WoD changed the way we make gold and introduced new opportunities. You can sign up right now for the Secret Gold Guide and have access to weekly gold tips and tons of bonus material.

 

Draenor Alchemy Level 1 - 700

1. Loot the Mysterious Flask from Draenor mobs which starts a questline of 4 quests.
2. Complete the 4 quests.
3. You will now have A Treatise on the Alchemy of Draenor and Garrison Blueprint: Alchemy Lab, Level 1.
   • The Treatise on the Alchemy of Draenor will upgrade your max Alchemy skill to 700 and teach you to make Secrets of Draenor Alchemy (Alchemy Lab currency).
   • The Alchemy Lab Blueprints enables you to build an Alchemy Lab in your Garrison.

*Another option for Alchemists is to buy the Treatise on the Alchemy of Draenor in Warspear of Stormshield for 100g. This will increase your max Alchemy skill to 700 but it will not provide the Garrison Blueprints to build your own lab.

 

Recipes to Level from 1 - 600

A Treatise on the Alchemy of Draenor provides the Alchemical Catalyst recipe as well as basic Alchemy recipes that give 1 skill point each up to level 600. If you're new to Alchemy and 90+ then you can create any of the recipes below over and over until you hit 600 in Alchemy.

• Alchemical Catalyst - 10 skill points with a 24 hour cool down used for greater flasks
• Secrets of Draenor Alchemy - 24 hour cool down used as currency in your Garrison Alchemy Lab
• Crescent Oil
• Draenic Mana Potion
• Draenic Swiftness Potion
• Draenic Invisibility Potion
• Draenic Water Breathing Elixir
• Draenic Living Action Potion
• Pure Rage Potion
• Draenic Water Walking Elixir

You can also create any of the Flask recipes in the 600-700 section if you want. It might be preferable if you have your Herb Garden setup in your Garrison.

 

Recipes to Level from 600 - 700

To level from 600-700 create one Secrets of Draenor Alchemy and use it to buy a recipe from your Garrison Alchemy Lab. Make this recipe 100 times or mix it up and buy all the recipes; just know that you have to create 100 total of the flasks below and all you need is 400 flowers. The Secrets of Draenor Alchemy has a 24 hour cool down so if you choose to, it will take you 4 days to buy all the recipes.

• Draenic Agility Flask - 4 Fireweed
• Draenic Intellect Flask - 4 Starflower
• Draenic Stamina Flask - 4 Talador Orchid
• Draenic Strength Flask - 4 Nagrand Arrowbloom

 

Garrison Building: Alchemy Lab

• Level 1 allows the production of Alchemy items and 7 work orders.
• Level 2 allows followers with the Alchemy trait to work there, providing a bonus and doubles work order production to 14.
• Level 3 allows 21 work orders.

Work Orders convert 5 Frostweed to one Alchemical Catalyst in 4 hours and Alchemical Catalysts are used for amazing, awesome, Draenic flasks.
