Adding to what Blade-Of-Grass has said:
* Read the wiki page Crafting to learn more about crafting from scratch and upgrading.
* Consider buying 2- and 3-star items pre-made by other players. Buying them is often cheaper than crafting them yourself. Don't buy 4- or 5-star items from other players, as they are outrageously expensive, due to the unbinding costs.
Take the brandish alchemy path for example. You can upgrade to a nightblade, cautery sword, fireburst, iceburst, or shockburst (all 3 star verions).
Now if you go to the alchemy path section of the link posted above you will notice that there are no 4 or 5 star versions of the cautery sword. If you were to craft a nighblade however, then you cannot change your nightblade into a fireburst brandish because you have "locked" your decision to craft it into an Acheron.
So it is a good idea to plan for your 5 star set beforehand rather than to get stuck with a weapon you do not want in the longrun.
So in short you would have to craft the first alchemy weapon all over again and then craft that into a "path" that you want. Or you can just buy 5 stars (although be prepared for the high crown price. For 5's with UV's it will be even more expensive.)
