==Level 20+: Active training and cost==

The fastest experience in Alchemist is always earned by making the highest level potion available to the player.

However, the potion that gives the fastest experience will sometimes be very expensive to make, and so the cost of each potion should also be taken into account. Few potions are actually profitable to make, but it may be preferable to train with a lower levelled potion to save coins.

For example, the level 29 [[20% Potion Healing]] is approximately 52,294 XP per hour, but costs {{currency|8.09}} per XP. However, the level 23 [[5% Potion XP Stonemaw Hill]] is approximately 46,610 XP per hour, which is only 11% less, but only costs {{currency|0.24}} per XP, which is 97% less. It is up to the player to decide if the highest level potion that they have access to is too much of a cost, and if they wish to choose a lower levelled but cheaper alternative.

For levels 20 - 200, assuming that the highest level potion is made, it takes approximately 2.3 to 3.5 hours of making one type of potion, before the next potion is unlocked. Reaching level 200 requires 28.4 million XP. With this method it takes ~80 hours of making potions this way and costs ~{{currency|70000000}}.
