Alchemy was by far the most profitable profession for me in original classic, and today we’ll look at the recipes and tricks you can use .
Physical DPS is king
The physical DPS classes, warriors in particular, reign supreme in classic. by far the highest demand consumables are the ones that power up warriors as they dominate the meta game.
Important end-game recipes
Mongoose
Mongoose is the most powerful consumable in classic. It enables the strongest class in the game to go big, and is usually a fantastic seller. The recipe drops from Legashi Rogues in Azshara or Jadefire Rogues in Felwood, but it is tradeable on the AH. You can farm it yourself or look to just buy it.
Elixir of Giants
This is the other melee elixir. It is less powerful than Mongoose, but also cheaper and you can use both at the same time. The recipe is a low drop rate world drop one, so it is often a little expensive, but with the amount of warriors typically in end game classic this one is WELL worth picking up.
Arcane elixir
The Greater Arcane elixir is the BiS choice for casters, but the recipe is a rare drop from raid bosses and is usually very expensive. If you can grab it go to town, otherwise I would stick to the normal arcane elixir, which also often sells well.
Fire protection potions and Greater Fire Protection Potions
These are massive in Molten Core. The two variants are roughly equal in power, so players may opt for the cheaper protection potions over the greater ones. Both are very good, so keep them on the AH and look for cheap elemental fires or small flame sacs when you can. The greater recipe drops from mobs in Lower Blackrock spire, but it is tradeable on the AH. The Fire protection Potion is sold by [these vendor](https://www.wowhead.com/classic/item=6055/recipe-fire-protection-potion)s, in Stonetalen for Horde or in Hillsbrad for alliance.
Elixir of Shadow Power
The elixir of shadow power is the elixir of choice for warlocks and shadow priests. The recipe is sold by vendors, so it is generally quite easy to find at a reasonable price. It does not cover that many classes, but it was a staple for me in classic.
Free Action potion
The Free action potion is possibly the most powerful consumable in all of classic. it is used in both PvE and PvP. The recipe is sold by vendors in major cities, and is usually very cheap. FAPs usually sell incredibly quickly, so be prepared for some massive sales.
TSM Setup
To quickly restock and sell your potions and elixirs you can grab my setup for Tradeskillmaster below. It includes crafting operations to restock items as well as auctioning operations to post them to the AH.
