Nope, just tedious, like most of these "I felt like i accomplished something!"-things, all you really accomplished was that you took a long time to do something really simple (Dig your way through half of Dulldaman for some new enchanting recipes? Was that really fun?), and going through half of Scholo (A trash-fest for most of vanilla) just to make some flasks was also overkill, putting alchemy-labs near alchemy trainers (You know, where you didn't need 4 other people to carry you there :P ) would be just as much "Flavour" for the profession and way less of a hassle...
