Classic WoW Alchemy Leveling Guide 1-300 (2024)

This Classic WoW Alchemy Leveling guide will show you the fastest way how to level your Classic Alchemy skill up from 1 to 300 as inexpensively as possible.

Alchemy is the best combined with Herbalism, with these two you can save a lot of gold because you don't have to buy the herbs from the Auction House. Check out my ClassicHerbalism leveling guide 1-300 if you want to level herbalism.

I recommend trying Zygor's 1-60 Leveling Guide if you are still leveling your character or just starting a new alt. It will help you to reach level 60 a lot faster.

There are a lot of yellow recipes used in the guide which means you won't gain skill points every single 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.

You can also walk up to a guard in any city and ask where the Alchemy trainer is, then it will be marked with a red flag on your map.

Recipe to buy

Buy the Recipe: Superior Mana Potion before you leave Darnassus / Undercity!You will need this recipe later at 265, so you can save some time if you buy it now while you are already close to the NPCs who sell it.

The recipe is sold by Ulthir in Darnassus and by Algernon in Undercity. It's a limited supply item, so just keep checking until it's back "in stock" if someone bought it before you. (or buy it from the AH)

140 - 155

20 x Lesser Mana Potion - 20 Mageroyal, 20 Stranglekelp, 20 Empty Vial

This recipe will be yellow for the last 10 points, so you might have to make a few extra.

Make Fire Oil if you don't have Stranglekelp or if Firefin Snapper is cheap. You could also continue to make more Healing Potion.

155 - 185

35 x Greater Healing Potion - 35 Liferoot, 35 Kingsblood, 35 Leaded Vial

If you made Fire Oil, you can use it to make Elixir of Firepower

185 - 210

30 x Elixir of Agility - 30 Stranglekelp, 30 Goldthorn, 30 Leaded Vial

If you don't have that many Goldthorn, make Mana Potion or Lesser Invisibility Potion up to around 195.

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 itcan take a while to respawn when someone else purchases the recipe before you.
