Alchemy 65+ - Good Skill Ups?

Alrighty, so, I'm currently 65 Alchemy, and I'm having difficulties finding something good to skill on.

Remedies = suck.
Paralysis Dust = great, but mats are almost never around.
Fixing Broken Halcyon Rods = great, but I can't get my own rod to break, or find many around on AH.
Anima = Don't have key item, or the time to farm memories for synths.

So basically I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on A. getting more mats or B. alternate, cheap synths. >..>

Any help is appreciated! ^.^
