There's been a lot of speculation about it, so let's discuss.
I think that Alchemy is for non-lazy people, because well, MAKING ALL OF THOSE CRYSTALS IS HARD!
What do you think?

I like both but I lean towards Magic.

imo, Magic is just as tedious.
Alchemy is otherwise wayy easier to start out with.
Mana pots are fffff... just. FFFFF.
There is no word to explain my undying hate for it.

Alchemy is easier.
I like it better. MP Potions suck.
But Adv. Magic is amazing.

I fail to understand your question,
Alchemy or magic?
What does it mean, or what do you want to know?
I can't figure it out by your post either:

What do you think?
speculation about what exactly?
Do you mean which is better?
I won't vote unless I know these things.

Oof. I mean - which do you prefer? There has been a lot of speculation and opinion about which is better, so which is better/prefer in your opinion?

I'm biased for Magic, but Alchemy is good in its own right, so I couldn't say which is better.
I prefer Magic, of course.

Alchemy is a good fallback for reliability, actually. I like it a lot myself.
But Magic will always have a place in my heart for big dmg bangs and tactical prowess; being unwieldy to those unacquainted with it, but those with fitness and strategy will end in memorable victories.
Well... at least, not in Mabinogi.

Well since it's possible to replicate the Advance Magics with Alchemy I'd say Alchemy is better, but I hate Alchemy so I vote Magic.

i made my decision... Im voting for magic... why? because... Golems and alchemy at SOME point are gonna get heavily Nerfed... and well i dont wanna be part of the hundreds of ppl QQing when it does..

175-350AP cost Alchemy vs 400-450AP cost Magic
B>Arat Crystals 6k each vs B>MP100s 25k
Which one is for lazy people?
Not to mention Water Cannon and Flame Burst don't need to have crystals made...
