The most dependable Production skill is Scrolls.
Stones are very profitable but it depends on demand which is very much a hit and miss. You may go days without selling anything then in 5 mins your shop sells out.
Potions are not profitable except if you can get all the supplies dirt cheap. Farm yourself is basically the only way to make money here and then you can only make decent money on SP/HP Potions and you will want to be working T2-T3 before they make good money. With how hard it is to find Sign of Trace T2 Potions are almost impossible to make a profit on. +% to resist potions can make you a few spare coins but they are not in demand.
Comp and Decomp can help you if you have Scroll/Stone production. This is not really a money maker cause people will expect you to comp/decomp for Alchemy Stones.
Another way to make a decent amount of money is to find a level that has a very easy repeatable quest. The Herb one from Avon at level 25 is a good one for this. Work up to that level and then get all the herbs you can find, fill your inventory out if your farming yourself. Keep all types of Herbs you get. Sage and Germ is used for Potion making and can be sold in a shop when you have that many of them. Turn in the quest but do not level, instead when you get to the point your about to level go out and die repeatedly (can get a Title for this). Then keep doing the quest over and over. This will give you 1 Roumen Scroll, 1 Elderine Scroll, +Fame and coin. Sell the Scrolls for the current market price of your server, sell the Sage and Germ at that time also. Buy Alchemy Stones from Nina with the Fame and sell them in a shop for a few coppers each. You can turn each point of Fame into like 10 coppers.
