WOW-GOLD-NEWS-World of Warcraft Alchemy Profession Guide
Alchemy allows the player to make potions for himself and others. He is also able to transmute certain essences into different types of essences and gems into Meta Gems. As an alchemist your main source of materials comes from Herbalism. Alchemy is one of the most desired professions for raiders. Since you are able to make long duration, persist through death stat potions and healing/mana potions.
Alchemy isn't a "required” profession to maximize your characters potential, like Enchanting and Jewelcrafting but it gives you the extra “Umph” that you need on certain raids.

Choosing A Second Profession
As an Alchemist your second profession choice should be Herbalism. This will make collecting materials for the potions you make free. If you have the extra gold and would like more utility with your tradeskill grab Enchanting or Jewelcrafting.
Extra Benefits to Alchemy
As an Alchemist you will be able to create potions that you can consume in the arena. These potions don’t heal you for a lot, or restore a lot of mana but are great for when you’re in a bind. Alchemists are also able to create trinkets for themselves with mediocre stats and they increase the effect of potions by 40%.
Profiting Off Alchemy
Profiting off Alchemy is very easy. People who raid are sometimes required to bring healing potions, mana potions and flasks. This makes it very easy for you to have a constant market as long as you’re making potions. Also you can profit off people who need transmutes done, which is another common thing.
Alchemists are also able to choose an Alchemy path, Potion Mastery, Elixir Mastery and Transmute Mastery. These paths allow for you to create more then one potion or elixir when doing a combine. They won’t use any extra materials, just give you more bang for your buck. The same applies for transmuting items, you may get an extra item when transmuting.
Note: When making items for other players, or transmuting alchemists usually charge more if they proc an item, or just plain don’t give it to the player. This will allow you to generate more wow gold.
