Currently, the only profitable item are Mega Stones. The only reason to brew the other items is for Puzzle Pieces. I quite like the minigame, but it is an underused feature due to the cost of the gems needed to use it. Given that the value of most stones is only 1-3k PD, and the cost of the gems is 15-20k PD (more for fire/ice gems), it isn't very profitable.

One option is reducing the number of gems needed. Maybe the more items you've brewed, the lower the cost.

There could also be a chance to get some value back, maybe in the form of Stardust, as leftover gem sediment from Cauldron boilings.
Instead of Stardust, you could get White Powders, at a lower rate. [this would also help with making White Powders easier/cheaper to obtain]

Another issue is Black boxes being worthless, as they can be obtained from the beach. This leads to many users not risking using the Gem Cauldron to make mega stones. Maybe the Black items could be made Beach-exclusive, and Silver Mystery items could be introduced. (See this suggestion).

Support! Maybe tied it with the gem collector discount? As a discount for trading smaller amouts of gems
