I think there is a time in every high-level toon's life when Xan Alpha symbiants become a target.
Although most of you have certainly passed this time already, I know that some are still preparing for this moment. With this topic, I would like to give you an idea, how you can prepare to have a smooth process without any surprises with regards to requirements.
I have recently equipped alpha symbiants on my solitus melee adventurer Maverick86. Based on this example I would like to show you, how I prepared myself for this process. Please find attached a ZIP file containing an Excel sheet with detailed calculations and step-by-step equipment listings. The sheet should be easily adaptable for other breeds and professions. It has been some manual effort to write everything down though.
Furthermore I tried to optimize the process by having as few equipment changes as possible between every single symbiant that I equipped. Due to the fact that I'm human, I cannot guarantee that my calculations are complete and free of mistakes. Please help me to correct such errors accordingly.
It all worked out pretty smooth for me using this file. It would have been even easier, if I would possess the Dustbrigade Covering or the Dustbrigade Bracer.
During the process I found that I sometimes could afford to replace the Research Attunement Device - Health by the Medical version to be more independent from having a Doctor casting SFA and Treatment Transfer at me.
Some of you may have similar or even better information and knoweldge, also for other toons. Therefore you are invited to share your knowledge and make this topic helpful for as many people as possible.
Looking forward to reading your feedback and sharing further ideas regarding this topic.
Cheers
