Alchemy guide · WoW Forever

Before you begin

Alchemy turns herbs into potions and elixirs that every player buys. This road follows recipes that keep giving points, with the exact number to make at each step so you never brew a vial too many.

Herbalism is the natural partner: almost everything here is a herb plus a vial. Vials come from any alchemy or trade supplies vendor.

Good to know

  • Vials are sold by alchemy and trade supplies vendors. Herbalism is the perfect partner profession.
  • Expert Alchemy (skill 125): Ainethil (Alliance, Darnassus) / Doctor Herbert Halsey (Horde, Undercity).
  • Artisan Alchemy (skill 200, character level 35): Kylanna Windwhisper (Alliance, Feralas) / Rogvar (Horde, Swamp of Sorrows) / Master Mycologist Shurome (Felwood).
  • Orange always gives a point, yellow usually does, green only now and then. The counts include spares for the yellow and green crafts.

Elixir of Minor Force

Stop at12

Make 11 to go from 1 to 12. It is orange until 10 and yellow after that. Most yellow crafts still give a point; the count has a few spares for the ones that do not. You know the recipe from the start.
