Alchemy in WoW Forever
Alchemists brew herbs into potions that heal you in a pinch, elixirs and flasks that make you stronger for a while, and transmutes that turn one material into a rarer one. Every class drinks them, and raiders go through a lot.
Good first profession? Yes, with Herbalism. You brew your own potions from the herbs you pick, and use or sell the rest.
How it works in Classic.
What it makes
- Potions
- Quick health, mana and other help in the middle of a fight, starting with the humble Minor Mana Potion.
- Elixirs and flasks
- Buffs that last a while, popular for dungeons and raids. A Flask of the Titans, which raises your maximum health, is the one tanks ask for.
- Transmutes
- Turn one material into another, rarer one, such as an Arcanite Bar.
- Weapon oils
- Coat a weapon for a short boost.
Pairs with
Alchemy runs on herbs, so most alchemists also take Herbalism.
Who it suits
Every class drinks potions and elixirs, so Alchemy suits anyone. It’s a favorite of raiders, who need a lot of them.
