Once it's possible to make these things normally, then it'll be no problem

Truly though, I think, maybe just for now, that it shouldn't be THAT hard to finish alchemy, all you need is GFX and code a few things here and there so the recipes work with these items, and make these items be saleable in some temp store, which can be up for a while till they make a more appropriate way to get the items. I think that what Stefan and Co. should do is turn all their attention towards one thing at a time, preferably the more pressing issues.
