So, I was thinking about picking up Alchemist for a roleplay I was going to be a part of; however, I have very little idea on where to start. I'm not entirely sure on where to grab decent materials for the job, for instance, or whether or not I should go ahead and grab some other jobs beforehand; I heard that Land and Hand jobs work better with other Land/Hand jobs, I have no idea how to start with Alchemist.

Simply put; where should I begin? What potions and elixirs should I craft? Should I grab other jobs to really help with the process? Where would be the best place to gather the needed materials? Does anyone have any suggestions?
