Alchemy and Armorsmithing required?

[Giantbane]

You should get alchemy as long as you have quest leves to spare. The materials are usually extremely cheap, and the recipes required are really easy (don't require a lot of sub materials that you also have to craft). It was the easiest craft for me to level up by far.

The way I was planning, I was thinking
>Level weaver first for Careful Synthesis II
>Level GSM and Mining
>Alchemy and Blacksmithing.

Unless alchemy's cross skills are incredibly useful to leveling up the other two crafts? I'm also running out of leve allowances and going to fall to the default 6/day.

Also, as far as gearing is concerned, would the grand company issued sets be enough to carry on when you get them at level 25? Though I am going to be swapping out the tools as I get to it.
