Some people say I need to go all dex until it's maxed then start on agi, then others say I need vit then int, can someone please tell me a good way to do this?

Depends on which kind of Alchemist. If you become one, what would be your business? Solely for creating potions, battling, etc...? Are you the battle-type? If so, what kind? Stuff like those...

Unfortunately, I won't always be here to help so be patient if I go missing again.

I was thinking a Homuculus Alchemist, my merchant is only at level 14, so I've got lots of time to work everything out, I remade it because I screwed up my last alchemist listening to someone who had never even played an alchemist.

Another big problem with the build is the humuculus, I know differant humuculus do differant things, do you think a Lif or an Amistr would be better for me? Because I know Lif's are kind of like acoltyes (support) while Amistr's are kind of like knights (tanks).

Int and Luk are pretty useless to a humuculus alchemist, right?

Either way, I'm totally lost when it comes to alchemists, I'm more of the sniper type, so any help would be of great assistence.

Int and Luk are NOT pretty useless to an Alchemist with a homunculus. An alch may or may not have a homunculus but the build is still entirely dependent on what kind of alchemist you would become (having a homunculus doesn't count as a build). You may either play a support-type Alchemist or a battle Alchemist, it all depends on you.

4 types of Homunculi, all of them having different advantages and disadvantages. Lifs are hard to level up; they're good support but lack any skill for them to attack. Amistrs are quite balanced. Since they tank, they make better fighters than Lifs. The other two, Vanilmirth and Filir, are great fighters and are often seen in place of the former two. In the end, it all depends on your taste...and your build.

Ok... you need to figure out if yer making a Battle Alchy or a Pot Alchy. Their stats are completely different. Battle Alchys will normally be built like any other melee character (either AGI or VIT normally). Pot Alchys are definitely more difficult to level since they have to go INT and DEX.

As for homunculus... they is no set stats for them... their stats grow automatically as they level up. But their growth varies too, so one homunculus might be faster than another at the same level or one hits harder than the other. It just depends, I guess...

It's going to be a battle alchemist, my friend said that I should get a vani to make a vit build and have it balence everything out with it's magic attacks. I was thinking 90 or more str, stop agi and dex at around 30, have around 80-90 vit, 12 int, then throw in some luk, if there's any points left to do that.

Does that sound about right to you?

Yer build has no bearing on your homuns growth... it's been tested and proven... /ok
