Alchemy

Alchemy is the raid’s mana and stat-buff profession. In Forever it lost healing potions to First Aid, and in exchange got a wave of new elixirs with real stats (+25 Str and 2% crit, +400 health, 20 mp5), thrown cloud potions that debuff enemies, and the Alchemy Laboratory camp station. Four alchemists cover a 20-person raid; see Guild supply chain.

Who wants it

Every caster and healer (mana potions, Mageblood, Owl, Sages). Every melee (Grizzly, Ferocity, Frenzy). Tanks (Fortitude, Phalanx). The guild plan puts Herbalism + Alchemy on two healers, one caster and one hybrid. Classes that lean this way: Priest, Druid, Paladin (Holy), Shaman, Mage, Warlock.

Camp objects

Tier	Object	Skill	Effect	Source
1	Mana Well	20	10 to 29 mp5 scaling with level; exclusive with Blessing of Wisdom	Trainer. Peacebloom + Empty Vial
2	Fermenter	140	“Creates certain reagents”	Blueprint (item 273085), dungeon boss, source not specified

verified from the Wowhead camping guide and foreverchanges. The Deep Dive names the Alchemy Lab explicitly. See Camping.

Tips

Level Herbalism alongside and never buy herbs before 40. Kingsblood is the mid-tier chokepoint (Mageblood, Cleric’s, Arcane all eat it).
Craft the Mana Well early. It is a skill-up from 20 and a camp buff every healer in a dungeon group wants.
Take the Legacy perk Working Overtime before you push 225 to 300; it is +20% skill-up chance. See Legacy.
Post elixirs in stacks of 5 and mana potions in 5s. Post Arcanite on cooldown, or hand it to the guild blacksmith.
Merchant’s Favor recipes are not gold-purchasable. Fill crates. See Gold and economy.
