Primary crafting profession

Alchemy

Brews potions, elixirs and flasks that boost you and your group.

Overview

Alchemists turn herbs and vials into consumables for healing, mana, stats and resistances. In Forever the profession also builds a Mana Well at your camp, and its top-tier laboratory unlocks the more advanced recipes.

Works

  • Druid (2nd choice, at the level cap, with Herbalism): Herbs can be picked in form and potions drunk shapeshifted, and Alchemy at skill 20 gives the group a Mana Well.
  • Hunter (3rd choice, alt-friendly, with Herbalism): This pair gives you self-made potions, though it has no Hunter-specific payoff.
  • Mage (3rd choice, alt-friendly, with Herbalism): Alchemy brews caster elixirs and flasks, but the camp Incense Candle copies Arcane Intellect, so a Mage gains nothing from placing it.
  • Priest (3rd choice, alt-friendly, with Herbalism): Alchemy provides self-made healer elixirs.
  • Rogue (3rd choice, alt-friendly, with Herbalism): Alchemy brews melee elixirs, with no further Rogue-specific payoff.
  • Warlock (3rd choice, alt-friendly, with Herbalism): Alchemy provides self-made potions for a shadow caster.

What Forever changes

Camp items

Alchemy places a Mana Well at skill 20 (mana regeneration for everyone sitting nearby), a Fermenter at 140 that makes certain reagents, and an Alchemy Laboratory at 300 that some recipes require. Tier 2 and tier 3 items each need a Blueprint recipe item first.

New recipes

76 of the 212 Alchemy abilities in the client are new in Forever and 34 more changed from Classic Era; the highest yellow threshold is 320.

Dyes

Cerulean Dye is an Alchemy recipe made from Frilled Lichen, and dyes feed 194 Tailoring recipes, 115 of them new in Forever.
