actually, i dont think you get double the exp, but you get a bit more mage exp than regular hi alching. ppl alch outside of the training arena because they want spendable bankable cash, not just extra exp and cool infinity stuff. it depends on what you want i alch at any bank im at. but i dont do a lot of alching everyday, maybe one big alch project once every other week i guess. i dont know if people alch that often, like everyday. but i'd definitely stop by if there was an official alching place You can get almost 125 xp per alch if you do it right, but you would be losing money though. I alch at Party Pete's place =]
