Alchemy 100-110 WTF SE

So here I am all pumped to start doing skill ups and make new things! there's just 1 problem
WHERE THE HELL ARE THE MATS every skill up recipe requires this item

http://www.ffxiah.com/item/2875/ethereal-squama

which there are none of, all the other crafts get some kind of "get started" item like GS can squeeze out 2 more lvls making old rings etc. but alchemy? completely screwed

Do the devs even play there own game before releasing this crap out the door?

PS yes i did find this bridge synth thx to a LS mate

but the items needed are drops from an ENM that nobody does anymore putting it up there with the squama
