Alchemy
In Alchemy you take herbs, and mix them to make a wide variety of potions, oils, elixirs and flasks that give players temporary buffs or temporary effects that are helpful for everything from healing ones self to improved spell damage or increased attack power.
Alchemists are basically your one stop chemist, for things that give you an edge in game and good ones are highly respected in raiding guilds who will use more than their fair share of pots, elixirs and flasks in a raiding week.
Without a doubt the best profession for maximum efficiency and money making to combine with Alchemy is Herbalism as you can gather your own ingredients, however at later stages in the game many high raiders will drop Herbalism once they have discovered all the flasks and will simply buy the Herbs when they need them, making for an excellent opportunity for people who keep this as a gathering skill.
I have put together a easy to follow Alchemy Guide – 1 to 375 that you can print out and follow.
