3. Fastidious Alchemist, Rasputchin Gregory will discuss ill-prepared Alchemists and then give a math oriented exam. This exam consists of two addition-subtraction questions, three multiplication-division questions, two questions pertaining to discount-overcharge, and three questions about the DEF and weight of certain items and armors. The player will need to answer 80% of the questions correctly to proceed.

  • Bypassing: If the player has Job 50, they can skip this part of the exam. Go straight to step 4.

Math Questions:

13+25+37+48 = 123

14*17*3 = 714
12*24*3 = 864
10,530/3/5/2 = 351
9765/3/5/7 = 93
(35*19) - (1,792/7) = 409
(47*28) - (1376/4) = 972
(2,368/8) + (24*17) = 704

The player will need the following items for this part:

  • 1 Red Herb
  • 1 Yellow Herb
  • 1 White Herb
  • 3 Empty Bottles
