1. Level Alchemy from 1 to 300
The Classic alchemy route opens with Minor and Lesser Healing Potions. In Forever those potions belong to First Aid, so this route starts from recipes Alchemy actually trains: elixirs and the new potion families. Every recipe below is in the Forever client, and each skill range is the client’s own yellow and green threshold.
Counts are starting budgets, not promises. A craft is only certain to give a point while the recipe is orange; the small bar under each row shows how much of it is still guaranteed. If a craft comes up empty, make a few extra of the same item instead of moving on.
Vials matter as much as herbs: Empty Vial, Leaded Vial and Crystal Vial are three different items, and a recipe only accepts the one it names. Buy vials with the herbs for the same stage — they are light, cheap and annoying to run back for.
Stage 1 of 5 · Skill 1–75
Apprentice: elixirs replace the healing potions
Learn Apprentice Alchemy at character level 5 from any alchemy trainer. At skill 50 and character level 10, buy Journeyman and the cap rises to 150. Do that before you run out of room at 75.

Every craft in this stage is orange, so each one gives a point. The Mana Well is a camp object rather than vendor trash: ten is more than one character needs, so keep a few and hand out the rest.
Stage 2 of 5 · Skill 75–150
Journeyman: two new potion lines carry the middle
At skill 125 and character level 20, visit a capital trainer for Expert Alchemy; the cap becomes 225. Both factions keep that trainer inside the city, so plan one trip rather than two.

Before you move on
Only the opening row slips into yellow: after skill 80 the last five Minor Agility crafts can come up empty. Elixir of Intellect then asks for Khadgar’s Whisker, a herb from a higher-level zone — buy that on the second trip, not the first.
Stage 3 of 5 · Skill 150–225
Expert: Arthas’ Tears and purple lotus do the work
At skill 200 and character level 35, learn Artisan Alchemy. Neither trainer sits in a capital: Kylanna Windwhisper is in Feralas for the Alliance, Rogvar in the Swamp of Sorrows for the Horde. Make the trip at 200, not at 225.

Before you move on
Greater Mender’s Potion and Greater Cleric’s Elixir share both of their herbs, so the two crafts are one shopping trip. The last two rows each end in a five-craft yellow stretch; Elixir of Frost Power wants wintersbite, and Catseye Draught wants goldthorn and fadeleaf, so buy those together.
Stage 4 of 5 · Skill 225–270
Artisan: the discolored healing line
There is no new rank here. If your cap is still 225, the next 45 points stay locked until you visit one of the two Artisan trainers above.

Superior Discolored Healing Potion restores 1500 health at once, then takes 75% of it back over time as a poison or a disease. It is an emergency button, not a replacement for a healer. Most of this row is yellow, so expect the last crafts to miss now and then.
Stage 5 of 5 · Skill 270–300
The last 30 points: two stat elixirs
Nothing to train: the recipes here sit in the last tier of the Artisan book. Check each one on your trainer before you buy its herbs — a recipe you have not learned cannot be crafted.

Both rows turn yellow before they end, so the last few crafts can miss. The Alchemy Laboratory itself needs 300 and is the first craft after this route; the camp facilities below are what you build with the skill you just paid for.
2. What Alchemy Crafts Are Worth Making in Forever?
Six Forever recipes that change what an alchemist brings to a group: three camp facilities, a heal with a cost, a tanking elixir and a burst potion.
The first camp facility an alchemist can make
The first camp facility an alchemist can make. Players sitting nearby regenerate 29 mana every five seconds; it needs a campfire and does not stack with Blessing of Wisdom.
A camp facility that produces certain reagents and keeps the Mana Well bonus
A camp facility that produces certain reagents and keeps the Mana Well bonus. It can be placed on top of an existing Mana Well to replace it, so the upgrade costs one craft instead of a second slot.
The endgame camp facility: recipes that require a laboratory can be made here, and the Mana Well bonus comes with it
The endgame camp facility: recipes that require a laboratory can be made here, and the Mana Well bonus comes with it. Same campfire rule, same shared one-hour cooldown.
1500 health in one press, then 75% of it drains back as a poison or a disease
1500 health in one press, then 75% of it drains back as a poison or a disease. Best used when a healer is already casting on you, or when the alternative is dying.
400 maximum health and 500 armor for 30 minutes
400 maximum health and 500 armor for 30 minutes. A tank or plate wearer keeps a stack for dungeon nights; it does not compete with the elixir that raises a damage stat.
47 spell damage for 30 seconds — the top of the spellblasting line
47 spell damage for 30 seconds — the top of the spellblasting line. The same ladder runs through mender’s potions (spell healing), frenzy potions (attack power) and cleric’s elixirs (healing done), so every role has a burst bottle.
