Alchemist Janicia's growth appears to have been stunted. Apparently she hasnt figured out how to move from ethereal to frozen powder and my ambitious alchemist wonders if I have overlooked something or it is indeed missing,.
Janicia does have 2 quests for alchemists to upgrade (I think) their own dust to higher level dust. Different dust than the adorning stuff.
No, they are alchemist recipes. Alchemist Distillations and Alchemist Bulk Distallations (level 70 and 85 recipes) only available to Alchemist. Unlike the others which allow you to change fragments to powders or powders to fragments of the same tier, the alchemist recipes allow you to change powders of one tier to powders of another tier. The recipes are really a dilution though as powders are downtiered only. The distillation, I expected, would go from Tier 8 to Tier 9 but actually goes from Tier 9 to Tier 8. Would be nice if we could get these recipes to go both ways and include Tier 10 now
