Suggested Alteration to Skill Trees

I found that I was able to get Alchemy before Mining and Refining;  while this seems like it would not be a huge problem, one of the quests I received under Alchemy required me to make Fertilidust, which requires chemicals that need Shiny.... which as far as I could find, does not exist in stores.   The only way to get Shiny was to mine for it and then refine the results, which, of course, I could not do, nor was I told of this until I got some help from the other players (thanks, other players!).

Personally, I would not mind seeing the Skill Tree altered so that a player needed Mining and Refining as prerequisites for Alchemy.  Alternately, I would not mind seeing Shiny available through Street Spirits--if I somehow failed to see this, of course, I apologize for being partially blind.

  • No, you are correct. It is not available from stores.
    There are a few cases where this happens. Not being about to make something in a quest because you can't make/get something else and it is not for sale by Street Spirits.

    At first this bothered me a touch... but there is an option: Asking for someone to give/loan it to you or for someone to auction it. So I've come around the other direction. The few rare times it happens, it forces you to be social (or just wait until you can learn the needed skill).

  • I have to admit having trouble searching through auctions, when the game is up.  Personally, I think it would rock if people could stock the Street Spirits through their actions--that would make just about *anything* purchasable somewhere.   That said, it would be nice if there was something in the Quests' text as to where to get the things you don't have.
