Why Alchemy x 5 ?

[daanji]

Ualaa, how many alchemists are you up to?

I'm just curious.

I'm been working on a fleet of alchemists, I'm now up to 12.

[Ualaa]

Thirty four.

But have not done the alchemy stuff in a month or so.
Probably should if I have them.
But am only really logging one team on, for a few hours a week for the weekly Conquest point cap... and playing a fair bit of Starcraft II.

Damn.

With 12, I've maxed out what I can do. I need to raise more teams to level 75 to continue building my alchemist army.

Cool cats roll with no professions.

I see a number of 4 DK 1 Healer teams with 5 x Alchemy. Is alchemy good for PvP? Or is everyone taking Alchemy just for the mount?

I took it, and mosg2 took it for the truegold xmutes when cata started, and they were worth a LOT of gold.. now i just got it on my mages for the amazing trinket.

• Alchemy is one of the easiest professions to level.
• It gives you an incredible trinket (and is even more beneficial for multiple-role classes b/c you get an incredible trinket for multiple roles like +int for healing and +stam for tanking).
• It makes your mana or health potions return a whopping 40% more mana or health than normal. This will be even more powerful with all the incoming mana return ability nerfs in 4.2.
• It gives your flasks double the duration.
• It allows you to make cauldrons (flasks for the whole party/raid).
• It allows you to transmute Volatile Life to Volitle Air/Water/Fire or create Truegold.

I just finished up another three this weekend (from 0 to 525). I now have 31, 29 of which are Master Transmuters. I'm done for now, none of my 40 level 85s is without 525 alchemy or two other maxxed out professions, so I sent the remainder of my mats to multibocks to start working on his guys..

And lastly, CURSE YOU FOR HAVING MORE THAN ME UALAA!!!! I HOPE YOU BURN IN...

Actually, I'm quite happy to let you wear that crown. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy

[Multibocks]

And they are up to 250 already. They would be 525, but I did engineering first. Thanks Merc

Do you guys just buy the mats for all those alchs? or farm it? Also.. is there a good list of mats needed to get maxed?

I use those guides mostly. They're pretty solid. There are cheaper ways to level in some cases, but in general they're good.

I'm up to 12 alchemists, all master transmutation spec. I need to level more character to level 75 if I want more.


However, I'm on a medium to low pop server. With my Volatile Life --> Volatile Air x12 transmute, I can easily saturate the AH which simply drives the price down. I end up with a huge stockpile of air that I can't sell.

SO I"ve been diversifying my transmutes a bit, making some truegold, air, fire, and water.

Wish I was on a high pop server
