Updated for WoW patch 3.0.3

This WoW Alchemy guide will show you the fastest way how to level your Alchemy skill up from 1 to 450 as inexpensively as possible.

Alchemy is the best combined with Herbalism, with these two you can save a lot of gold, and you can sell the potions later too. Check out my Herbalism leveling guide if you want to level your Herbalism skill. If you don’t have Herbalism profession, make sure you have enough gold to buy herbs, because you will need a lot of them.

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 low on gold, I recommend you to try this Gold Making Guide, it can help you to make loads of gold. You also need to realize this is not a leveling guide, so if you are looking for a leveling guide, the best one is this 1-80 Leveling Guide
