I am having the same issues with Alchemist. Leatherworker wasn't to bad for me (though I do agree that there are no 30-35 LW leves in Ul'dah). Just so you know, Leatherworker gets three level 50 leves in Gridania. Weaver got two level 50 and Culinarians had no level 50 leves to choose from. Alchemist is even worse in the 30--40 department. We're lucky if we get 1 L40 leve in Ul'dah, never seen a L40 in LL or Grid. Grid and LL offer maybe 1-3 level 30-35 leves but all the rest of the Alchemy leves for the three cities are L25 and below. This is quite frustrating and makes leveling up Alchemist very hard at L37 without the old Linen moss dyes to get us closer to 40 where we can do the Cluster breakdowns.

They really need to balance out the leves for all the crafts as it makes it very difficult to level them up with locals and some of the grind recipes are just not feasible at the moment. Hopefully come next patch they will revamp the Alchemy recipes and we'll get some new ones to grind on. So much harder now without all the dyer mosses :/
