This TBC Classic Alchemy Leveling guide will show you the fastest way to level your Alchemy skill up from 1 to 375 in Burning Crusade Classic. I recommend leveling Alchemy and Herbalism together because you can save a lot of gold if you can farm all the needed herbs. Check out my TBC Classic Herbalism leveling guide if you want to level Herbalism.
I recommend trying Zygor's 1-70 Leveling Guide if you are still leveling your character or you just started a new alt. The guide will help you to reach level 70 a lot faster.
Playing WotLK Classic?
Use my WotLK Alchemy leveling Guide instead. There are a few changes to trainers and recipes, so you should use the WotLK guide for the 1-375 part.
Alchemy guide sections:
- Approximate materials required
- Alchemy Trainers
- 1-60 #Apprentice
- 60-140 #Journeyman
- 140-210 #Expert
- 210-300 #Artisan
- 300-375 #Master (TBC Classic)
Approximate Materials Required:
There are many yellow recipes 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.

Alchemy Trainers
You can learn Alchemy from any of the NPCs below. Click on the links below to see the trainer's exact location. You can also walk up to a guard in any city and ask where the Alchemy trainer is, and then the trainer will be marked with a red flag on your map.

In Burning Crusade Classic, you can learn Journeyman, Expert, and Artisan Alchemy from trainers in every major city. You don't have to visit different trainers anymore.
Horde trainers:

Leveling TBC Alchemy
- 1-60
65 x Minor Healing Potion - 65 Peacebloom, 65 Silverleaf, 65 Empty VialYou'll need these later, so keep all of them.
Journeyman Alchemy
Visit your trainer and learn Journeyman Alchemy. (Requires character level 10)
- 65 - 110
65 x Lesser Healing Potion - 65 Minor Healing Potion, 65 Briarthorn
- 110 - 140
35 x Healing Potion - 35 Bruiseweed, 35 Briarthorn, 35 Leaded Vial
Expert Alchemy
Visit your trainer and learn Expert Alchemy. (Requires level 20)
140 - 210
- 140 - 155
20 x Lesser Mana Potion - 20 Mageroyal, 20 Stranglekelp, 20 Empty VialThis 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 VialIf you made Fire Oil, you could use it to make Elixir of Firepower
- 185 - 210
30 x Elixir of Agility - 30 Stranglekelp, 30 Goldthorn, 30 Leaded VialIf 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 it can take a while to respawn when someone else purchases the recipe before you.
Artisan Alchemy
Visit your trainer and learn Artisan Alchemy. (Requires level 35)
210 - 300
- 210 - 215
5 x Elixir of Greater Defense - 5 Steelbloom, 5 Goldthorn, 5 Leaded Vial
- 215 - 230
15 x Superior Healing Potion - 15 Sungrass, 15 Khadgar's Whisker, 15 Crystal Vial

Burning Crusade Classic (300-375)
You can learn the new TBC Alchemy skill from the Master Alchemy trainers at Outland.
- Alliance: Alchemist Gribble in Hellfire Peninsula.
- Horde: Apothecary Antonivich in Hellfire Peninsula.
- Both factions can learn it from Lorokeem in Shattrath City.
300 - 315
Make 15 from one of these:
- 15 x Volatile Healing Potion - 15 Golden Sansam, 15 Felweed
- 15 x Adept's Elixir - 15 Dreamfoil, 15 Felweed
- 15 x Onslaught Elixir - 15 Mountain Silversage, 15 Felweed
Alternative recipes:
If you can find cheap classic herbs, you can make a few more classic potions. But, I would only recommend making them up to 315 until you can learn Elixir of Healing Power. It's a much more useful potion that players will use in TBC during raiding, so you are not wasting your gold making almost useless potions.
These are the potions that you can make:
- 17 x Major Mana Potion - 51 Dreamfoil, 34 Icecap
- 20 x Greater Arcane Elixir - 60 Dreamfoil, 20 Mountain Silversage
- 17 x Greater Fire Protection Potion - 17 Elemental Fire, 17 Dreamfoil
- 17 x Greater Arcane Protection Potion - 17 Dream Dust, 17 Dreamfoil
315 - 330
25 x Elixir of Healing Power - 25 Golden Sansam, 25 Dreaming Glory
Alchemy Specializations
Once you reach Alchemy skill 325 and level 68, you may begin a quest to learn one of three specializations: Potion, Elixir, or Transmutation.
For information on how to choose a specialization, please see my separate guide:
Alchemy Specializations in TBC Classic
330 - 335
5 x Elixir of Draenic Wisdom - 5 Terocone, 5 Felweed
Make Mad Alchemist's Potion if you have a lot of Ragveil.
335 - 340
5 x Super Healing Potion - 10 Netherbloom, 5 Felweed
Make the previous recipe 5 more times if you don't have Netherbloom.
340 - 355
15 x Super Mana Potion - 30 Dreaming Glory, 15 Felweed
Recipe: Super Mana Potion is sold by Daga Ramba and Haalrun.
IMPORTANT: Horde players should also buy Recipe: Major Dreamless Sleep Potion because you will need it in the next step.
355 - 375
40 x Major Dreamless Sleep Potion - 40 Dreaming Glory, 40 Nightmare Vine
Recipe: Major Dreamless Sleep Potion is sold by Daga Ramba and Leeli Longhaggle
This recipe will be green for the last 3 points, so you might have to make more.
Alternative recipe:
40x Elixir of Major Shadow Power - 40 Ancient Lichen, 40 Nightmare Vine
This is a much better potion if you can buy the recipe. Shadow Priests and Warlocks use Elixir of Major Shadow Power for raiding, so you can easily sell all of these at the Auction House.
The recipe is sold by Nakodu at Shattrath City. You will need a Revered reputation with the Lower City faction to buy the recipe.
Congratulations on reaching 375! Please send feedback about the guide if you think there are parts I could improve or if you found typos, errors, or wrong material numbers!
