Leveling up Alchemy can be a quick affair if you can obtain all the needed ingredients. You can find these in guild stores or out in the field, by harvesting locations or killing specific enemies for reagents and solvents. Discovering all combinations is the most efficient way to level up, as it unlocks the traits for all reagents which will be important in determining what potions you can craft.
Please see this spreadsheet for a complete guide to all possible combinations.
It is advisable that you craft the daily writs to obtain materials, inspiration and gold:
- Quest Giver: Consumables Crafting Writs Board
