I'm playing an alchemist in an upcoming game, and so far all of the craft rules are fairly terrible. First, what we have to work with:
The Comprehensive Pathfinder Guides Guide We Be Dragons The Newest Module from Zenith Games. Soar the Skies as a Dragon! Chasing the Philosopher's Stone: N. Jolly's Guide to the Pathfinder Alchemist (2015). Any update coming for the Guide to Pathfinder Races? This is for for material from Blood of Shadows (also Heroes of the Wild and the. Most out of Pathfinder Player Companion: Alchemy Manual. Will we be using the new rules subsystem for spontaneous alchemy in our campaign? DID YOU KNOW? James Jacobs’s inspirations for the alchemist class in the Pathfinder RPG Advanced Player’s Guide included Stevenson’s Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
Craft: Alchemy score of 24+2 for using a proper lab. Swift Alchemy class feature: Half the time for crafting alchemical items.
Using alchemists fire as an example, and saying I roll 20 on every check, How long given the standard rules is it going to take?
Find the item's price in silver pieces: 200 Find the item's DC: 20
Roll of 20+26=46 46x20=920 920 means we are making the item 4.6 times faster 7*24 to get the hours in a week of 168. 168/4.6=36 hours 36 cut in half thanks to swift alchemy is 18 Hours.
I'm aware you can increase the DC by 10 to make things faster, but that really only gets our range down to like 14 or less hours.
How as an accomplished alchemist, with over +20 going into alchemy, and bombs at the ready, am I taking over half a day to craft one thing of fire?
I've looked at spontaneous alchemy but that gave me a huge headache and needs simplifying. Also this campaign takes place on a boat exploring the ocean, which means I cant really just go out and buy what I need. I'm aware of the feat that uses GP instead of SP in the cost, but I have no feats available.

Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
