Im an alchemist and i seems to making some rather good money... it all just depands on what potions that you decide to craft...if you can find a good potion that people want/need on your server then i would crank out a decent amount of them. like on my server Adepts Exilers are rather popular but in low supply...the mats are cheap (or free if you decide to farm them...which is also easy) then make some of them and sell em...i get around 10-15g for 5 of them...now thats some pretty easy money for not doing much of anything =P... and most of the hardcore players have hardcore guilds...some of these guilds require you to have potions and exilers and what not... so if your a good and smart alchemist then you should have no problem getting the cash you need just try to find the right stuff to make ^^
