You can make a lot of gold in World of Warcraft® with alchemy by simply making and selling potions. While most of the gold can be made at higher skills (as is the case with most professions); some of the lower level potions can be profitable. Many of these lower level recipes are used as components in recipes of other trade skills.
For Auction prices, I’ve included 2 values. The top value assumes that only one of each item results from the recipe. The bottom value takes into account mastery skill and estimates that 1.2 (20% proc rate) items are created.
Profitable values are shown in green. All prices are based on average auction house sales across all realms. This page shows only the most profitable recipes, but you can click one of the above links to see all recipes.
