The info is definitely good and helpful, but the starting recipes could not get worse. First of all the distiller water took me until level 11, it is the most cheapest recipe I think for any crafting to get 10+ levels out of. And then I used fine sand from NPC's to make crystals into shards from 11 to 20. At 11, it was a little tough but you manage through it as long as you're paying attention to the craft instead of the TV. It's cheap and actually gives you shard to make your future recipes. Gave 400+ alchemy exp and 11, around 275-300 at 15' and so on.
