Alchemy is a crafting profession very popularly mixed with herbalism. This aids in supply for your myriad of potions and elixirs. In addition, as your alchemy skill goes up, you will find you have the ability craft a number of other items such as more unique potions, trade goods, oils, dyes, and transmutes.

Alchemy is all about finding recipes, using them, and finding the best things that people need to use at a given time. Potions are handy, elixirs are useful for longer stretches, and raids often buy flasks to keep key members alive. Transmuted metals and materials are also in demand from other professions and particular quests.

Alchemy is easy to get started in and not too hard to level up in, though you will need to have patience and spirit willing to get materials. Materials generally are better picked by hand than bought on the open market, but the auction house can help in a pinch.

Making money in alchemy requires a certain savvy towards what people need. Trade items, potions, elixirs, flasks, and transmutes are your calling, and the more popular recipes in these categories are your friend.

Some good examples of things that sell well are:
» Health & Mana Potions
» Stat Boosting Elixirs
» Various Oils
» Higher Level Transmutes
» Newer & Older Style Flasks

While hawking your goods is nice, the auction house provides a very suitable environment to relay your goods to the rest of the world.
