Eternity pill costs.

[sdhobbit]

Am I doing something wrong? Evil sects sell eternity pills for 1000 stones. Things like Prism Lotus cost 3000 stones. The recipe for Eternity Pills needs all five of them. That makes it 15000 stones. My alchemist managed to produce only two pills. It's like 7500 stones per pill. Maybe my alchemist not so good, but it still makes no sense. What's the point in crafting these pills?

The items used to craft the pill are worth more than the pill itself because of their effects in cultivation and their potential overall. The pill itself isn't worth crafting if you can help it.

If you use primordial alchemy dude fully levelled plus unortodox manuals, you will be making more. Plus talismans. I did not make eternity yet, but I you can make a lot of bane pills etc in one batch. I have unortodox manuals for like 60% yield each, and impermanence talisman for like 80%-odd, and that's just normal blue one. Also, once you build certain wonder, that pill will actually be 800 stones.

Also, prism lotus is 2400 stones with 20% off, but it does not really matter - you can't sell it at that price, and you can only have certain static amount naturally (max 3 per run I think once every 2 years?).

But, any that merchant has are essentially free because you can empty merchant each time with worthless fabric and wheat which you should be swimming in.

Eternity pills you only need limited amount, they are easy to buy, and fruits are IMHO much more important for other things.

Panacea pills, on the other hand - you need 1 per inner to cure smelting and ideally you need as many as you can to farm serene pills and similar.

To make a good/excellent Inner Disciple, you need to boost the outer stat as high as possible.
Eternity Pill have 2 function that outer need to become Inner disciple:
1. Increase 10% attribute
2. Negate side effect of bane pill

Sure you can use other pill to offset Bane pill side effect but eternity is the best choice since its have the 10% attribute increase.

For Info to make good/excellent Inner, the step:
- Soul Infection cast on outer
- While in Very Ominous room, cast 4 status buff miracle on the outer to increase their attribute.
- Remove Soul Infection.
Note : While in soul infection state and in the very ominous room the attribute will be lower and it seem during this state the effect status buff miracle more better
- Consume 2 Eternity (better T12) to increase outer life span and their attribute
- Consume 2 - 4 Bane Pill (better T12) to increase outer attribute, side effect 60 year of life will gone after each consume
- Promote to Inner Disciple.
