I got a noob question for an alchemist. Basically, I want my alchemist to be able to solo some MVPs (if that is possible) with ADs. Anyone who can help out with my dreams?
And how do I use Potion Pitcher? I tried to use it on my homunculus but no results.

You have to make sure you have the correct potion for the level of the skill you are using, so check that, OH and make sure they arn't in your cart!!! (I have done that so many times...) ummmmm hmmmm I can't think of any other reason it wouldn't work :< I will jump on my Creator later and look some more into it though to be sure I didn't forget anything else that could do it...

As for soloing MVPs, it's totaly doable!!! With some restrictions of course :P part one is having a Homunculus that can tank the MVP and the mobs, most are good at this because Homu flee/Def isn't lowered by the number of monsters attacking (unlike player flee/def) so they can handle reasonable sized mobs. I know a lot of people who choose lif for this because of Emergancy Avoid and the fact that they have their own better version of a potion pitcher. But with enough leveling, other Homus can work as well!
Next step is knowing how Acid Demo works, it hurts more the higher the VIT the target has, this has to be PURE VIT and not just Def, you can use RMS to check a monsters VIT and see if it is worth your money.
Another important factor is your INT! Make sure you max it for max damage, the formula looks like this (incase you want the real numbers):
(0.7 * Target's VIT * Creator's INT^2) / (Target's VIT + Creator's INT)
Simply put, the bigger your INT and the targets VIT, the bigger the damage, the less your homu needs to tank.

On top of all this, I would use your other stat points for DEX. Acid Demo has a cast time. Last thing you need is to be inturupted before you can blow up the MVP. Once you get to Creator it's time to start hunting equipment for MVPing, things like, a swordfish card for Stormy so you don't get frozen (I'll give you one as a present, in some armor Creators can wear) a GTB for general MVPs to help avoid the brunt of say, Earth Quake. And general equipment to add INT to yourself for even more damage. However Creators have the advantage that, as long as it has VIT, they can hurt a lot with or without Equipment, I have dropped Stormy and Eddga wearing nothing but my Bao Bao and Small Ribbons. It's a very easy to run build and I wish you luck with your Alchemist ^_^

ooh... cressy! you're a savior! I have no idea though for the equipment would be so far. I'm just aiming to get my hands on that Piamette Kaho for the time being.
