Alchemy Starter Guide - level 1-33

I realized I needed to level up Alchemy on my Rogue so that I could create my own Magical Lutes. I started looking for a guide to let me know specifically how much of what material I would need but couldn't find anything so I kept track of each Alchemy level and how many materials I used for each level up.

So I'm putting this short guide out there to assist others if they want to quickly level up their Alchemy. Unfortunately, I got anxious toward the end so I only kept track up to Level 27. Level 28 - 33 went pretty quick but I don't know the specifics of how many materials it required.

First, here are the recipes I used at each level and how many times I crafted that item to get to the next level:

Supplies Required:
To make leveling this craft quicker, you can buy (or collect) all the materials (excluding the actual recipes) ahead of time. I didn't record the total cost of these items. I bought the ore and herb materials from the honor point vendor in Obsidian Stronghold Mercenary Square. To go from Level 1 to Level 27 you'll need the following:

The supplies you'll need to go from Level 27 to Level 33 include Dark Crystal Sand, Dusk Orchid Bundle, Alchemy Bottle (lvl 27 - 30), Magic Bottle (lvl 31 & 32), and Blend Runes. I just don't know how many you'll need. I think I had to craft 49 times to get from 32 to 33 so you can probably rough estimate the number of materials you'll need. The nice thing is that the materials to get from 27 to 33 are the same materials used to make Touch of the Unicorn, Invisibility Potion, and Ancient Spirit Water so if you buy or acquire too many Dark Crystal Sand or Dusk Orchid Bundles, you can use them for one or more of those items which are nice to have depending on your class.

I hope this information is helpful to anyone just starting out their Alchemy skill.

As my main was mage/priest, I've made my own guitar for a long time now. But my rogue is just getting to the point of being able to attempt some instances so I'm going to need that lute now. I burned through my free/found ones while getting my lvl 58 ISS.

You don't need to do the quests to unlock 20-40, though. In Heffner Camp, all of the instructors can unlock all the way up to 40-60 for free when you reach each cap (20, and 40).

No, I don't know everything. I just use my knowledge to form educated guesses
And I listen when others say I am wrong in order to learn.

Funny, I've used that Heffner option on 2 other toons before (for lvl 40), but completely forgot about it this time.

Also, if you level pet crafting on a couple different toons for herb and ore, you can easily get the rare mats without needing to spend honor points on them.

To make your crafting go faster use the level 60 crafted gear set skill that gives you 25% more speed and stacks with the planting potions that gives another 25% speed. You can get another 10% speed from P-shell vendor in Varanas.

You can also have the crafted gear set skill for 25% more XP when crafting, P-shell vendors sells a potion that had another 10% crafting XP on top of that.

You can also ask your guildies and friends to help out with mats to help out.
