I haven't gotten to the Marron Glace yet (currently an *** hair away from 80), but it looked like the easiest skill up synth. In doing my cooking, I tried to stick as much as possible to items that had mats that could be gotten from a vendor (using the MAXIMUM price from a vendor MOST of the time, as I was buying mats with mules that have varying levels of fame) and that I could break even on (not trying to make money, just skill up as cheaply as possible). The AH prices obviously may vary from server to server, and could be a little out of date (I haven't been 61 since like June).
At any rate, hope this helps you some...and I look forward to see what other people have done post-86...I've been looking to try and plan my route but it ALL looks damn ugly and expensive lol
