About this mod
Dismantle costs halved. New recipe for Alkahest. Balanced recipes for Gold and more

Info
The exorbitant cost of Alakhest takes the fun out of crafting -- less than 25% of players have broken down 10+ items.
This mod aims to fix that.
Further balance updates will follow. Suggestions are welcome!
Reduced Breakdown Costs
All items cost half the original Alkahest cost to dismantle. This is rounded down (so 9 becomes 4).
New Recipe: Alkahest
These are very common early drops (5% drops from Bat and Bone Morte). They're rarely used, so this may have been an originally intended recipe.
Balanced Recipes
These recipes have reduced ingredient costs.
Gold:
Reason: You're a powerful shardbinder and a natural alchemist. You don't need to buy Gold.
Alchemic Bounty:
Reason: Ranks 4-6 took 27 Gold, which would cost 405,000g in the shop. This is way too much, even if the shard is OP.
Exquisite Steak:
Reason: Drop rate for Flying Beef is too low (1% from Haagenti).
Invisible Blade:
Reason: This is a cool weapon that's overshadowed by costs too high for its damage class.
Apple Risotto:
Reason: Apple Risottos (+320 HP) shouldn't need more apples than Apple Pies (+370 HP).
Changed Recipes
This recipes have altered ingredients.
Dark Matter:
Reason: Dark Matter is cheap to buy once you've made it, but Witch's Tears is a 1% drop from Cyhyraeth. This meant farming was basically mandatory. The new recipe uses Queen's Tears, which drops from Tamako-Death (5%) and Lamashtu (6%).
