Why is alchemy so good? Hey, So I've searched around about the best profession to have on your characters. I have a level 10 Smithing mule, as well as an Accessory Crafting one. I have Alchemy on a couple characters too. But right now, I'm wondering which profession to have on my Zero. There are a lot of veins and stuff in mirror world dungeons, and I want to make use of them! Most threads say that Alchemy is the best profession to use, because of being able to use two potions at the same time, or something. Basically, I'm planning on crafting the level 140 set for Zero and was wondering which is better- Smithing or Alchemy? And why?
