WotLK Classic Alchemy Leveling Guide 1-450

This WotLK Classic Alchemy Leveling guide will show you the fastest way to level your Alchemy skill up from 1 to 450 in Wrath of the Lich King Classic.

I recommend trying Zygor's 1-80 Leveling Guide if you are still leveling your character or you just started a new alt. The guide will help you to reach level 80 a lot faster.

Approximate Materials Required

Many yellow recipes are used in the guide, which means you won't gain skill points every time. I added 10-20 extra herbs for most of these recipes, but it's still possible you will have to get a few more if you have the worst luck.

  If you don't have any Goldthorn at all, you can make Nature Protection Potion between 190-215

  Recipe: Nature Protection Potion is sold by these vendors. It's a limited supply item, so it can take a while to respawn when someone else purchases the recipe before you.

• 405 - 415
  10x Indestructible Potion - 20 Icethorn

• 425 - 430
  7x Transmute: Titanium - 56 Saronite Bar

  You will need a Philosopher's Stone for transmutes. The recipe is sold by Alchemist Pestlezugg in Tanaris.

  You can also make one of the three Alchemy Trinkets you learn from the trainer: Mercurial Alchemist Stone, Indestructible Alchemist Stone, or Mighty Alchemist Stone. They are more expensive to make, but if you are still leveling your character, these are actually pretty good trinkets for a level 75 character, so they are worth crafting.

  None of them have to be equipped to make transmutes. You just have to have them in your inventory.

430 - 435

Make 5 from one of these:

• 5x Transmute: Earthsiege Diamond - 5x Dark Jade, 5x Huge Citrine, 5x Eternal Fire
• 5x Transmute: Skyflare Diamond - 5x Bloodstone, 5x Chalcedony, 5x Eternal Air
