14-17 Apple Juice = Faerie Apples x 4 + Water Crystal

14-20 Selbina Butter = Selbina Milk + Rock Salt + Ice Crystal(You will be using butter for future synths 20

20-22 Baked Popoto = Popoto + Selbina Butter + Fire Crystal(bridge item to get to Insect Balls)

22-29 Insect Ball = Millioncorn + Little Worm + Distilled Water + Earth Crystal(sell in bazaar, sell at AH, it goes fast no matter where)

OR

22-30 Pineapple Juice = Kazham Pineapple x2 + Water Crystal(again a mage item)

30-32 Roast Trout = Shining Trout + Rock Salt + Fire Crystals(if no trout at AH, they are easy to catch in Cheval River and you can skill up fishing if you haven't already. Bridge item)

32-35 Fish Broth = Bastore Sardine x4 + Water Crystal

35-40 Melon Juice = Thundermelon + Watermelon + Water Crystal(again a mage item)

OR

37-42 Pie Dough = San d'Orian Flour + Selbina Butter + Rock Salt + Water Crystal(Save for later synthesis)

42-45 Fish Broth(yes again) = Bluetail x2 + Water Crystal

45- 50 Grape Juice = San d'Orian Grapes x4 + Dark Crystal

50-54 Egg Soup = Lizard Egg + Black Pepper + Rock Salt + Distilled Water + Fire Crystal

OR

50-55 Beaugreen Sautee = Beaugreens + Selbina Butter + Fire Crystal(If the Fauregandi Region is controlled, I'd suggest this one, just for ease of ingredients.)

54-55 Egg Soup = Bird Egg + Black Pepper + Rock Salt + Distilled Water + Fire Crystal(if you chose to make the Egg Soup with Lizard Eggs, switch to Bird Eggs at 54 to bridge the gap to 55 for Yagudo Drinks)

55-60 Yagudo Drinks = Buburimu Grape x 3 + Yagudo Cherry + Dark Crystal(I cannot stress enough how vital it is, if you wish to make money, that you purchase these ingredients at NPC, this recipe will make you a lot of gil, but not if you pay AH prices. They sell fast and often.)

60-64 Melon Pie = Bird Egg + Pie Dough + Cinnamon + Maple Sugar + Thundermelon + Fire Crystal

*** you may substitute Lizard Egg for Bird Egg prior to level 64 for better synth results ***

SPEEDBUMP here: Bad item, no profits, just suck it up, sell to NPC and move on

64-68 Colored Egg = Bird Egg + San d'Orian Carrot + LaTheine Cabbage + Distilled Water + Fire Crystal

68-72 Pear au Lait = Derfland Pear x 2 + Honey + Selbina Milk + Water Crystals(they sell well at AH)

72-77 Navarin = Olive Oil + Black Pepper + Popoto + Mithran Tomato + Wild Onion + Rock Salt + Giant Sheep Meat + Distilled Water + Fire Crystal(This recipe is a lot of ingredients for my taste, but it sells well at AH and most times the items are easily obtained from NPC, Great Ninja Food)

77-81 Pamama au Lait = Pamama x 2 + Honey + Selbina Milk + Water Crystal(sells like crazy at AH)

-86 Marron Glace = Maple Sugar + Chestnut x 2 + Grape Juice + Dark Crystal(This is uber MP food, it sells many times as fast as you can make it, you will make a huge profit on these and make back a lot of money. Suggestion: When San d'Oria is in 1st or 2nd, you can purchase Maple Sugar from NPC at Raimbroy's Groceries, so STOCK UP. You will come back to this item for quick and easy money)

WARNING: It gets slow and difficult at times from here to find ingredients and you will most likely lose money, but be patient and keep your eyes open, you are in the home stretch!!!

86-90 Rolanberry Pie = San d'Orian Flour + Gelatin(this is the hard part to find) + Selbina Milk + Pie Dough + Bird Egg + Maple Sugar(told you to stock up) + Rolanberry + Fire Crystal

86-90 Rolanberry Pie = San d'Orian Flour + Gelatin(this is the hard part to find) + Selbina Milk + Pie Dough + Bird Egg + Maple Sugar(told you to stock up) + Rolanberry + Fire Crystal

90-94 Tonosama Rice Ball = Tarutaru Rice + Pamtam Kelp + Flint Caviar + Rock Salt + Distilled Water + Fire Crystal(Great SAM food)

OR

90-95 Rice Dumpling = Bamboo Stick + Coral Fungus + Dhalmel Meat + Distilled Water + Maple Sugar + Rock Salt + Sticky Rice + Fire Crystal(Requires level 15 Woodworking)

94-97 Sea Bass Croute = King Truffle, Grape Juice, Zafmlug Bass, Sage, Lizard Egg, Pie Dough, Mhaura Garlic, Rock Salt(this replaces Tavnazian Tacos)not a great AH seller, but it does pop up as a guild item.

99-100 Cursed Soup = Honey + Royal Jelly + Distilled Water + Persikos + Kitron + Water Crystal(This is a tough one, you have to farm the Jelly from Death Jackets in Crawlers Nest and the Kitron and Persikoes sell fast at AH, but when you see that 100 pop up, it will have been worth it
