Some Professions Not Worth It?

Hey, so recently I tried out alchemy, cooking, and scribing just to find out that all 3 of them are only to heal. Is there any worth into leveling them all up or shall I just choose one to master?

What do you guys think?

 

they aren't only for healing
they can get you some good effects like high walkspeed or spell damage or mana regen or loot bonus etc

but if youre doing hic and only care about the healing effect of a profession go with alchemism and skip others

 

Oh, I see. The higher the level of the profession, the better or higher chance of getting a good effect?

 

If you don't craft with any ingredients then you'll only get basic healing items, yeah

If you craft with ingredients, then you can get some more interesting things:

• Potions last for a couple minutes (higher levels have longer durations) and only affect yourself
• Scrolls last for the same duration as potions, but affect everyone near you when you activate them
• Foods are like potions, but have a much longer duration (about 3x to 4x)

All of them have about the same variety of ingredients, so it doesn't really matter which one you go for, just which type of item you prefer

 

There are so many different ingredients you can get, and they all have a unique set of effects they can give to a crafted item. You can only use 6 ingredients per item, although if you need more effects, you can just make another item. For example, a basic food item will just heal you slowly over time. But, take 16 pigman meat and add it to the item, it gives a percentage boost to main attack damage, although it decreases the length of the item's effects. But you can also use items to boost the duration, so if you use, say, 4 pigman meat and 2 salt, you can get the same thing with a much higher duration.
