You ask Ilorin about getting promoted to your next rank in Alchemic Trinkets.

Ilorin completes the promotion ritual and says, "Congratulations, Nilandia, for mastering this skill!"

You are a Master of General Alchemy.
You are a Master of Alchemic Potions.
You are a Master of Alchemic Trinkets.

Please, don't let me do this again!

Your sanity is questionable doing it once but to do it twice, damn woman!

Congrats ;)

Out of curiosity, how long does it take to master in Plat compared to Prime? The reagent drops are significantly increased in Plat, so I'm guessing somewhere around 1/3 the time?

Reagent supply was actually pretty similar between the instances. Plat drops more often, but there are fewer people to get them, so I had several occasions where I didn't have enough of what I needed despite my saving reagents through the levels and regularly raiding tables around the world. To be clear, it was the ayanad-type crystals that were the choke point, and if it hadn't been for people donating them, alchemy would have taken far longer than it did. Everything else I either had enough of or could easily gather. Of course, being able to hop around the world helps with foraging, skinning and buying from regional shops is a great help, but from my time in Prime and Plat, I'd say the available supply was similar. It's how to get what you need and which was easily on hand that changed.
