    Zol's Guide to Alchemy (450-525)

    0) Introduction

    Hello there This is my Alchemy Guide that will get you through 450 to Illustrious (525) Alchemy.


    First of all, if you're new to the profession and want to get a head start on levelling Alchemy up before Cataclysm, I suggest you visit the guide below, which is pretty cost efficient and saves you a lot of time, and most of all guides you through every level required to get to the top:


    http://www.wow-professions.com/wowgu...ing_guide.html


    1). The Benefits of Levelling Alchemy:


    Alchemy is one of the more versatile professions in WoW, for two reasons. On the one hand, you have the option of transmutating at higher levels, which is low risk and big profit, and on the other hand, you can list potions, elixirs & flasks on the Auction House which will net you a slow and steady income.


    Alchemy has been one of the most "fashionable" professions to benefit from in Wrath because you have the option to make a big profit, and have a lot of fun with what you can do with it at the same time. There are a few things that Blizzard has added to the profession in Cataclysm which make it even better and more tempting to utilise:


    1). Flasks


    From the MMO-C Alchemy preview, we've been able to pick up some info regarding the state of flasks in the upcoming expansion.


    You'll be able to benefit to your guild's raiding experience with the new Cauldron of Battle, recipe obtained at Guild Level 5, basically gives each of your raid members a flask buff appropriate to their class/specialization.


    2) Transmutations


    There are now not one, but two metal transmutations coming in Cataclysm. You'll be able to transmute Pyrium from Elementium, and you'll be able to transmute Truegold from Pyrium, which with the expected early state of the market in Cataclysm, you'll be able to have a very low risk and very big profit from transmuting these bars.


    3) Potions.


    Hoh, boy! This specialization of Alchemy has certainly taken a left turn in Cataclysm, though it may not offer as high profit than Transmutation Specialization, and not as much cash flow from Elixir Specialization (flasks) It's certainly worth checking out!


    Blizzard has spiced up the specialization by adding a lot, and introducing arguably a new concept to Alchemy on a whole:


    For example, there's now a "Potion of Treasure Finding", potions for literally every stat offering short term boosts for approx. 4x the flask bonus, illusion potions, hell, even a teleportation potion that sends you to Deepholm!


    I personally love how they're reintroducing some of the fun concepts we saw in Alchemy back in Vanilla, and are now using to make Alchemy fun and profitable again in Cataclysm.


    2) Let's get down to business.


    Enough chit chat. Let's see what we need to get Alchemy up and running from 450-525 in no time!


    The mats you're going to require are fairly simple, but if you lack Herbalism as your gathering profession you may need to spend a fair bit on the Auction House to obtain what you need.


    From the Beta we've established that the approximate mats we're going to need are as follows:


    _______________________________________

    115 Cinderbloom - Herb, found in Hyjal/Vashjir

    65 Stormvine
    - Herb, found in Hyjal/Vashjir
    30 Azshara's Veil - Herb, found in
    Vashjir
    30 Whiptail
    - Herb, found in Tol'Barad, Uldum.
    50 Twilight Jasmine - Herb, found in Deepholm

    30 Jasper - Prospected from Obsidium Ore
    30 Nightstone - Prospected from unknown nodes.
    _______________________________________

    Now that we've established the base mats, what are we going to use them for! And when? Here's a list i've put together of the necessary things you'll need to be making to get to 525:


    Earthen Potion (Learned: 450)

    Making throughout: 450-455
    Requirements: Stormvine x10, Crystal Vial x5

    Deathbloom Venom (Learned: 455)

    Making throughout: 455-460
    Requirements: Stormvine x5, Crystal Vial x5

    Volcanic Potion (Learned: 460)

    Making throughout: 460-465
    Requirements: Cinderbloom x5, Azshara's Veil x5, Crystal Vial x5

    Potion of Concentration (Learned 465)

    Making throughout: 465-475
    Requirements: Azshara's Veil x25~, Crystal Vial x15~

    Mighty Rejuvenation Potion (Learned 475)

    Making throughout: 475-480
    Requirements: Whiptail x10, Crystal Vial x5

    Prismatic Elixir (Learned 480)

    Making throughout: 480-485
    Requirements: Cinderbloom x5, Whiptail x5, Crystal Vial x5

    Potion of the Tol'vir (Learned 485)

    Making throughout: 485-495
    Requirements: Stormvine x15~, Whiptail x15~, Crystal Vial x15~

    Elixir of the Master (Learned 495)

    Making throughout: 495-505
    Requirements: Twilight Jasmine x15, Heartblossom x15, Crystal Vial x15

    Transmute: Dream Emerald (Learned 505)

    Making throughout: 505-515
    Requirements: Jasper x35~, Stormvine x35~(Mats May Vary)

    Transmute: Demonseye (Learned 515)

    Making throughout: 515-525
    Requirements: Nightstone x35~, Twilight Jasmine x35~(Mats May Vary)

    There are of course other routes to getting to 525 Alchemy, this is the route I'll be taking on release, though.


    3). You're done! What are the spoils?


    - A low risk, High profit market.

    - A variable, and fun profession.
    - And if you're lucky enough.. the Vial of Sands.

    I'll update this guide regularly, for now enjoy!
