alchemy question

Hi there guys
Looking for some advice. Wanted to try my hand at SoW pots and got the trainer to train me up to skill level 21 but it says that i need to "learn advance trade skills in the field"
Does that mean I need to get the rest of my skills by combining stuff in the bag or do i need to find a different trainer?

Never done this before, thanks for any heads up you're able to give me [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Yes, it's all in your own hands now...

Good luck, it takes quite a lot of plat to level it up to 170. And the profit margins ain't great.

Alchemy is skill capped by level, like most your melee/casting skills are. I can't remember the formula, but basically at the start you won't really be able to skill up as the skill cap will be really low.

For anyone reading who hasn't started Alchemy yet, I heard a good move is to wait until like level 30 to train so you start at 30 instead of 21 skill points.

I'm 34 and can only put 21 points in...

You cant add points after reaching a skill of 21 with any tradeskills. You will need to do combines 22+. This doesnt include spell research.

The *very* first thing you want to do, though, is go to EC and buy a Bearskin Potion Bag. Keep in mind that you can not combine reagents in this bag to make the potion, so you still need to carry around a Medicine Bag.

So the bear skin potion bag is for practice?

No, you use it to combine 1 charge pots into 5 or 10 charge ones. Read the wiki on Alchemy:

To create 5 or 10 dose potions, put 5 or 10 of the single dose potions in a Bearskin Potion Bag and combine. This is independent of skill and always succeeds.
