WoW Classic Alchemy Leveling Guide

This WoW Classic Alchemy leveling guide provides a cost-efficient path from skill 1 to 300. The route is calculated using estimated ingredient costs together with each recipe's skill-up range, so cheaper recipes may be used for longer when their expected cost per skill point remains favourable.

Items marked (keep) are required by a later step, so don't sell or discard them. Quantities marked with an asterisk are estimates because yellow and green recipes don't guarantee a skill point on every craft.

Alchemy Leveling Tips

Alchemy is heavily dependent on herb prices, so the cheapest leveling route can vary depending on the relative cost of herbs used by competing recipes. A recipe with cheaper ingredients isn't necessarily the better choice if its lower skill-up chance means substantially more crafts are required.

Some potions are also ingredients for later recipes. For example, this guide has you keep the Minor Healing Potions crafted at the beginning because they are subsequently used to make Lesser Healing Potions. Buying or gathering all of your materials in advance should therefore take these reused items into account rather than treating every step independently.

Normal vs Aggressive Leveling

Enable Aggressive if you're willing to continue crafting recipes after their skill-up chance begins to fall when the estimated material savings justify the additional risk. The standard route is more conservative. Because these skill-ups are probabilistic, your actual material requirements can be slightly higher or lower than the quantities shown.
