Started working on my Alchemy this morning, trained skills till mid 20's until it stopped training me and went to
http://wiki.project1999.com/Skill_Alchemy and started following the trivial caps. Currently 41 skill and have blown through 1,000 plat. This "cant" be correct, so I figure I am not doing the guide properly or something, because it can't be THIS costly at this low skill level.
Before I proceed any further, can someone enlighten me on the cheaper progression levels in Alchemy?
