So lets say I want to make an alchemist. (hell why not, I've made almost everything else)
... though I don't want to blow a ton of money throwing tons of bombs and acid and spammomiting everything.
Not to say that I'm against pitching a bomb or acid now and then.

How do acid terror and bomb work?
I know looking it up in irowiki doesn't tell me everything.

Bomb apparently creates an 3x3 area for a duration that deals 2*normal damage, but does enemies that walk into it get hit just once?
If multiple times how rapidly does it deal hits?

Does acid terror only hit once?
Does it deal good damage?

Is vanilmirth still considered the best homunculus?
How long does homunculus take to reach loyal?
Should I raise the resurrect homunculus skill to 5 or leave it at 1?
Is it easy to level to 99 just letting the homunculus do all the grunt work and just feeding it now and then?
How can I know if the homunculus has bad or good stat growth?

Well that's what I can think of for now.

Actually Acid terror and bomb alone are not that good.
Especially Bottle grenede and acid bottle cost alot of money.

The only good thing about them is you can get Acid bomb when you become a biochemist (after trans)
and acid terror lv5 + bomb lv5 are its pre-requiste

Bomb is better than acid, but it's not really practical to use both of them for lvling.
For merchant -> alchmist-> trans phase, I just dump lot of agi and swing my weapon till lv99.
For High merchant -> Biochemist -> Geneticist, I use Cart revolution all the way alone with my Vanilmirth till I get Cart Cannon =.=


Is vanilmirth still considered the best homunculus?
Vanilmirth still have the highest status among all homoculus.
I really like it cuz it's a really good tanker for both mvp and grinding.
I can just hide behind my vani and fire up my cart cannon from long range


How long does homunculus take to reach loyal?
In my case...About a month.


Should I raise the resurrect homunculus skill to 5 or leave it at 1?
I got it to lv 5 and it has been really helpful when facing strong monster.
Don't even have to heal it


Is it easy to level to 99 just letting the homunculus do all the grunt work and just feeding it now and then?
Yes it's just that easy, but the homoculus can only give you base lv exp.
You wouldn't get any job exp if you just let your homoculus fight alone.
So you can end up with Base lv 99 with job lv 1.
plus you also need to have a good AI, the default AI sux badly


How can I know if the homunculus has bad or good stat growth?
I have no idea since no one is sharing their status after renewal..
I did make a post with my vani's status in this section...but no one reply

I don't know if you already knew it, but in my case Acid Terror does more damage than Mammonite (that's why I left Mammo), doing about 800% damage at lvl 5, not forgeting it ignores flee. I haven't tried Bomb yet but I heard it deals a hit every 0.5secs now, and still does around 200% damage (fire element), it MAY effective for mobbing Earth monsters but I don't know what you think...

And regarding homunculus... I only may deduce the "exact" values of DEX and AGI and estimated values of VIT, INT, and LUK. No idea about STR yet.

Bomb is too expensive to use on leveling. Actually, so is acid terror...

I would say, bet on vanilmirths for homun.... that's what I have my chips on. We won't know until we get the new homuns (like 6 new kinds of homuns that you can evolve yours into when it's 99 and you're genetic, are coming, sometime far in the future. It's my understanding that any homun can turn into any new homun - so - hedge bets by getting a homun with the highest stats and most useful skills as possible)

And here I was going to use acid terror and bomb as my main skills....

Why is it that every time I try to get into this game, something comes along and justs ruins it for me and gets me all depressed?

It's times like this that make me say to myself "Why didn't I just become a swordsman or a magician?". Ahahahahah......
