
  rD Spark
  rF Metal Conversion
  rF Dissolution
  rF Synthesis
  rF Mana Farming
  rF Life Drain
  rF Alchemy Mastery (I will probably get this to rank 9 then I will start training the rest)
  rC Water Cannon
  rF Protective Wall
  rD Wind Blast
  rC Sand Burst
  rF Rain Casting
  rF Frozen Blast
  rF Golem Transmution
  
  Total lvl: 15 (I have decided to do massive leveling today)
  So my questions are:
  What should I rank IN ORDER starting with Alchemy Mastery at r9 or should I train it at the same time with other skills? Also any good journal achievments I can get easy to boost me getting royal alchemist in the test server?
  
  1 more thing they sell spark crystals in the Alchemist NPC stores so if you want me to rank that it will be a breeze but very AP Costly

  I heard that the more AP you pump into alchemy, the greater your chances of RA. Hasn't been confirmed though, but it's worth a shot. Rush AM to 1 quickly though, since it should be pretty easy on test server. Might want to raise Flame Burst for easy leveling because it goes well with high rank Chain Cylinder too.
  
  So uhhh... Rush Alchemy Mastery, Flame Burst, Chain Cylinder, and Fire Mastery to start leveling up, and then just push up whatever you feel is necessary.
  
  I'm not an alchemist though, so might wanna wait on a real RA to come in and own me :>

  I'm thinking about raising my golem and AM at the same time would that be good like get golem to r9 and then AM at r1?

  The damage would be good enough for lower level dungeons and SMs, so it would work. If the monster EXP got nerfed for KR Test though, it won't be as much exp as Flame Burst, but it'll be much faster since the WM range is gasmic with Golem+Alchemy mastery R1

  You should get good ranks of WC and Flame Burst along the way so that you have something to rely on once you run out of golems...and you will run out >.>
  
  Oh, and do you know what Fire Alchemy Mastery actually does?

  As an elf, your main advantage with alchemy is movement speed to run away and charge attacks. However, your chances at becoming a Royal Alchemist are Slimmed down by approximatly 330 points. (G1,2 3 and Seal breaker achievement from G1) In the long run people say that doesnt matter. So i recommend you rank what you want, my honest opinion, get the easier skills to rank up first, Aka Water Cannon, Wind Blast, Flame Burst and Sand Burst. Even if two are useless they still count as points.

  Unless you're going to party a lot, get Water Cannon up to a good rank (like r5+) and make sure you train Chain Cylinder along with it. Not sure about Water Alchemy Mastery though.
  
  Also, get Transmute Alchemy Mastery up if you're planning to use Golem Summoning a lot.

  Cheese, you really should have posted this on mabi times or gameabout.
  
  Although similar, test server alchemy build isn't exactly same as real server alchemy build.
  
  First, synthesis is same as useless. The hourly auction sells out rare items for cheap.
  Second, elves do not have a disadvantage in royal alchemists because in test server, THERE IS NO MAINSTREAM QUESTS (no g1,2,3,8,9,10,11,12, and no horn)
  Third, you are going to lag in test server not only because you are so far away from korea, but also that there are only two channels and it is full of people. So better have a tank build along with it.
  Fourth, the only dungeon you are gonna run in test server is rabbie dungeon. No other dungeon can match rabbie basic in gold reward from fomor scrolls (remember, scrolls give 2x~5x gold reward).
  
  Those are the suggestions from a korean.
