Checked in IE, Chrome, and Firefox. Cleared caches in all of them to be sure.
There is no Alchemy according to the gateway. Go into the game client, it's there, but it's completely absent on the gateway. There went leveling it up a little at work today.

Anyone know if the "Alchemy Launch event" is running/working for the Profession Booster packs? :S
I checked Alchemy but couldn't try it cause my running task are only done in a couple of hours.
As far as I understand, all player usable potions are acquired with rare task only?
The rare tasks provide batch versions of potions you can make one at a time otherwise. The only exception are the potion that boosts action points and the other way they announced in the article.

I don't think so. Scrolling down from level 1 to 20, the list of common alchemy tasks only shows Aqua Vitea, several kinds of Vitriol and assets as rewards.
There are potion/dye batch rewards in the rare tasks though, thats correct.
Maybe it was planned/announced otherwise but the actual list doesnt show any common tasks with potion/dye rewards - except for the "minor unstable potion" which doesn't really qualify as "usable" imo.
In case you find my grammar or spelling weird ---> native german speaker

So I tried alchemy today. Here's my experience so far.
So I did all these steps and received 1 Minor Unstable Potion and no experience. I used the Minor Unstable Potion and nothing happened. Nothing in my log or any text.
Maybe put a message in like, "This potion has no effect." or something like that if it's a dud. As it was I spent 22 minutes and got nothing, not even xp. Not too impressive.

This needs to be fixed. Calculated oversight IMO since they have no idea how alchemy will effect currency so they're limiting fast leveling to the basement dwellers!
Basic Alchemical Knowledge is acquired by doing the Rank XX Experimentation task. This is the task that rewards you with recipes for potions and the knowledge required to do further Research and rank up in Alchemy. Not every experiment is a success though so you may have to do multiple Experimentation tasks to succeed.
I'm glad the devs get involved in the forums in this game, it's awesome.
To the point, though, is there a reason Alchemy is missing from the Gateway? Do we know when it might be available through our favorite not-at-home MMO interface? No rush, for me, but it would be nice

Thats one of the few things I really like about NW - the fresh approach to crafting.
Leadership tasks where allready something different from the standard MMO crafting, adding chance to Alchemy tasks makes this profession funnier and more challenging - at least imo.

1. Hired Alchemist ( 6 seconds )
2. Gathered Simple Components ( 10 minutes )
3. Simple Vitriol Extraction ( 10 minutes )
4. Rank 1 Experimentation ( 2 minutes)
