WoW Alchemy Guide 1 - 525

This WoW Alchemy guide will show you the fastest way how to level your Alchemy skill up from 1 to 525 as inexpensively as possible. Updated for WoW patch 4.0.6. Obviously, Alchemy is the best combined with Herbalism, with these two professions you can save a lot of gold and you can sell the potions/elixirs at the Auction House. Make sure you have enough gold to buy herbs if you don't have Herbalism, because you will need a lot of them.

Often the materials are based on a case that you will gain one skill point each craft. This won't happen, so you will have to buy a few extra materials while you are leveling your Alchemy.

Once you reach an Alchemy skill of 325 and level 68, you may begin a quest to learn one of three specializations: Potions, Elixirs or Transmutations. Being specialized gives you a chance to create an extra 1 to 4 (for a total 5) items while crafting in the field you have selected. For example, a Master of Potions may be able to craft more than one [Super Mana Potion] for the same material cost as one.

Both Elixir and Potion master requires instance runs for the quest items and it can be hard to find groups to those old instances, so here is a little trick which can save you a lot of time.

Choose the path of Transmute Master. Buy 4 [Primal Might] or farm the required materials for 4 [Primal Might]. Go to Netherstorm, talk to Transmute Master and become a Transmute Master. Unlearn your specialization by talking to the master again, then go to the Elixir Master or to the Potion Masterdepends on which path you want to choose, of course if you want to be a Transmute master, you can skip this part. It costs 150 gold each time you unlearn your specialization.

• 325-335
  10 x [Elixir of Draenic Wisdom] 10 Terocone, 10 Felweed
  Make [Mad Alchemist's Potion] if you have a lot of Ragveil.

  Make the previous recipe 5 more times if you don't have acces to Netherbloom.
