You should also be able to alchemy tier 6 mats using tier 5, i think?

i'm in a similar boat in the postgame. nkt sure how to reliably get these materials.

however.
in the judgement labyrinth (postgame), on the third floor are large groups of enemies called Kaki Seeds and sometimes Deathsimmons (and no, that's not a hardcore version of KISS lead singer. . ).
these enemies seem to give the best xp and gold drops in the the game.

i assume you want the mythic materials for crafting and upgrading.

the shops at rantslate and mashlenia sell "manuals" under the recipe section. they have a manual for every craftable item in the game.
these "manuals" can be combines with another craftable item from the same category.
i.e. a dagger can be combined with the aroundight manual and it crates an aroundight enhanced with a dagger. which is a item, but then you can de synthesize that to get an aroundight and a dagger separate and now you have an aroundight, which you can use or desynthesize and get the mythic materials it was crafted from.

or if you want the onigiri, you buy that manual and combine it with an onislicer and you end up with an onigiri that has a medium range on it.

manuals for armor tops combine with other armor tops

bottoms with bottoms etc..

buying the manuals and combining them and then de synthesizing the result can get you any craftable item in the game for just the gold cost of the manual. you don't need the materials.

obviously, uograding to +9 means you need to do that 9 times and each shop only has 1 of each manual and they do get expensive, but they are actually less expensive than buying the materials directly.

onto the next tip. if you want more materials, you can de synthesized the items you don't need and get the materials back from them.


another way to get the ones you need . . this is slow, tedious and time consuming, but you can actually convert materials into other materials

5 material + 5 material converts into 1 material of the next higher tier
example : 5 t3 cloth + 5 t3 iron = 1 t4 bone

the formulas are

shell- iron + skin
skin - shell + wood
iron - shell + bone
cloth - skin + wood
bone - cloth + iron
wood - bone + cloth


keep in mind, this method is slow and clunky and doesn't generate any "extras", it's just a way of converting one type into another type.


another way is just buying lots and lots of the t3 materials in the store, but that is slow and expensive, because 10 t3 costs 10k to make 1 t4, which means 1 t5 costs 100k and a t6 costs a million. plus the time spent combining them. . and more money if you don't have an alchemist, which IMO you should have an alchemist, lol

also, i discovered. those "split sharks" on the swordsmans path, which likely murdered you on your first run through the area sometimes drop mythic materials and if you go back there in the postgame, they are super easy. you might be able to farm some there

I don't believe there is a manual for "every" item, but a lot of them.
