Wait—that’s absurd. That’s clearly not right. That’s why the calculator was so important—because if you did it this way, you’d go bankrupt. Instead, the efficient method was brewing into 3 potions per brew. Let’s correct: Corrected 2021 Efficient Brewing You could brew 3 potions at once with a single ingredient. So cost was divided by 3. Plus, you used Alchemy XP boost potions (ironic) and Colored particles ? No.
Calculators added a "Derpy Mode" toggle. That toggle saved players billions. You might be reading this years later and laughing. "Alchemy 50 is free now with Garden wheat and Derpy." True. But the 2021 Alchemy XP calculator represents a turning point in Skyblock history. It was the first time the player base realized that raw mathematics (XP curves, pet multipliers, bazaar flips) was more important than grinding.
Actually, the meta was potions. Each potion gave 15 XP * (1 + pet bonus + booster cookie + skill XP boost). With a Level 100 Rabbit Pet (+30% Alchemy XP) and a Booster Cookie (+25%) and a Skill XP Boost III (+20%), the total multiplier was 1.75x. So each potion gave ~26.25 XP .
To get 55.17M XP, you needed: 55,172,425 / 26.25 ≈ 2,102,758 potions .

But the burning question on every forumer and end-game player's mind was: "How much does it cost to get from Alchemy 0 to Alchemy 50?"
