Alchemy allows you to craft potions, elixirs and on higher levels transmute metals and elements into other forms. Potions and elixirs are consumable which means as an Alchemist you will never run out of business, and there is an option here to earn decent money by selling your products to others.The downside is of course if you craft for your own use that you must continuously acquire herbs to make new potions as you use them up.

Alchemy goes well with Herbalism which allows you to gather the herbs you need for most of your Alchemy recipes. A few recipes require ingredients gained from Fishing, so if you decide to become al Alchemist it might be worth considering this. All classes can benefit from Alchemy although a non-healer melee class like the warrior is perhaps most likely to need potions for buffs and healing.

As you reach beyond level 225 in Alchemy you will see that protection potions like Nature and Fire Protection Potions are highly sought by raids and that your transmutation skills (requires a Philosopher’s Stone) become very useful for crafting Arcanite Bars and changing materials for high end crafting such as Elemental Earth and Elemental Fire.

Note that although the Philosopher’s Stone will become available as a trained recipe you must work hard to get to the other transmutation recipes by gaining reputation with various factions. Many of the high end potion recipes from level 275 and up are also dropped from monsters around the world and cannot be purchased from your trainer.
