I had no idea that the later stages cost gems. I am super pissed about that 😢 I viewed the Alchemy Lab as one of the very few ways for us free2play players to gain some momentum and actually be able to have fun and maybe even compete, but this gem requirement throws all that to the trash. Damn that money hungry company!
@@CptCapstar Exactly - buying 4 star ascension items in deals costs 5 bucks per item... This is the equivalent of paying a buck just to swap one. Wasnt worth it for me. I'll pick up whatever I'm missing from rare quests.
It is pretty ridiculous that the two “absolute musts” cost 300 gems total. I did learn something from the video though, I never leveled up my lab to 10 because I’ll never do those two. So you can imagine my surprise when he mentioned transmuting 3 things at a time! I’ll be leveling it up now.
@@smithchasea don't get me wrong, as a total free2play, who hasn't paid even once for anything in this game in years of playing, i still use the last 2 (usually the one that costs 100). More than anything, because if the Alkashards. But I still think it os absurd.
Hey Anchor, thanks for the great video. I just spent like the last month straight leveling up my alchemy lab to 10. I appreciate the pointers on the best return transmutes and the pointer to not waste time and food on getting every level.
Free 2 play player lvl 71, here. I have more epic ascension materials than heroes. Running 10A or 10B is only recommended for paying players. For me it is a waste of gems. Don't agree on this advice.
For the cost of 4 hero summons a month you could get guaranteed 150 emblems with a decent chance at 4* ascention item. Later in the game you’ll realize that you need guaranteed emblems more than random draws.
I run 6a and 6b; on top of 1a - and it costs zero gems, while I still make 1000 alkashards every 5.5days and still get all of the emblems. You absolutely dont need to run the late conversions to make a healthy stack of emblems.
The 10’s are ridiculous. I run 7A and 9A, and get the 1,000 shards in less than a week. I did just find out that a level 10 lab lets you transmute 3 things at once, I didn’t know that before. I’ll have to finish it this week.
SUPER Helpful video, thank you!! I was getting such useless items, questioned its value and stopped transmuting after a while. The chart was too small to capture. The emblem resets don't return your food or iron.
One of tour best video: finally someone who think Alchemy Lab is wow. In my opinion the lowest is 1B, 3B, 4B and 6B ( regarding cost Alkashard/ food), and I calcolated one way to do 1,000 Alkashard in 6 days using this levels
@@mattl2488 firstly you must level up to 10 your Lab. Then I use : - 3 B for 39 times ( food 273 k ) - 4 B for 24 times ( food 360k ) - 6 B for 9 times ( food 405k ) This is the minimum and, as you should observe, the total ammount of "times" is 72 ( limit max is 100 times)
the gem requirement of 10A and 10B is precisely why i'm going to build up my AL last. I have it built to level 2 now, which was mostly an accident of circumstances and excess iron. i run 1B constantly, so it's slow going, but like you said, it's producing alkashards on idle time. i appreciate a lot that you include bloopers on your videos haha.
You should level to 10 ASAP to run 2 converts at once. I run 4b, 5b and 6b which yealds 1000 alkashards every 5 and a bit days. With level 10 you get it every 2 pulls every 7 days but your paying gems which could be better spent else where!
@@CptCapstar thanks for the tip! i might still wait a bit because i have other building and resource priorities, but i'll definitely keep that set up in mind.
Is there a "recipe" to follow when you want to receive a specific item? ATM it seems like I'm just "auto filling" and taking whatever is spit out. Thank you!
For now I only researched 1A to get more bones (1B sucks, in my view, because it doesn't provide any useful materials and difference in ham is very little), 3A (it's biggest constant source of backpaks for now and also it's pretty cheap) and 4B (grimoire dust). Lab lv 5 so 2 paralell transmutations availabled, now i'm waiting to my iron stores reach max lv., then i'm gonna up my lab to lv 8 and do B research. Other researches i found useless and/or toooo expensive.
So...if u r free to play(FTP)...should u ascend AL past say level 6...(I know u get 3 transmutions at Level 10) But is level 10 worth it if u r largely FTP
Take the lab to level 10 but dont research past level 6, infact just research certain levels. I run level 4b (60 alka perday), 5b(60 alka perday), 6b(66 alka perday) and i get to convert every 5.25 days. You just need keep it topped up with items. You can run 1b and 2b but they take an extra 1.5 days or so depending on what else you are running
Hi Anchor, super video as usual 100% clean quality. I need a guide / clarification regarding the mapping of the HL, AL, HA buildings on the castle map. At the moment I have made 1 Barraks from the Forge buildings. I was thinking of changing 1 Tc into HA. .In this way I think I will not get stuck with the exchange of buildings. And from Forge I change to AL. Personally, I consider HA to be a Tc with a higher level. I would appreciate an opinion or guidance from you. Thanks for your time and response!
A hero summon costs 300 gems and people are okay with that. I take those same 300 gems and convert it into 60 emblems a week with the chance to get 4* ascention item from the shards and potentially from 10A. It’s worth it to me, some it’s not. Which is why I cover that in tip 19 for those that don’t want to spend gems.
Tip #21 Never do boosted transmutes!! Not worth the gems for the time. Very bad return on gems.
Anchor could you make a discord?

10b - 200 Gems , food and 7days of your time and you dont even get to pick the item you want - Pure bullshit!

That’s why there is tip 19. For anyone ftp or cheap to play just use the lower levels but miss out on the emblems.

I've only ever used it to store masses of food. Now that they've limited it to a 100 it really hurts. I have no intention of spending gems on alchemy.
SUPER Helpful video, thank you!! I was getting such useless items, questioned its value and stopped transmuting after a while. The chart was too small to capture. The emblem resets don't return your food or iron.
Yes they do on emblem reset tokens, I believe it’s 20% that comes back in food and iron
@@AnchorGamed ok, thanks.

Good video don't have al built yet but good to have these tips in hand for when I do
I use 5b? I think it is constantly. Allowing me to create backpacks as a pretty low cost.
Awesome video Anchor. I needed a second opinion on what was best.
Where is your video on the hero Academy?
I bring forge to lvl 20 then convert?, or i make lvl 2, 3 then convert and raise alchemy lvl
