Alchemy Recipes for (Argonia Bazaar - Rydon's Tower)
This page covers all of the Alchemy Recipes you can make post Argonia Bazaar. Once the Bazaar comes to Argonia there is so much stuff that you're able to make that it's difficult to afford everything with how much Gold you have. I'd honestly recommend stopping for a bit and farming for more Gold just to make all the recipes possible with Alchemy.
If you need to quickly pass time while the Alchemy Pot creates new items, I recommend Zooming over to Farebury then using Holy Protection on the Hero or Padfoot on Yangus to avoid battles. Run around the field until you hear a 'ding' and then queue up the next recipe!
