375 Alchemy, what next?

I've read that you can specialize in transmuting or other things once you are maxed out on the Alchemy. Where do you do this? I have been to the Alchemy trainer in Shat and nada.|||Each specialisation requires you to do a quest. You'll need a crapload of expensive items, so you'd best search on the Wowwiki for a list of items. On that same page, you'll find that:

for the Potion mastery, go to Lauranna Thar'well in Cenarion Refuge, Zangamarsh.

for the Elixir Mastery, go to Lorokeem in Shattrath City, Terokkar Forest.

for the Transmute Mastery, go to Zarevhi in Stormspire, Netherstorm.

Oh, and in order to do the Transmute Mastery, you should first speak with the alchemist trainer in Honor Hold/Thrallmar.|||Do you have to be lvl 70? My mage is 68.

Also, can I be bothered? I know you can't answer that, LOL. I just feel with Alchemy that after picking thousands of herbs and making endless items the only one that justifies the use of much more valuable materials is Mad Alchemist Potion. I just sell all my herbs now because the top level elixirs and potions sell for a fraction of the mats. Many of them don't even sell.

I do transmute a primal earth to a primal life once a day, that's a profit.

Thanks for the info, I will look stuff up now :)|||min is 68, with 325 skill.

and i'd make elixirs, potions and transmutes anyway just for the discoveries. but that's just me.|||If you choose to go the route of Potion Master you will need to be 70 (Unless you are a Druid) as it requires a trip into BOT.|||i reccomend you go elixr, a 5 proc on a flask is cause for celebration|||Does anyone have a link which tells you what you can make with each choice? Haven't found that on Wowwiki but maybe I'm just dense.

I have had 2 discoveries with transmuting. Never ever had a discovery with anything else.|||you can make everything, its just that with a certain spec, you have a chance to make more than 1 of a certain item. like if you are potion you can make more that one potion or elixer more than 1 elixer (for the ingrediants of 1). Transmutes are good when you get that 5 proc on a primal might, but it has a CD so I dont reccomend it. Elixer procs can be a good money maker too and there ia no CD so that 5 proc on the flask of relentless assult makes you 200g and you can keep making them to try to get procs. potion spec is a reletively low money maker (It can make money but because potions are worth less, that 5 proc is worth little maybe a max of 50 gold and potions are not on a cooldown and sell faster than elixers. There is really no bad choice exept NOT taking a spec. Also consider the mats to spec. the mats for transmute spec is expensive :o|||Thanks for all your answers. I did a bunch of research, read some other treads and checked out the AH prices for mats and finished products. Made my decision and now have the Transmutation quest. My reasons for choosing Transmutation are not "good" reasons:

1. I am totally utterly unbearably sick of the sight of herbs. Carrying around gazillions of them, having to fly to other zones to get ones I'm missing for a particular elixir.. can't stand another day of it. I've been selling everything but Ragveil for quite some time now and I don't want to go back to having to think about them.

2. Currently at 375 with no flask or potion discoveries there is nothing I can make on my server that sells for more than the mats. The loss is usually substantial. I cannot stand making these things just to hawk them at a loss. Hoping for a proc of a desirable discovery flask just doesn't make up for this.

3. I like Primals, they are cool.

Transmuting my first Primal Might today for the quest.|||Quote:

Not anymore - remember, Netherstorm summoning restrictions have been lifted in a recent patch. ;)

Mind, levelling to 70 is still a good idea, since the best Alchemical items require that level (and a boatload of SSO/Shatar rep).
