Tips

The best way to monetize extra Pixie Dust is probably to make Greater Healing Potions. A stack of 99 Pixie Dust, 33 Crystal Shards, and 100 Sand / 50 Glass makes 3 GC63 SC (58%) profit over the sale price (mostly from the Crystal Shards) of the ingredients. Use of an Alchemy Table will increase the yield by 50% (about 5 GC of extra profit).
Making Fairy Wings are also profitable, but various other wings are more profitable, which provide competition for the Souls of Flight.
