Its a little sad to say but I never figured out how the alchemy points ever worked, even though I've been on Subeta for over 3 years. If some one would be so kinda as to explain i would greatly appreciate it.

- you need to read books to your pet. I believe 16 books = 1 alchemy point, but don't quote me on that :)

EDIT: I found THIS guide, hopefully it will explain things for you.

thanks.
