When Fruits no longer cut the mustard (CP trouble)
So Im trying to train Frozen Blast WAY too late, and iv reached an absurd point I didnt think was possible. Im wearing a Raccoon Cub enchanted outfit and these fruits are STILL aweful in the cooking dungeon. Is there even any numerous creature left in the game that has higher CP then those? Nobody is selling tendering potions that I can find right now, same with other pieces of -CP stuff. Anything I can do here besides dumping like 1k ap into frozen blast for ap training?

Alternatively, get more -CP gear (I prefer an Abysmal Guard Cylinder to the grind to get -600 from the headgear, footwear, and handgear, although they are icing). If this is not enough, you can get a RC Tailoring Kit, frozen blast the enemies you want and then use Hydra/Shock while switching gear to hold the Tailoring Kit, and it will count. This will net you the 'kill boss enemies' which in combination of the above, will get you to r1.
I'd be very surprised if you aren't able to clear the <500 freeze kills (without any extra training). but you could also consult this list to find higher CP monsters. GL on finding ones with easily accessibility, though.
As far as killing enemies goes, easiest way is to use shock, then hold one of the large pieces of cookware that the knives drop.
What iv realized is going to be a MASSIVE hurdle now though is shock, which I might have no choice but to skill train. My shock is low ranked enough still that any enemy it could reasonably kill is way too weak to reasonably be able to be buffed up even to strong. I managed to get ahold of a helm, gloves, and boots that have -200 each and a tailoring kit with -1000, between that and the -1000 chest piece I already had I might be able to slap on shock in a low diff SM with all that stuff and an SS tendering potion active and swap tot he tailoring kit to get what I need, but if not, its gonna be training seals and ap training the whole way through. I shudder to think what kind of ap cost shock will come to with ap training, its already an expensive skill as it is. If ever there was a skill to recommend someone new rank up before they lvl too much, itd be shock. That cooldown combined with low damage makes having high cp give u a really bad time.
I don't know what ranks of enemies you do need, but weakening with other skills before shocking them should work.
Also, if you plan on using Shock in Cooking Dungeon for training, shock yourself and then make sure your main hand is equipped with the special cooking knife.
With that knife in your hand every hit you deal will lower the ingredients defenses and protections, even if those hits are from Shock.
Coupling this fact with casting Lullaby for bonus damage, and Elemental Wave for bonus duration can help training.
In the case of non-Kitchen dungeon training, lowering enemies HP beforehand (but not killing them) will also help.
But I really like Kitchen dungeon for Shock training.
Just adjust -CP wear and Tendering Potion usage to adjust for various training requirements and you could probably stay there from rF to r1.
1-stage Tendering potions can be bought from Lorna using 2 Saga viewing coupons and 2-stage Tendering Potion S can sometimes be obtained from the Baltane Boxes that Squire seals can buy.
It sounds like you pretty much have all the -cp gears available besides the expensive Raccoon Cub accessories.
If cp wasn't the issue I'd tell you to run Fomor Attack and use shock on the rooms with the rusty flying swords as new waves spawn immediately after clearing the previous wave giving you more hits (and hopefully kills) per use of shock.
Edit: Pretty much any room with immediate spawns or a way to stack lots of mobs at once (center room in Other Alch comes to mind).
Oh by the way you could also get a Sage of the Night Badge (if you don't have one already) to get a 50% exp boost to your alchemy skills, but it looks like the only way to get one would be to buy a hero/elite hero card, choose vates as your talent, and then transfer it via bank.
