Why an Alchemist?
Alot of people wonder why you would want to play an Alchemist as opposed to a
Blacksmith. After all, Blacksmiths make more RO Zeny, due to their smithing, and
they can do more damage than almost any other class, right? Well, yes, that's
right. An Alchemist will lose out to a smith in either of those, but they still
have definite reasons to play.

One: They are the only class capable of summoning creatures to fight for and
with them. If you're looking for the Pet Class of RO, this is it. Throwing out
3 Flora in Bib 4 and dragging a Phen past them, watching them take out half the
poor things life in one sweep, great feeling.

Two: They can do potion throwing through Aid Potion. While this doesn't seem
nice at first, being able to use a single store bought White and heal a knight
for over 4K in a toss, with no heal lag like a priest is a *massive* advantage
in WoE as a backup healer. They may not be able to dish out the damage like an
ARed Smith, but even without the speed, they are still a danger in the damage
department, especially since at this point, most people seem to dismiss
Alchemists in WoE.

Three: Again, with their pets, they make great party members for people out to
smack around high AGI monsters. 3 Flora + Alchemist = 4 enemies attacking the
poor mob. No dodging for most enemies.
