200-240

There are two real options here.  Option number one is to do the same thing you've always done for this level range -- pound out those elemental waters!   By this route, it takes a little under a thousand elemental stones to make it happen.  That will be far cheaper than your alternative, which is Temporal Stones.  Temporal Stones will always be in demand in the economy since they power the artifacts of the Abyss.  Again, the route to pick is highly dependent on the economy of your server and how prices are fluctuating.   Do a little research during the week before you level alchemy and you'll have your answer.

I hope you're leveling Vitality Extraction.  Finally we're getting into the realm of potions that don't suck.  You'll be cranking Greater Life Serum and Greater Mana Potions for the most part here.  Life potions are a better option if you're going to grind using them yourself, but Mana Potions traditionally sell better.  The opposite is true for the potions of health, people would generally prefer the quick fix that will save them from burst damage rather than the slow heal over time that has issues when interacting with other heals over time.  Once you get higher, switch to Greater Healing Potions.  The market for these is typically far less populated, but just like life potions they have a great use for yourself.

Do a combination of work orders and Greater Wind Serum crafting.  Remember to do the lowest available work order to get the most recipes possible for yourself.  I'd say once you get your level 35 weapons, drop the work order charade since the recipes for Alchemy generally sell for very little.  Greater Wind Serum still have a place on the market, and in your pocket.    Major Wind Serum aren't the end all, remember that.  The more potent the wing recovery, the longer the cooldown.  Relying on the most potent wind serums could lead to times you need it and the potion is still cooling--a terrible situation to say the least!

You have some more options here as well compared to the other tiers.  Critical Hit Scrolls are finally coming into their own and granting a flat 6% boost, although the materials can be expensive.  I would still do some work orders unless you plan on using what you produce yourself.  Flight and Running scrolls are up to 20% and will provide you with the most powerful weapon in the Abyss--mobility.   The reason I say yourself is .... there isn't a market for these because no one wants to settle for one step below max speed.  Don't worry, we'll get there soon.  If you've had your fill of scrolls, run the latest work orders and pick up your level 40 weapon recipes.  You may want to hold off on your level 35 weapon production until you're an expert though, as most people again don't want to settle for something inferior for the level.

With all of that done, it's time to pay a visit to the broker and sell off your proceeds.  Extra recipes will very rarely sell for more than a couple thousand each, but your actual products will sell for at least your production costs.  Potions typically sell for 2 to 4 times production cost at this level, leading to an awesome profit margin that we need to afford the next level of Alchemy!   Prepare yourself for the most grueling part, coming up next!
