This is NOT a WoW Classic guide. If you play on a Classic Era, Hardcore, or Season of Discovery realm (the standalone WoW Classic client), use my WoW Classic Alchemy Leveling Guide 1-300 instead.
This page is for the "Classic" 1-300 skill bar in Retail WoW (Midnight). In your in-game profession window in Retail, this is the first skill bar labeled Classic. I call this guide "Vanilla" in the title only to keep it apart from the actual WoW Classic guide above (Blizzard naming both Classic is the reason these two guides get mixed up so often).
