I have been trying to get My alchemy skill up, spending hours buying and selling back potions and collecting ingredients, and it hardly moves it takes me several hours just to get it up one level and trainers are 2000 gold a level and I'm only at level 70 or so. Iv even use the fortify alchemy and resting tricks to make potions better but I can seem to get this skill up any quicker. Dose anyone have any tips at all?

I thought alchemy was hard also. Now I kind of regret that I level alchemy to 70 by just using trainers.

Anyway you level according to how expensive the potions that you make are. You get price high by:
- Using Fortify alchemy enchanting
- Alchemy perks
- Other things: Sleep before leveling alchemy to get bonus / Use thiefs stone to get bonus also
- Invisibility potions are good to level with.

Thanks for the advice anything helps, I don't understand why they made it so time consuming to do
