I'm trying to decide on my build. Alchemy looks neat but there are a lot of "warning doesn't work right" stickers about. Does alchemy work to the point where it's viable? Are these warnings still accurate?

The bugs with alchemy are mostly UI-related. If you are willing to work around the quirks, everything is actually fully functional. Alchemy's one of the most versatile skills, and an excellent alternative to book grinding your way through tier two.

Mostly. There is also that bug where if your potion has no duplicate items in it, then the last ingredient is not actually consumed. This has led to a lot of people rerolling their recipes until they get something with no duplicates and a rare in the last slot alphabetically.

And that's kinda goofy and unintended but we've just sort of rolled with it. We do not plan on fixing that bug until breath 4 and do not consider this bug exploitive.

Which leads to a really really useful trick for people without steady access to Blood/Soul Ice - redo your cold affinity recipe until you save the soul ice. You can't save blood ice in unholy affinity unfortunately, but you can make it so 1 soul ice will last you forever
