Last Updated: 2021 (Revolutionary Alchemy Meta)
If you played Hypixel SkyBlock in 2021, you know that Alchemy was one of the most controversial skills to level. Unlike Farming or Mining, Alchemy offered no cool passive abilities (besides longer potion duration) and was notoriously expensive. In 2021, the community relied heavily on a specific tool: the Alchemy XP Calculator.
