Template? Please help!

[pindulhi]

Hi! I have recently started playing again with a PvM Bard/Tamer, and I have collected lots of seeds, so I'd need a botanist template to tend them. I'm looking for a botanist template that can make the kegs, the potions, but that doesn't need to be a fighter or lumberjack since I'd get all my resources with my other characters.
So what's really necessary to make a botanist beside alchemy? I've seen a couple of templates on this forum but I'm not sure if they're what I'm looking for :S. If someone could help I'd be very thankful .

(PS: I don't really need carpentry, my brother has a carpenter)

All you need is alchemy. Maybe some magery to recall to the alchemist store to buy regs and bottles. Since the potions stack, there's no need for kegs anymore.
My "botanist" has alchemy, inscription, imbuing, magery, cooking and meditation.
Good luck!

Ok, thank you so much! So then:

Magery
Med
Alchemy
Inscription

That's all I've got so far, I'll add 2 or 3 more skills eventually,(maybe tailoring or cooking?) but for now that shall suffice hah Any comment, tips or suggestions as to where I should be taking this template would be greatly appreciated!! I'm absolutely clueless as to how to distribute my skillpoints on this template :S

I too recently started a Botanist ... going with something like this:

Alchemy
Poisoning
Taste ID
Cooking

Magery
Med
Eval


I may add spellweaving, and lower magery skills a bit, just cause I haven't used that skill before ... to mix things up.

A note, if you go with Taste ID, as discussed a few threads down ... it seemed bugged to be stuck at 75 .... I have yet to find a way to get past it ...
