Weapons and armor are nice, but potions are usable by everyone--and thus alchemists will always be short on flower-pickers.

Our "group" of 7 or so on Terenas (just bonemage and I are lurkers) are helping to fuel Bonemage's alchemist by gathering herbs. At least 4 of us have herbalism, and of those 3 have no production profession. After running a full party up past 50 so far, we learned what a strain professions are if you don't have multiple gatherers. So we also have extra herbs at the moment, along with an alchemist who should be consistently quite high in skill for his level (still low at this moment).
It has been nice even at low levels to have a nice set of potions available.
