I am close to having to decide which artisan class I want to be. I think I have narrowed it down to either Armorer or Alchemist. I have some questions about both.
As a Troll I know that I would get the opportunity to boost my armorer skills, so I would like to know how that works. Just exactly how much does it boost your skills? Does it boost quality, or add recipes, or both, or what? Also, can Armorers repair their own armor? Can armor that gives bonuses (i.e. +1 STR) be created? Can armor actually be created that is better than what you can find?
What are some of the better potions that alchemists can create? I am assuming healing and resistance boosting potions. Any other cool ones? I know as a Warrior, alchemist isn't the traditional choice, but being able to create my own healing potions sounds pretty cool.
I appreciate all the help. I am looking for the alchemist class that will be useful even when I get to high levels. I realize that no one is that high in the game yet, but I'm sure there are tons of people farther than me who can offer advice. Thanks a lot!
