To gain levels for your alchemy profession, you will have to do work orders, which is the easiest and fastest way to level up your alchemy. The closer the level of the work order is to the level of your alchemy, the faster your alchemy will level. Picking the lowest level work order available to you will guarantee you will get most of the possible rewards. You have to keep in mind that certain rewards are only available at certain level work orders..

You pick a work order from the NPC named Honir, which you can find in the alchemy chamber. After you’ve picked up a work order you select 1 of the 6 crafting tables and select the work order you want to do. The first work order asks you do make 3 Luciferin of Lamps. Once you've created 3 of the Lamps, you go back to Honir, hand in the work order, receive your reward and pick your new work order if you want to continue leveling your alchemy.

Need Ingredients?

Starting from level 10 work orders, you will have to buy some of the ingredients from the NPC called "Grad" which you can find in the same chamber. To buy ingredients, you can right click on the item a certain amount of times or you can press shift+right click which lets you enter a number. If the ingredient you’re looking for isn’t on the first page, don’t forget to look on the second page. After purchasing the ingredients, you head back to the crafting table and do the usual crafting again.

This is something you must know when you’re leveling up your alchemy profession. When you press "Craft", it will just do 1 craft for you. You can adjust this number with the little arrows which point to the left and right [increase and decrease number]. Let's say you have to craft 10's or even 100's of an item, the best thing for you to do is hit the "Craft All" button. As you expect, this will craft everything that's available.

What Are These Rewards

When you hand in a work order you will always get a reward. For alchemy, this can be Distilled Water or Lesser Catalyst and a few other items. The rewards you get from handing in work orders can be used for higher level work orders or crafting weapons or mana stones. So don’t just sell them immediately and store them in your warehouse.

That's the basics of learning the alchemy profession [and pretty much every other profession]. For questions, please use this forum thread: The Basics Of Learning The Alchemy Profession
