So alchemy is essentially impossible. Awesome, just awesome.

You only need to be patient. Alchemy currently, is far too strong. How about you look at the glass, half full - It would really be respectful toward our efforts. Potion reagents will drop off of hostile creatures at a very low rate in the future.

Aye, I have seen the nether warts in the Monks Sanctuary myself. It is coming... like a second Christmas. Keep up your writing and good RP for alchemy and you'll find yourself among the legitimate alchemist when it arrives.
