A few hours into the game... And there's a lot being thrown at me. I still don't really get what alchemy is all about.

Alchemy is by far the trickiest tree to spec into, I personally wouldn't recommend it for first time players. While an Alchemy focused build can be very effective when done right, there is a lot of upkeep you have to remember to do, reapplying oils and retaking potions and such, and you also have to research monsters and learn what oils and potions are most effective for each enemy type. You're better off going with a Combat or Sign focused build on your first playthrough simply because they are easier playstyles, only taking the time to drink potions or apply oils before particularly tough fights.

That and save often, that is a good tip for all players.

First playthrough... You're assuming I'm gonna play this game more than I'm likely to lol.

As a general question, I can't seem to get the custom waypoints to work. When I hold X (playing on XBox One) it just brings up a custom marker instead.
