WoW Alchemy Guide 1 - 525
This WoW Alchemy guide will show you the fastest way how to level your Alchemy skill up from 1 to 525 as inexpensively as possible. The guide is updated for Astral-WoW by Dagdha.
Obviously, Alchemy is the best combined with Herbalism, with these two professions you can save a lot of gold and you can sell the potions/elixirs at the Auction House. Check out my Herbalism leveling guide if you want to level Herbalism. Make sure you have enough gold to buy herbs if you don't have Herbalism, because you will need a lot of them.
Often the materials are based on a case that you will gain one skill point each craft. This won't happen, so you will have to buy a few extra materials while you are leveling your Alchemy.
If you are still leveling your character or you just started a new alt, I recommend you to use a leveling guide. You can level your character to Level 85 in 8 days with this Guide.
