Make a -dex set to increase your fail % rate
Let's pretend that you /forgot/ to rank refine before you ranked your range and dex related skills first. Well don't panic! I have a solution to lower your dex.

1. If you smack a scarecrow it'll drop "Scarecrow" burns (it may take a while + using a pet helps with the drop rate). You can collect enough to put on a hat, glove, clothing, shoes, 2 accessories, and cooking table.

Keep in mind "Scarecrow" enchant is a rolled enchant. Meaning, you can get anywhere from -6 dex up to -9 dex. For best results, if you roll below 9, burn out another scarecrow es and keep trying. It is a suffix enchant and can be paired with Wild enchant on each of your items. (possible - 63 dex)

2. If you open up Briana's Music Shop in Tara Castle you'll notice she sells "Wild" burns. She sells 2 per channel, and her shop resets at midnight game time. You can collect enough of these to burn out and put on a hat, glove, clothing, shoes, 2 accessories, and cooking table. It gives -5 dex, it is a prefix enchant, and can be paired with the Scarecrow enchant on each of your items. (possible -35 dex)

(full scarecrow wild set max roll = -98 dex)

3. Old Furnace - These furnaces can be found in Vales and Filia. They offer -5% success rate, so use them when doing your fail requirements for refining!

So, ranking enchant eh? Well! Let me warn you, as you start hitting the higher ranks the more enchants you're going to need.

The following are places you can find quick burns or enchants:

1. Edern's shop - Back in /my/ day we used Edern for easy burns if we didn't want to grind dungeons for them. He tends to sell intricate burns on each channel, and his shop resets @ midnight game time.

2. Alby normal - I know... this dungeon... it's really boring, but it's very quick to run and get actual enchants from the end chest. Also, keep in mind it drops mana herbs randomly as well, which you need en masse for burning.

3. Briana's Music Shop inside Tara Castle's 2F - Briana sells a variety of burns, the cheapest ones to purchase are the Artless Lutes (2.5k gold). I recommend stocking up on those, and waiting for her shop to reset each night @ midnight game time.

4. Lroding - I know this isn't the fastest way to gain enchants, but I wanted to include it on this list, since I personally love exploration. Plus, who can go wrong finding junk gear/weapons that you can NPC for gold

Holy Water problems? Don't fret!

1. Comgan's Part-Time Job - Comgan offers holy water as a reward for killing 4 goblins on the basic part time job. If you want to put all your alts in front of Comgan, and log on each one everyday game time, that's the best way in my opinion to gather fast holy water. You can turn in starting @ 4pm. Also, stock up on goddess wings, you can drop into barri dungeon, kill the goblins, and then quickly wing back out to Bangor.

Last quick tip:
When I ranked enchant, I made sure to put as many enchants as I could on only tailoring kits. They are cheap to store in the bank and only take up 1 space in your inventory which is awesome amirite?
