How often do you alchemetize for gold?

[Jondifool]

i am alcymising early with ulm to get second (and some times )third fortification ASAP.


With Machaka where early magic site searching often gives a broad range of gems, my fire or earth gems tend to by alcymised for a while.
Besides paying for castles , having efficient magic searchers early often pays off.

But sure having a plan with my gem income is an area where I can improve a lot!
