I'm gonna vent a little of my frustrations about tradeskilling. Bear in mind here that this is all from a person who went from saying that Tradeskilling is the dumbest thing on the planet, and I would never do it, to leveling up a Scholar to 19 and counting in a few days.

On to the rant...

Being a Scholar(on the way to a Jeweler to make CAs for my Assassin), I have noticed some unsettling differences between the scholar classes. Making a spell via chemistry takes an ink, a spike, and an ornament. If you break that all down, it takes a 3 tempers, 1 resin, 1 ore cluster, 1 soft metal cluster, and an ink. However, spells made by the Alchemists take an ink, an item bought from the wholeseller, and 1 resin. Am I missing something, because it seems to me that alchemists have is so much easier in the crafting of spells. Not only do they make all the components on their primary station, but they also need less of them. Any insight would be appreciated, and sorry for such a long post, just wanted to see what everyone else thought on this subject.

Yep, alchemists have way less to do for the subcombines for the fighter spells.

I also find it takes my alchemist longer to level up than it does my jeweler or sage, because they make more combines, they get more xp per spell.
