Alchemy Leveling Guide 1–450

Every recipe, in the exact order that gets you there cheapest, with the full herb, fish and vial shopping list totaled up front — built and mat-counted for Warmane's Icecrown (x3) realm.

Icecrown x3Realm
This list gets you there roughly 98% reliably — here's the other 2%.

Recipes near the top of a bracket are already yellow, not orange — a real per-craft chance to skill up, not a guarantee. Tinker counts below are realistic crafts-needed, not the theoretical minimum, but a bracket can occasionally need 1–2 extra crafts of the same recipe. Keep a few spare mats in reserve for a safety margin.

The last stretch (417–450) uses a second, independently-sourced route once our own tested data reached its Mercurial Alchemist Stone milestone — Transmute: Earthsiege Diamond, then a Flask — cross-checked against real Wowhead reagent costs the same way as everything above.
