World of Warcraft Alchemy Leveling Guide


This World of Warcraft Alchemy leveling guide will guide you in the fastest way how to level your Alchemy skill up from 1 to 525, while spending as little gold as you can. The guide is updated for WoW patch 4.3.3

Alchemy is the best combined with Herbalism, you can save a lot of gold if you level these two professions together because you can farm all the needed herbs. Check out the Herbalism leveling guide if you want to level Herbalism. If you don't have Herbalism, make sure you have enough gold because buying all the herbs off the auction house can be very expensive.

Often the materials are based on a case that you will gain one skill point each craft. This may not happen, so you may have to buy more than expected. 

If you don't have a whole lot of gold, check out some of my gold making guides or this Gold Making Addon.

If you need help leveling your Character, check out this Leveling Addon to level to 85 in 7 days or less!

  • 1-60
    59 x

    [Superior Healing Potion] - 25 Sungrass, 25 Khadgar's Whisker
    You can make this one up to 250 if it's easier for you to get Sungrass instead of Blindweed.
  • 239-240
    If you are at or above level 75 and you will level Alchemy past 500, you can skip this part. Your 
    epic Alchemy trinket will be used for transmutes.
    1 x [Philosopher's Stone] - 4 Iron Bar, 1 Black Vitriol, 4 Purple Lotus, 4 Firebloom
    You will need this for transmutes, keep it.


285 - 350 (Master)

  • 335-340
    5 x

  • 375-380
    5 x 
    [Pygmy Oil] - 5 Pygmy Suckerfish
    You can make this one up to 385 and skip the next part of the guide.
  • 385-395
    10 x 
    [Elixir of Mighty Strength] - 20 Tiger Lily
    This recipe will be yellow for the last 5 points, you might need to make more than 10.
  • 415-425
    This recipe turns green at 422, so you might need to make more than 20.
    20 x [Runic Mana Potion] - 20 Goldclover, 40 Lichbloom



425 - 525 (Illustrious)



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 [Potion of Treasure Finding] for the same material cost as one.

  • 495-504
    It is really important that you stop at 504, you will gain 10 skill points this way when you craft the next two recipes.
    9 x [Mythical Healing Potion] - 9 Twilight Jasmine
  • 504-509
    1 x 
    [Flask of Enhancement] - 8 Twilight Jasmine, 8 Stormvine, 8 Azshara's Veil, 8 Whiptail, 8 Cinderbloom
