Alchemy is one of the primary professions in WoW Classic. As an alchemist, you can create elixirs and potions, which can be very useful when leveling or later in raids. To make the potions you need herbs, among other things, which is why the combination with Herbalism is ideal for Alchemy.

What’s Special About Alchemy in WoW SoD Phase 2?
