Ingredient links show where to gather the inputs. Quantities depend on the recipe and the number of attempts; use the recipe window for the amount consumed per craft. Buy vendor supplies such as thread, parchment, dyes and vials from profession suppliers.

Keep bolts, powders, grinding stones and other intermediate crafts for later recipes. Yellow recipes may require extra attempts. Vendor recipes and specialization recipes must be learned before you can use them.

Counted Alchemy plan and shopping totals

These budgets follow the route above. Yellow and green recipes can fail to grant skill, so the counts are estimates. Stop at the target and refill in small batches; the table totals are the exact ingredients for the listed attempts, not a guaranteed path to 300.

Keep all 65 Minor Healing Potions for the next step. They already contain the first 65 Empty Vials; do not buy another vial for each Lesser Healing Potion. Twenty Major Healing Potion crafts consume 40 Golden Sansam. The listed later recipes total 110 Crystal Vials; any extra stock is a separate skill-up buffer.
