This guide is really bad, you don't need to see a trainer before you can use alchemy, you don't need to actually buy the recipe if you don't want nor do you need to be able to read. If you just follow the steps you can make the potion with no skills.<br><br>You can also make 3 potions from level 0 if you follow the instructions exactly so routine 2 just allows you to auto brew the same amount you can make at level 0. There is a skill that allows you to make 4 at a time if you manually brew.
