World of Warcraft Gold Guide: Alchemy Masteries and Proc Rates

Alchemy is a great profession for making gold in World of Warcraft, and one of the reasons for this is its Masteries. In this guide, we will go over the Transmog Masteries and how to use them to maximize your gold-making potential.

Elixir Mastery:

The Elixir Mastery is learned by completing a simple quest located in the Capital City of your faction. This ability allows you to have a 20% proc rate on the creation of Elixirs, which means you will on average produce an extra 20% of Elixirs when crafting.

One of the best Elixirs to craft for gold-making purposes is the Flask of Winds and the Flask of Titanic Strength, as they are used in the creation of the mount, the Vial of the Sands. This means there is a high demand for these flasks, so producing an extra 20% for no additional cost can be very profitable.

Potion Mastery:

The Potion Mastery is also learned through a quest, and it also applies a 20% proc rate on the creation of Potions. However, Potions from Mop or below are not used as much, and the demand for them varies depending on your server. Therefore, I generally skip Potion Mastery, unless you have a particular potion that is doing well on your server.

Transmutation Mastery:

The Transmutation Mastery is the one I hold in high regard. The 20% proc rate is great for generating extra gold, as the materials generated from Transmutations are very profitable to sell. The most notable items that have no daily cooldown for this mastery is Transmute Titanium Bars, Saronite Bars, Arcanite Bars and Panther mount gems which sell a little slower but are perfect for creating extra gold for those mounts.

In conclusion, having a consistent gold-making routine and utilizing these masteries can provide a significant amount of extra gold. It also reduces the cost of materials for crafted mounts, making it a great addition to any gold-making strategy.
