To Power Level Alchemy you will need a lot of herbs. You will either have to be a herbalism profession or buy the herbs from the auction house. Check out our Herbalism Power Leveling Guide Here. This may be expensive, if you dont have enough gold make sure you check out this page. It is always nice to be a level 375 alchemist because alchemists are highly needed in PVP situations. You will also be much more useful to your guild if you are in one.
The following is one of the most cost-efficient ways of power leveling Alchemy in World of Warcraft. You may want to make a list of the ammount of each herb or item you need as some items need the same herbs or reagants.

- As an apprentice you will want to make Minor Healing Potions. You will be making these to around level 60 alchemy and will need 60 Peacebloom, 60 Silverleaf and 60 Empty Vials.

Levels 55-125 Journeyman Alchemist
- From level 60-110 you are going to be making Lesser Healing Potions. You will need 50 (people are reporting more to reach 110 so I suggest closer to 70) Minor Healing Potions and 50 Briarthorn.

Additional Alchemy Tips: For Grand Master Alchemy it is recommended that you have herbalism at a decent level as it might be hard to find the items you need on AH. We have a free herbalism guide. Check out our Herbalism Power Leveling Guide Here. As time goes by however, WotLK will be played more and the items will stock up on AH. It is also recommended that you have an Alchemist Stone or something like it as these items can help you out HUGE in the long run.

Incorrect:Runic Mana Potions
To make 15 you need 30 Lichbloom and 15 goldclover 15 Imbued vial
December 28th, 2009 at 5:47 pm
The Lesser Healing Potion is incorrect, it takes more than 50 to reach level 110, 50 Lesser Healing will bring you to about 100.
