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.
