Editing Alchemist/Guide (section)

==Levels 0 - 20==

After the tutorial, payers will have 355 Alchemist XP, 105 from making a [[10% Potion Healing]] and 250 from the [[Album]] for making the first of that potion, so making each new type of potion is worthwhile to get the album bonus.

Training to level up to 20 takes approximately 1 hour regardless of the potions created, however the cheapest method costs {{currency|25693}} and takes 66 minutes:
{{Checklist|

** Each inventory uses 12 {{plink|Veined Globeplant}} and 12 {{plink|Faded Dandelion}} to make 12 potions

This method makes full inventories of the highest potion available, but saves a small amount of time on the first inventory by only making 17 instead of 24 potions
