World of Warcraft Alchemy Guide
This is a World of Warcraft Alchemy Guide. Alchemy is a profession that takes a lot of patience to collect herbs or a lot of gold to buy herbs and materials to create your potions. Click here to figure out how to get a lot of gold to help you on your path to be an awesome alchemist.
Alchemy is a very fun profession to max out. Alchemy potions are in high demand for all sorts of PvP and raid content. When you can simply collect herbs and craft your favorite buffs for raids you'll be a lot happier than when you had to depend on Joblowmomma to deliver you your Fire pots or Elixirs of the Mongoose. You can also sell these pots on the Auction House to get gold for other phat loots.
Here are the minimal and expected requirements for power leveling Alchemy to 375 in 1 sitting. Actually there are a few traveling steps at the end you'll want to do first if you actually want to power level your Alchemy from 1-375 in 1 sitting. Anyways here are the materials minimum & recommended:
- 60 Peacebloom
- 60 Silverleaf
- 15-20 Mageroyal
- 80-90 Briarthorn
- 40-50 Stranglekelp
- 30-35 Bruiseweed
- 5-10 Wild Steelbloom
- 30-40 Kingsblood
- 30-40 Liferoot
- 45-50 Goldthorn
- 15-20 Khadgar's Whisker
- 60-70 Sungrass
- 30-35 Blindweed
- 20-25 Arthas' Tears
- 40-60 Golden Sansam
- 20-30 Mountain Silversage
You'll probably want to send all these materials to the character that will be doing alchemy from an Auction House alt that grabbed them off the AH (Since you probably don't have the invetory space). I always recommend buying large quantities of alchemy materials over a long period of time to save gold. Once you've got them follow the following steps. When it says "You should be level X" if you're not level X repeat the previous step until you are. If you have the recommended alchemy materials you shouldn't need to return to the Auction House for more.

The heroic potion is a little easier to make if you can find it. Two terocones and 1 ancient lichen don't cost nearly as much on my server as the nightmare vine does.
