About Alchemy
- Alchemy belongs to the group of Crafting Professions.
- To practice the profession you need crystal vials, which are sold by NPCs around the alchemy trainers and many other NPCs. Some recipes also require you to stand near an alchemy lab or have an Alchemist’s Stone in your bag. The prerequisites for crafting the item are always displayed with the item crafting costs.
- Alchemists process flowers and herbs collected by Herbalism scholars, but also many other different materials in the course of transmutation.
- To avoid having to buy herbs from the auction house, it’s a good idea to learn Herbalism as a second profession.
- Alchemists create potions, elixirs and flasls for daily use, but also a whole range of rare materials through transmutation.
- Flasks and potions are more effective with the alchemist himself than with non-alchemists.
- Alchemists can choose one of three specializations: Master of Elixirs, Master of Transmutation, or Master of Potions – depending on which is chosen it is possible to get more of a create item per materials used.
- Goblins have a +15 bonus to alchemy due to their Racial Better Living Through Chemistryy. This means that recipes stay orange 15 points longer, which can save materials and thus gold in many cases.
Small Tip:
Material specs are mostly designed to give you one skill point per item made (which is only guaranteed if the recipe is orange). [However, if recipes are yellow or even green, the chance to get a skill point increases only after multiple crafting. In this case, you will have to craft the suggested items a few more times (and thus, of course, buy or farm more materials).
Legion Alchemy Trainer
- Dalaran: Deucus Valdera
Leveling Legion Alchemy: 1-100
Get the quest Get Your Mix On from Deucus Valdera.
Recipes, potions and phials are sold by Patricia Egan. She is in the same room as the teacher. To complete the quest you need 9 Yseralline Seed. After completion you will learn Legion Alchemist.
1-9
5 x Ancient Mana Potion – 20 Yseralline Seed
Save for later!
9-15
6 x Ancient Healing Potion – 24 Yseralline Seed
Tipp: Buy Rank 2 of the Healing Potion from Patricia Egan! During crafting, you can discover the rank 3 recipe.
Save for later!
15-20
5 x Ancient Rejuvenation Potion – 5 Ancient Healing Potion, 5 Ancient Mana Potion
20-50
35 x Ancient Healing Potion – 140 Yseralline Seed
The recipe is yellow from 40, skill points are then no longer guaranteed and you may need to craft the recipe more times, requiring more materials than specified.
If you have already discovered the rank 3 recipe up to this point, you can use it to skill up to 70.
50-70
Many alchemy recipes are unlocked through quests at Deucus Valdera in Dalaran. The quests are focused, just follow the quest line. The Flask Recipes are sold to you by Patricia Egan after you complete Testing the Calibration (at about point 26 in the quest line).
I recommend completing every alchemy quest from the trainer. This is the only way to get all rank 1 recipes.
While crafting rank 2 potions you can discover rank 3 recipes. If you are lucky, you can use these recipes up to skill 90 if you discover rank 3!
Select one of the following options:
(You need 10 of each to finish the quest Testing the Calibration)
- 25 x Leytorrent Potion
(25 Starlight Rose, 50 Aethril, 50 Dreamleaf) - 25 x Potion of Deadly Grace
(25 Starlight Rose, 50 Fjarnskaggl, 50 Dreamleaf) - 25 x Potion of the Old War
(25 Starlight Rose, 50 Foxflower, 50 Fjarnskaggl) - 25 x Unbending Potion
(25 Starlight Rose, 50 Aethril, 50 Foxflower)
The recipe is yellow at this point und skill points are not guaranteed.
So you may need to craft the item more often than specified.
Here you get the rank 2 recipes:
- Recipe: Leytorrent Potion
Dungeon: Eye of Azshara – Last Boss Wrath of Azshara - Recipe: Potion of Deadly Grace
Dungeon: Court of Stars – Last Boss Advisor Melandrus - Recipe: Potion of the Old War
Dungeon: Arcway – Last Boss Advisor Vandros - Recipe: Unbending Potion
Dungeon: Neltharion’s Lair – Last Boss Dargrul
Alternative recipes:
If you have Blood of Sargeras left, you can also make Potion of Prolonged Power. The rank 1 recipe is a world drop, but the chance to get it is very high. You can get it during world quests or while farming!
Rank 2 you get from First Arcanist Thalyssra in Suramar if you are Revered with The Nightfallen. You can then craft this up to skill 90. If Na’zak the Fiend is the current world boss you can get Recipe: Potion of Prolonged Power from him. You can then use it to skill up to 100.
70-100
While you are making rank 2 flasks, there is a possibility of discovering rank 3. The rank 3 flasks are definitely orange up to skill 100, so if you’re lucky you’ll have to craft far less than you might think! Rank 3 flask recipes are absolutely dependent on luck. The recipe just lands in your bag and is therefore easy to miss, so don’t make too many at once and check your bags sometimes to see if you’ve gotten one yet!
Select one of the following options:
- 60 x Flask of Ten Thousand Scars
(420 Starlight Rose, 600 Aethril, 600 Dreamleaf) - 60 x Flask of the Countless Armies
(420 Starlight Rose, 600 Aethril, 600 Foxflower) - 60 x Flask of the Whispered Pact
(420 Starlight Rose, 600 Fjarnskaggl, 600 Dreamleaf) - 60 x Flask of the Seventh Demon
(420 Starlight Rose, 600 Fjarnskaggl, 600 Foxflower)
These rank 2 flask recipes are from 90 to 100 green, so you’ll probably need to make a little more than indicated.
Here you get the rank 2 recipes:
Three of them you have automatically, if you have done all quests with your alchemy trainer. The rest can be found here:
- Recipe: Flask of the Whispered Pact
Dungeon: Black Rook Hold (End Boss, Mythic or Heroic) - Recipe: Flask of the Countless Armies
Dungeon: Maw of Souls (End Boss Helya, Mythic or Heroic) - Recipe: Flask of Ten Thousand Scars
Dungeon: Halls of Valor (End Boss Odyn, Mythic or Heroic) - Recipe: Flask of the Seventh Demon
Dungeon: Vault of the Wardens (End Boss Cordana Felsong, Mythic or Heroic)
