Ok so I wanted leatherworking instead of alchemy. But I chose the other. But now alchemy seems pointless to me as a druid. Not only can I not use potions in form which isnt really a big factor but after getting to potions like healing potion and up it cost 2s just to make not to mention the herbs involved which are always a hassle to find. You neverh ave a huge surplus potions and im always broke trying to afford new equip so I wonder restarting and getting leatherworking just benefit me so much more then herbalism?
Some potions are going to be much more sought after than others. Try to focus on the "hot" ones, and also ones that are components for items in other professions.
The main reason to get into herbalism/alchemy, though, is to make you character better to a certain extent. Any extra AC, stats, hp, regen, etc. that you can add to your character, even temporarily, is a good thing and makes your character "better".
How the hell could a heal pot cost you 2s each? Herbalism / alchemy is probably the cheapest and generally most useful tradeskill combo out there, potions both able to be a personal source of buff if you lack a priest / druid and also income from vending them.
mmm i took herb/alch with my mage and i loved it
first of all i love walking around, slowing the whole group liek "hold on a sec, need my herbs ;)"
it's like in deadmines i was with dwarves who kept mining. it was way cool "aah dwarves, really."
and i noticed it starts to cost way lots of money one you reach healing potion (these lead vials are a pain)
and the 5 potion limit on stacking is a pain... I always lack room.
but i like those skills and i certainly don't mind a 1h buff on my self.
Like he said once you get to healing pots lead vials or w/e cost 2s a piece. NOT to mention the herbs involvled with making them. Im just tired of having to buy gear and stuff that I could simply make with leatherworking. I mean how do peopel properly use these potions to make them last. I always run out. I mean if your about to die you use a potion right? Thats like 3s right there! Not to mention they just get more expensive. I only have like 130 alchemy atm but im considering going leatherworking and starting my profession over when I get home. Just gonna have to kill little stuff and spend a day getting leather working up really high. Also since druids are more or less support most of the time I would ever need a potion im grouped so I would have better heal support and buffs anyways

Healing potion costs 2sp for FIVE leaden vials. So it's really 40 copper per potion.
If you don't like it, then don't do it. Me, personally, I love creating a new potion and giving it to someone who needs it. I also love running around searching out that much needed herb. It's great fun to me.

Let's be nice buddy. He's just sorting out what he wants to do. Sounds like he's decided
Wrong. Leaded vials are 2s for a stack of 5. That is 40 copper a piece to make a heal or mana pot that heals for 560pts? That is not a great deal to you? Even when you just pick the herbs up off the ground. Not to mention you can make magic resistance potions, run speed potions, invis potions, increase your hps for an hour potions, increase wis for an hour, increas ac by alot for an hour??? Those are all incredibly useful and cheap.

I did herbs/alch in stress test, but the above comment details exactly why I'll never take it again. Takes up too many very precious slots. If you're a hunter who has to use a bag slot for a quiver, this skill is a serious no way.
