This is seriously not a good time to level alchemy... honestly try any other craft, ToAU was not gentle to Alchemy.

Treasures of Aht Urhgan. It is the new expansion pack.

... fa real i was askin around every were here and in my ls digitalbackspin and everyone was sayin alchemy what craft is the best way to go.....man i think im just gona startcookin since im fishin also.

Alchemy is worth it ... but not at the same time. lol. it's worth getting to 60, and then keep an eye on silents and holy waters ... but the main problem is that when some thing finally gets to a good price, people undercut the price greatly. like on sunday around 10-11pm(est) Silent oils were up to 24k, (granted most people don't like it that high) but then when i checked the prices again on monday they were back down to 13k a stack. THIS is what is killing alchemy. The fact that people are drastically undercutting the prices of things. sooner or later alchemy is going to be a no mans craft ( in the ah that is )

*shrug* see what I did was farm all my stuff ... up to 62.0 I have only spent about 50-60k on alchemy (imagery included) to lvl it that is, lol when i am lazy and need to craft something for myself on the other hand i tend to buy some stuff -.-going to 40 took me about 4 days maybe 5, going from 40-60 took me 3 months, lack of supplies and lack of good synths.

and the difference between alchemy and other crafts is, alchemy relies on only a few items to sell, because god knows the others don't nor won't, more so at low levels. but then again, you should choose a craft that if it's not going to make you money, that you can at least use, hence my choosing alchemy as my main and I am doing woodworking to 60, I can make most of my tools for nin( the important ones =p), make arrows and bolts for rng, can make arrow heads and bolt heads for rng and thf, and can make silents for what ever job I need em for ^^

but if you are really looking for money ... cooking seems to be the only craft that isn't suffering greatly ( more so on the fish area =p )

Heh as far as money goes, venom pots, poison pots, and holy water ... those are what craft now for $$$ and they aren't even big gil, it's just that I can HQ poison pots and randomly get a Holy water HQ, venom I am skilling up on, but thinking of it, for venom pots ... i spent like 4k in total and made enough stuff for 4 stacks ( only ended up with 3 full stacks and a 4th of 3 ) getting me 30k :) so yeah you just gotta see what's out there for ya to skill up on and work with what you can farm/fish to get and make a profit :).
