So... I want this... pretty bad. I have no crafting skills worth noting.... never been something that interest me that much till now.

Evidently this is a three star recipe, which also don't mean much to me, except that it's really expensive to buy, and there's no reasonably priced ones on the auction house.

My FC mates tell me I'm better off NOT leveling alchemy at all and instead should contribute to their goal so they can help me obtain these items.

So.. exactly how much effort, time and money does it take to make my Warrior AF Blue when your new to Alchemy?
