My time in EQ2 over the weekend was primarily spent on tradeskilling, getting my mystic up to level 36 alchemy, and my illusionist up to level 37 jewelcrafting. I also got the illusionist caught up on the gathering skills and Mara gathering quests, netting me a bit more cash.
I’m not really finding alchemy all that useful so far, though. None of the potions I’ve made so far are ones I’d really consider all that useful for regular or emergency use. Maybe it gets better later on…
