This is the time to choose your Alchemy specialization.
Alchemy specializations are most easily learned by doing the Potion Mastery quest and paying to switch to either Elixir mastery or Transmute mastery.
The Potion quest requires 5 Super Healing and 5 Super Mana potions saved from before. It also requires 5 Major Dreamless Sleep potions.
Major Dreamless Sleep Potion:
Dreaming Glory x 5
Nightmare Vine x 5
Accept the quest from Lauranna Thar’well in Cenarion Refuge in Zangarmarsh and kill High Botanist Freywinn for the Botanist’s Field Guide in The Botanica.
If you want to stay with Potion Mastery then continue with the guide. If you want to be either an Elixir or Transmute Master then speak with Lauranna Thar’well again and pay the 150 gold to drop Potion Mastery.
Speak with Lorokeem in Shattrath for Elixir Mastery or Zarevhi in Stormspire, Netherstorm for Transmute Mastery.
