Mage med eval resist wrestle anat alchemy are the skills.

TRAIN ALCHEMY FIRST. I cannot stress this enough. Crafting skills are the hardest skills to do on this server, and alchemy is a fairly expensive commitment.

2nd - Resist
3rd - mage
4th - wrestle
5th - med

Anat and eval are the easiest, therefore... should be done last. You can trap an animal in your house or tell it to stay in town and just macro the use of the skill on it and get your gains that way.

To train alchemy, you are going to need a # of mortar and pestles (available at your local alchemist/mage shop). Make sure you either make the character starting with 50 alchemy skill and 50 resist. These are the hardest to gain in and should be done before any other skills. You want to do potions that you only have a 30-40% success chance in. just look @ the details of the potion in the mortar and pestle gump window. I used to do poison potions to GM, but after making a couple alchemists, I figured that I could gain and make kegs for myself, so I'd make gcure and gheal and gexplo kegs while I gained. Just some thinking ahead for you guys.

Good luck.
