So is Alchemy kind of useless?

Potions are godly. They are your reward. They are like unlocking an additional skill on your characters! Just as Cul is like obtaining an extra accessory.

hm... alright then. I've gotten a great deal of mileage out of CUL. Even so, the ingredients bound to the Diadem is a major stumbling block. Any idea how I'm supposed to get in there? I've already got it unlocked, but the DF says the ETA is over 30 minutes, which means "a group MIGHT form"

Rather than using Duty Finder, you might have more luck creating a Party Finder advertising a Gathering party. You're not the only individual in need of Diadem gathering ingredients, after all! This also eliminates the possibility that you wind up in a Diadem group that actually wants to hunt mobs; you'd pretty much be sabotaging them, but running off and Gathering instead.
