Welcome to the WoW Classic Profession tutorial to Alchemy. Alchemists are experts in the use of herbs and other materials to create consumable elixirs potions and flasks. These items are extensively employed in PvE and PvP, which makes Alchemy an excellent source of utility and income. The Alchemists can also carry out transmutations. It is a process that involves making materials into other things, such as Transmute: Arcanite, a highly desired end game material. Alchemy is usually paired with Herbalism to decrease or eliminate the requirement to buy materials from auction houses. Auction House.

 This guide will go over the different aspects of Alchemy such as breaking down what each consumable is and the benefits it brings, which class and second profession you may want to use as well as the locations of Alchemy trainers along with lists of recipes as well as transmutes, as well as where to find them, and an option to follow to level up your Alchemy skill points up to 300.

 Season of Mastery

 World of Warcraft Classic is getting its first "Season" that includes Season of Mastery. Seasons will consist of six content stages, which will last about 2 months each phase which will total twelve months. At the time the Season is over, players will be able to switch to permanent Classic Era realms before Season servers go down. Season of Mastery will feature speedier leveling, new raid mechanics, the removal of world-wide buffs in raids, and a myriad of other changes.

 The benefits of Alchemy

 The art of alchemy can be learned as early as Level 1 and , unless access to the herbs through another method, it's highly recommended to combine it with the profession of gathering, Herbalism. As you collect various herbs throughout your journey, you'll be able to transform them into:

 1. Elixirs last for a longer duration, often enhancing a player's secondary stats. One example of a well-known Elixir from WoW Classic can be Elixir of the Mongoose. If you die, you get rid of this bonus.

 2. Potions are usually a short burst of any kind of boost that is instant or limited uptime. The Major Healing Potion along with Major Mana Potion are great examples, as well as Limited Invulnerability Potion. Excellent for both PvE as well as PvP. Potions can be used in a variety of ways during a fight, as they only have a short time to cooldown.

 3. Flasks - powerful boosts that last longer, with their effects lasting until the end of. They usually require rarer materials such as Black Lotus and encouraged use is for raiding. For instance, Flask of the Titans and Flask of Distilled Wisdom. Flasks in WoW Classic can only be made through Alchemy Labs.

 4. Transmutes are the capability to transform two materials into a powerful product, with typically a 24 hour cooling down. The ability must be learned through recipes like the recipe for Transmuting Arcanite which then allows the transmutation of Arcanite. Arcanite Bar is extremely powerful, needed for iconic items such as Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker and Nightfall.

 5. Oils - typically produced from fish caught from fishing, and a reagent needed to make other Alchemy items such as Blackmouth Oil.

 Best Professions to Pair with Alchemy

 Alchemy can be paired and is a good match with Herbalism and Fishing, as reagents from those fields are required for potions, flasks and Elixirs. At higher levels, Mining ore is required to transmute.

 The Best Classes to Learn About Alchemy

 The field of Alchemy is one to be pursuing, regardless your class, if you are looking for content that is endgame-related. Alchemy can allow you to make a variety of consumables to enhance your performance during dungeons and raids.

 Alchemy Trainer Locations in WoW Classic

 Apprentice and Journeyman Alchemy Trainers can be located in major cities. If you're not sure of the location, ask a city guard for assistance and they will display a red flag with a gold ! in your maps. It is possible to train Journeyman Alchemy up to level 10 and Alchemy Skill 50.

 Alchemy Transmutes in WoW Classic

 One of the perks to being an Alchemist in WoW Classic is Transmutes. Transmutes are cooldowns that Alchemists are able to utilize to transform certain materials into another. Transmutes' cooldowns can vary between 1 and 2 days. They require you to possess a Philosopher's Stone. The most popular transmute has to be Transmute: Arcanite, which is the only way to acquire Arcanite Bar which is a highly sought-after mineral that is required to create Nightfall and Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker.

 Alchemy Labs & Flasks

 As mentioned earlier, Flasks are powerful buffs that persist through death and last up to 2 hours. Only an individual flask boost at a time. They do cost quite a lot to make, as they require high-end and expensive materials. Black Lotus is the most noteworthy as it is super competitive to come by. Black Lotus only spawn in generally difficult-to-access, higher-level areas with at least one hour Respawn time.

 Here are the recipes for the 5 Flasks found in WoW Classic as well as where to find them:

 A Flask with Chromatic Resistance - Drops from Gyth in the Upper Blackrock Spire. It is used for encounters that require strong resistances.

 A Flask of Distilled Wisdom - It is available on Balnazzar inside Stratholme Live. Mostly used by healers needing additional mana to progress, before they can get powerful mana regens from gear.

 Flask of Petrification - Random World Drop. This isn't a common item for its purpose, but it is useful because it shields players from attacks for a minute. Tanks are able to use it in the event that their healers run out of mana, or the boss is about to get angry, a tank can pop this flask , and then buy additional time to complete the remainder of your raid.

 Flask of Ultimate Power Drops from Ras Frostwhisper on Scholomance. Casters who deal damage such as Mages and Warlocks trying to push more damage into fights that are in progression.

 Flasks of the Titans drops from General Drakkisath in Upper Blackrock Spire. Since its effects increase health, Tanks will commonly utilize this flask. However, in fights where survivability is an issue, DPS will use this as well--not to mention PvP.

 Elixirs

 Unlike Flasks and Flasks, you'll lose the effects of Elixirs once you die. However, you could have multiple elixirs up at at time, as long as they do not provide the same effects.

 Elixir of the Mongoose The drop of Satyrs within Jadefire Run, Felwood. The item is used by Melee DPS as well as Hunters to increase damage.

 Elixir Shadow Power - Sold by Maria Lumere and Algernon for 1. It is used by Warlocks and Shadow Priests.

 Greater Arcane Elixir, a rare world drop. It is used by all casters DPS.

 Elixir to Greater Firepower - A rare drop of Dark Iron Dwarves in Searing Gorge. It is used by Fire Mages.

 Elixir of Frost Power A seasonal reward from being the Mean One... during the Feast of Winter Veil. It is used by Frost Mages.

 Elixir of Sages - A rare drop found in Scarlet Crusade Mobs in Eastern Plaguelands. This is a common use for healers and casters.

 Elixir of Superior Defense - Sold by Kor'geld/Soolieberryfizz for 120. Used by tanks when dealing against enemies with strong melee attacks and abilities.

 Gift of Arthas The gift of arthas is dropped on the part of Skeletal Flayer in Western Plaguelands. Tanks can use it to boost their shadow resistance and increase their group's combat DPS damage.

 Final Thoughts

 Alchemy is a fun job that can prove extremely beneficial if you decide to sell elixirs and potions through the Auction House, or help contribute to your guild. In the introduction, I highly suggest combining this profession with Herbalism. However, if you have access to a variety of herbs from other sources You are free to choose another profession as well as Alchemy.
