ALCHEMY -- Worst profession in the game

[SolusekRo]

Your the type that complains about everything, are you not? This is A Realm Reborn and no longer 1.0. Stop living in the past and get over it. alchemist still gives an incredible amount of CP back. For shards, its not that hard to farm for a hour and gain two or three stacks worth of any particular shard. Laziness is what I see when looking at this thread. There are many items that one can gain a profit off of, you just need to do the research first.

i have all crafting jobs lvl 50. i have maxed out materia hq 55 gear for every one of them... however i have yet to have a single request or reason to take the 10 minutes to craft myself a set of 55 gear for alchemist let alone the hour of force melding materia into it, so i have not done it yet. i dont even have the job set on my crossbar. there's really no reason to level alchemist other than to be able to say you have it done. se definately needs to balance this class out.
