This WotLK Classic Alchemy Leveling guide will show you the fastest way to level your Alchemy skill up from 1 to 450 in Wrath of the Lich King Classic.
I recommend trying Zygor's 1-80 Leveling Guide if you are still leveling your character or you just started a new alt. The guide will help you to reach level 80 a lot faster.

Approximate Materials Required
Many yellow recipes are 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.
