Alchemy Leveling Guide 1 – 60
Learn Alchemy Journeyman.
Learn Alchemy Expert.
25 x [Elixir of Fortitude] – 25
Wild Steelbloom, 25 Goldthorn
If you don’t have that many Goldthorn, make [Mana Potion] or [Lesser
Invisibility Potion] up to around 195.
These recipes will be yellow.
If you don’t have any Goldthorn at all, you can make [Nature Protection Potion] between 190-215,
the recipe
is sold by these vendors.
Learn Alchemy Artisan.
You can make this one up to 250 if it’s easier for you to get Sungrass instead of Blindweed.
If you are at or above level 85 and you will level Alchemy past 500, you can skip the next step.
You will use [Zen
Alchemist Stone] for transmutes. You can get this trinket from your trainer when you reach Alchemy skill
500.
You can make [Pygmy Oil] up to
385 if you can find some cheap Pygmy Suckerfish.
Once you reach an Alchemy skill of 475, 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.
Make [Mythical Mana Potion] if
Whiptail is cheaper than Heartblossom.
Learn Zen Alchemy.
From this point there are some significant changes to the leveling process. The trainers will only teach you 2
Pandarian recipes at 500 skill. These two recipes are used to unlock additional recipes. As a result there is no set
progression in crafting for skill points.
Make your trinket [Zen Alchemist Stone] if you need it.
At this point you probably discovered 5-8 new recipes. You should always prioritize potions that use Green Tea Leaf
because it can be found in every zone and most likely it is always the cheapest herb.
How to determine which potions to make:
You should save around 25 each of these herbs: Green Tea Leaf, Snow Lily and Fool’s Cap. You will need them to reach
600 from 575 when you discover the new Mana Potion recipe. It will be the only orange recipe that you can use.
