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:

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.
