Project Lore

Alchemy is an extremely useful profession for every class while leveling and at the endgame level. Alchemists can create potions to sway the tide of a battle, craft elixirs and flasks to enhance the user's abilities, and transmute items into raw materials for many rare and epic recipes for all crafting professions. Potions, elixirs, and flasks are created from products of herbalism while transmutes use a range of different items depending on the desired product.

Herbalism

This is the most obvious choice for a second profession as an Alchemist. Taking Herbalism along with Alchemy will allow one to farm for most of the materials needed for potions, elixirs, and flasks. Any materials not used to create potions can also be sold on the auction house.

Jewelcrafting

While not necessarily the ideal choice for pairing with alchemy, having the ability to both transmute and cut meta gems can give alchemists a good source of income on the auction house or in trade channels.

[tab:Money]

Alchemists are able to make many useful items that will sell well on the auction house. Creating normal elixirs and potions such as [Elixir of Major Agility], [Elixir of Healing Power], [Elixir of Major Shadow Power], [Elixir of Major Defense], [Super Mana Potion], or [Super Healing Potion] can give an alchemist a good source of income, especially on busy raiding nights. Flasks such as [Flask of Relentless Assault] also tend to be highly sought after. Because all of these products are consumable, they make for a steady source of income for any alchemist willing to make them.

Additionally, Transmuting items such as [Primal Might] or [Earthstorm Diamond] is also a good way to make money, either by selling the products on the auction house, or charging a fee to transmute with a customer's materials.

Alchemists should be sure to choose their specializations according to what they plan to make the most, keeping in mind that Transmutation has a 20 hour cooldown, whereas creating elixirs, flasks, or potions have none. Also, it is important to remember that flasks are affected by elixir mastery, giving additional incentive to specialize that way and discover high demand recipes.
