Really, SE? ALC recipes are already bad because no one actually needs potions, the recast time is long and now you even need TOMES to craft a set of 3 potions? Not to mention that over the half of hi-level recipes for Alchemists are elemental resist potions.
Crafting 3 X-potions = 12.5 tomes of philosophy.

Makes me wish they brought in the Chemist class/job from FFT.

Crafting in general is dead weight right now. I plan to level cap them all because I do enjoy crafting, then drop my sub until they take the dungeon grind out of it and fix the shard situation. If they don't, it was fun while it lasted.
None of the two star are worth tomes. It isn't just Alchemy. -

The hilarious part is that X-potions drop from CM chests. So you will can get them cheaper running CM and getting tomes as a side bonus. If you actually needed them...

(Nowhere near 1.0 numbers, but a lot given how slow you can harvest them now.) If you don't buy shards or have some similar arrangement, it's a significant chunk of time to harvest more.Quote:

I had fun leveling my crafters as I level my battle class at the same time...but now that I found out the materials required for 2 star gear my motivation plummetted... I guess crafting is ok if you're leveling a class and not just fate spamming all day but it seems like end game crafting is unfairly skewed :/

Alchemy is the worst. People at least spam food in dungeons and raids. Nobody spams potions because the pots themselves are so weak for the cost to make. 500 MP on a long cooldown? Joke. 300Hp heal on a long cooldown? Total joke.

I honestly use my HQ X-Ethers. Get a group from your FC and run AK twice. Everyone chips in 125 tomes for 10x Voidsent Blood and you have enough to make 120 HQ X-Ethers. As a whm they help between Shroud CD's. I farm my clusters myself and run AK anyways for Myth cap
