Enchanting and jewelry just take a long time, not much to do about that.

Alchemy can be very fast if you have the ingredients. Since alchemy mats are not limited by rank like other mats, you can farm them all yourself but that takes time too. The other option is to buy from guild traders.

I forgot to mention there are several alchemy leveling guides out there online that will help you efficiently use your mats.

All crafting skill lines level fastest with the help from friends and guild mates. Preparation and stacking as many bonuses to inspiration as possible are key.
IF you already have a completly levelled crafter character, you can do it yourself. The thing is, that you only get a fraction of inspiration from deconstructing a glyph, that your character crafted itself.
The same principle goes for all crafts, btw.

Enchanting Get a guildie to craft you a 100 glyphs with Denata and a 100 with Rekuta. Deconstruct the Denata first and the Rekuta after that. Assuming a nominal amount of bonuses, this should be enough to get one to lvl 50.
There is no need to spend skill points for levelling.

Alchemy Aquire several 4 times a hundred ingredients, that will create a potion, meaning two each will have to share at least one effect. Also, get 100 clear water or ichor (lv10 potions/poisons)
and 100 terbenthine or filtered water (lv40).
At base you'll be able to create lv10 potions, they award more inspiration per potion. A 100 of them will get you to skill rank 30ish, depending on how many inspiration bonuses you have active.
Then you'll need 3 ability points to unlock lv40 potion crafting. With those it'll be between 65 to 100 potions to level out Alchemy.

Jewelry Crafting there is sadly ni trick to fast levelling this skill line. Just deconstruct everything you get your hands on.
Crafting is not as efficient as deconstructing intricate lv50 cp160 gear. Especially from lvl30 on.
Until you get to lvl30 you can craft stacks of rings in pewter, silver, etc., but the return is greatly diminishined by skill rank, which you have to raise in order to unlock higher tier crafting.

The entire progression is intended as a race against your own gold reserves. If you are not willing to invest gold, you'll have to invest time. It's the hard truth. I am sorry to say that.

You can level Jewelry super quick by running dolmens- which is where you get mostly jewelry drops. If you are level 50, you should be getting max level gear drops- which make deconstruction of jewelry level the skill line very quickly.

Alchemy, there are guides out there which tell you exactly what ingredients and the proper order to level it quickly.

There isn't much you can do about Enchanting. I refused to pay for glyphs through traders, so just had to grind and grind and grind to get up to Level 50 in Enchanting on my first character. For later characters and because I generally do not let any node go unharvested, I made a bunch of glyphs for them to decon using Essence runes that I had in abundance (Deni, Makko, and Oko, mostly) and trying to knock down the piles of Denata and Jejota I'd accumulated. Daily writs only need Ta and Master Writs ask for Kuta or Rekuta, so those two glyphs weren't doing anything useful and I burned a lot of them on having characters level up Enchanting. You don't get much inspiration from deconning runes you make, but another character on your account counts as another character.

Alchemy needs two things. You can quickly level up to the mid teens just learning reagent effects (there's an Alchemy walkthrough for that over on Acast's site). Once you know those and have put a point into Laboratory Use (3 reagents), it's crafting a lot of multi-effect potions using the most plentiful reagents you have and the highest-level solvent you can use (have some skill points available so you can slot a point for better solvents as you level up). Those potions are pretty much useless, but you can recoup some of the expense by selling them to NPCs when you're done and they get better prices because they're multi-effect. For the harvesting, make sure you're doing your daily Alchemy writ. You'll get survey reports as reward drops, so those will be six high-yield nodes to harvest and they are instanced for you alone; don't worry about other players at the same location, they're harvesting their instances.

Jewelry is tough. It's not a real common gear drop (except at dolmen), but you still get most of your inspiration through deconning. My first character just endured the grind and bought some Intricate-traited stuff that had been listed for cheap. For second and later characters, I had them decon Ornate-traited stuff (I figured the bit of extra inspiration was worth the gold loss) and I gave them high-level jewelry (Robust, Healthy, and Arcane-traited) that I crafted specifically so they could decon it. I wasn't doing Master Writs at the time, so the mats cost wasn't a huge factor, but I also didn't improve any of the the stuff I made for them.

Provisioning was reasonably striaghtforward: make a bunch of the highest-level and highest-quality foods/bevs that I could swing with the recipes I knew and ingredients I had. The biggest pain was making sure I had skill points to slot and the gold to buy new recipes when needed. I can't remember whether I sold or destroyed that stuff, but I didn't keep it.

So I am having trouble leveling these three professions. i have deconned glyph after glyph, ring after ring, and for alchemy i run out of ingredients (flowers) really fast. i use them faster than i can farm them cause i can only harvest 1 mat per node.

would like some advice on how to level these.
thanks

The game is meant to take time. So be Patient and Enjoy levelling. Don't make it a Job! Enjoy it!

Cheers!

Oh my goodness, there is so much misinformation about alchemy leveling in this thread!

Well, dang! There went a good chunk of my unicorns and fairies. LOL!

Seriously, though, there was quite a bit of new info for me in there. Much appreciated.
