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.
Shopping List
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.
Classic Trainers (1-300)
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
- Yelmak in Orgrimmar.
- Doctor Herbert Halsey in Undercity.
- Bena Winterhoof in Thunder Bluff
- Camberon in Silvermoon City
Alliance trainers
- Tally Berryfizz in Ironforge.
- Lilyssia Nightbreeze in Stormwind City.

- Both factions can learn it from Lorokeem in Shattrath City.
Leveling TBC Alchemy
- 1-60 65x Minor Healing Potion – 65 Peacebloom, 65 Silverleaf, 65 Empty Vial You'll need these later, so keep all of them.
Journeyman Alchemy
Visit your trainer and learn Journeyman Alchemy. (Requires character level 10)
- 60 – 110 65x Lesser Healing Potion – 65 Minor Healing Potion, 65 Briarthorn
- 110 – 140 35x 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 20x Lesser Mana Potion – 20 Mageroyal, 20 Stranglekelp, 20 Empty Vial This 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 35x Greater Healing Potion – 35 Liferoot, 35 Kingsblood, 35 Leaded Vial If you made Fire Oil, you could use it to make Elixir of Firepower
- 185 – 210 30x Elixir of Agility – 30 Stranglekelp, 30 Goldthorn, 30 Leaded Vial If 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 5x Elixir of Greater Defense – 5 Steelbloom, 5 Goldthorn, 5 Leaded Vial
- 215 – 230 15x Superior Healing Potion – 15 Sungrass, 15 Khadgar's Whisker, 15 Crystal Vial
- 230 – 265 45x Elixir of Detect Undead – 45 Arthas' Tears, 45 Crystal Vial

- 285 – 300 20x Major Healing Potion – 40 Golden Sansam, 20 Mountain Silversage, 20 Crystal Vial
Burning Crusade Classic (300-375)
You can learn the new TBC Alchemy skill from the Master Alchemy trainers in 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:
- 15x Volatile Healing Potion – 15 Golden Sansam, 15 Felweed
- 15x Adept's Elixir – 15 Dreamfoil, 15 Felweed
- 15x 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:
- 17x Major Mana Potion – 51 Dreamfoil, 34 Icecap
- 20x Greater Arcane Elixir – 60 Dreamfoil, 20 Mountain Silversage
- 17x Greater Fire Protection Potion – 17 Elemental Fire, 17 Dreamfoil
- 17x Greater Arcane Protection Potion – 17 Dream Dust, 17 Dreamfoil
315 – 330
25x 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
5x Elixir of Draenic Wisdom – 5 Terocone, 5 Felweed
Make Mad Alchemist's Potion if you have a lot of Ragveil.
335 – 340
5x Super Healing Potion – 10 Netherbloom, 5 Felweed
Make the previous recipe 5 more times if you don't have Netherbloom.
340 – 355
15x 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
40x 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!
