Questions players ask next
Where do you learn the next Alchemy rank in Forever?
The Alchemy skill cap sits at 75, 150, 225 and 300, and you raise it at an Alchemy trainer. Visit the trainer before you hit each cap, or every craft past the limit is wasted.
The usual capital-city trainers apply. Dalaran in the Alterac Mountains also has an Alchemy trainer, which helps Alliance players working in that region.
Why is there no Minor Healing Potion in Forever Alchemy?
Forever removed or renamed some Classic recipes, and Minor Healing Potion is one of them. The first recipes you get are Minor Arcane Elixir and Elixir of Minor Force.
Players following an old Classic guide get stuck here in practice. Start with Minor Arcane Elixir, which is learned automatically with the profession.
Where do you get Stranglevine for Viridian Dye?
Stranglevine is a new Forever material, and Mister Graphed sells it at Powderfuse Port in the Riverglades. You need about 20 for the ten Viridian Dye crafts at 215-225.
Powderfuse Port is reached by boat from Steamwheedle Port in Tanaris. The same vendor sells Black Lotus and Arcane Crystal with no purchase limit.
What does leveling Alchemy unlock beyond potions?
Alchemy at 150, 225 and 300 each counts as a Legacy Challenge, so a capped alchemist earns three Legacy Points toward account-wide perks. The first point is earned when you hit 150.
Alchemy also ties into camping. Each profession has campsite objects with their own buffs, and the advanced Alchemy Lab comes from a Blueprint recipe dropped by specific dungeon bosses; on the beta the Alchemy campsite buff gave mana regeneration. Which bosses drop the Blueprint is not published.
Is Alchemy worth leveling in WoW: Forever?
Alchemy is a solid pick for raiders and casters, but its raid role may change. Blizzard said in an interview that Alchemy may be reworked to matter less for raiding.
Some low-level recipes were also tuned down. Elixir of Wisdom (a vendor recipe at skill 90) now gives +3 Intellect for 30 minutes instead of +6 for an hour, per Wowhead. Level it for flasks, potions and Legacy points, not on the promise that it stays mandatory.
If you would rather spend your hours leveling or running dungeons, PewPewShop's vetted human players can take on profession progression as a rent-a-pro service. The plain route above works fine on your own too.

Frequently asked questions
What is the fastest way to level Alchemy in WoW: Forever?
Use trainer recipes only and craft each one while it is orange: Minor Arcane Elixir, Elixir of Minor Strength, Minor Mana Potion, Lesser Discolored Healing Potion, Swim Speed Potion, two lesser elixirs, Viridian Dye, Transmute: Iron to Gold and Major Discolored Healing Potion. Having the materials ready before each stretch matters more than anything else.
Is there a Minor Healing Potion in WoW: Forever?
No. Forever removed or renamed some Classic recipes, and Minor Healing Potion is among them. The first Alchemy recipes are Minor Arcane Elixir, learned automatically with the profession, and Elixir of Minor Force. Older Classic guides that start with Minor Healing Potion do not match Forever.
What profession pairs best with Alchemy in WoW: Forever?
Herbalism is the natural partner. Most of the Alchemy route runs on herbs such as Wild Steelbloom, Earthroot, Silverleaf, Swiftthistle and Goldthorn, so gathering them yourself saves most of the materials cost. Vials still come from vendors, and Murloc Eyes and Iron Bars come from other sources.
Do professions give Legacy Points in WoW: Forever?
Yes. Reaching 150, 225 and 300 in each non-gathering primary profession counts as a Legacy Challenge, and each challenge gives one Legacy Point. Leveling Alchemy to 300 earns three points that are shared across your non-Hardcore characters for account-wide perks.
Where is the Black Lotus vendor in WoW: Forever?
Mister Graphed at Powderfuse Port in the Riverglades sells Black Lotus and Arcane Crystal with no purchase limit, along with newer materials such as Stranglevine and Fel Crystal. Powderfuse Port is a small goblin outpost reached by boat from Steamwheedle Port in Tanaris.
