Expansion: WoW Classic

Season of Discovery changes up the Classic WoW meta with lower level caps, which also limits what items you can craft and use. For the Alchemy profession, that means you’ll be crafting a lot of lower level recipes that are normally only useful for leveling.

Alchemy Leveling & Trainers

Check out our Classic Alchemy Guide for trainer locations, a leveling guide, and more.

Phase 1 Alchemy Recipes

Phase 1 of Season of Discovery comes with a level cap of 25, and a level 26 requirement for Expert skills. That means the maximum skill you can reach with professions is Journeyman, or skill level 150.

Alchemy may offer the largest number of useful recipes at level 25. Some of the highest level items you can craft will not be usable at level 25, but even many of the low level ones are useful at this level.

Here are the best Alchemy items you can craft in Phase 1 of Season of Discovery:
