making money with herb/alchFollow

Usually, herbalists make good money, but you CAN make a little bit of money with Alchemy. My Alchemist has Recipe: Swiftness Potion... it requires a few low level ingredients and stacks of them (on my server) sell for about 3g 50s each. Easy money because twinks will buy these alot. Thats really all i know about how to make money in Alchemy.

well it isn't exactly 10.5g... a stack of swiftness potions sell for 3.5g not a piece.

ye as i hav just hit 150 alch i can now make fire oil and blackmouth oil. i see that they require fish to make so i agree with taking up fishing as these reagants are expensive to buy i have discovered. the probelm is that i dont know where to start with fishing, i have been tained in fishing but dont really know what to do.

I said...... -.-

Is it true that Elixirs of giant growth sell for good money? I've been sitting on some deviate fish (waiting to get my recipe!!) and a friend of mine said they would sell for about 2g a stack...not as good as swiftness potions but it's what I got.

This is on Silverhand server btw :P

acozz

Hahahaha nice
4g a stack? Acozz your doing grate!! ;)
I sell my might trolls at 2g a stack, the market is one of the farstest on my server. At 2g I'm making x4 the price I payed for the mats, very good not as good as yours.

i love useing herb/alch to make cash being 300 herb and 300 alchy plus since the farmers out there raise the prices on everything =P my high lvl potions and herbs sell for tons and tons of cash if i spend time only making potions i can make a easy 1000g in 2days.

Actually, depending on his server economy, it can.

It all depends on the money he puts down initially, the cost of mats, and if a guild is doing raids that would benefit from things such as flasks(and stoneshield pots).

For a guild learning a tough encounter, a tank will be drinking some potions like water.

Swiftthisle can also be found in mageroyal

You can sell the swiftthistle in stacks to rogues, as many take up leatherworking instead of herbalism and therefore can't pick it themselves to make thistle tea with.

Same goes for fadeleaf. You can find that pretty much everywhere in STV

For the level 150-ish mark I think the above has covered it all.

Swiftness pots and Free Action will sell the best IMO.

There are always calls for Healing potions, the only problem is that on Balnazzar the server is flooded with Medium range potions and sell for about 40s each, BO give or take.

TBH, I would leave making money till around level 35 upwards, for my Shaman I did that (also herb/alch) and I just went around picking up herbs and using Auctioneer to undercut the current prices.

And a random BoE Epic drop here and there also helps :D

Anywho, for the low level person wanting to make money. Sell fish, sell Swiftness and Free Action and sell Swiftthistle, the last once sold for me at 10g BO on Balnazzar.

The TB friendly transmute (heart of fire --> elemental fire) makes much more of a profit than any transmute on my server (finally bit the bullet and got this one). As for air to fire... yeah it's good. Air to fire would net you a profit on my server too... about 5g in 24hr. Heart of fire --> elem fire is generally about 1-1.5g per 10 minutes.

As for money makers... at that level free action potions and swiftness pots are definitely a very good bet. As other have said, make sure to take up fishing too! Always calculate prices first. If you can sell the raw materials cheaper, and you aren't getting a skill up by making the potions, then sell the raw materials.

As far as alchemy at 300 goes... you'd be suprised how fast elixir of the mongoose, elixir of greater agility, elixir of brute force, major troll's blood, and greater resistance (esp fire and nature) potions put money in your pocket. That's what I like about alchemy... there's a lot of higher end potions that actually sell... and sell well.

I'd agree with the majority of the posts on here Swiftness potions will be your main money maker until you reach the 225 alch mark. My Druid (lvl27 Tauren on EURO server scarshield legion) is 225/225 alch and 201/225 herb. I found that the major potions thats I sold when in that skill range was Swiftness Potions, Rage Potions and Free Action (once high enough)and they sold for decent money too....esp Swfitness Potions. As your skill gets higher....start investing in recipe's that you will need later, for example, my druid has Nature Protection Potion (lasts an hour and soaks upto 2000 odd nature DMG - will become very handy when my server opens AQ20 and AQ40!!! ;) ) and just try and stay ahead of demand....mana/health pots always sell, whether they be minor, all the way through to major....just price them right and sell in stacks of 5/10.....(sell ALL potions in 5/10 stacks as it makes selling them 20x easier and maximises your profit!! :D

And try and invest in a herb bag (at least 12slot) and either carry it on you, or have it as one of your bank slots (you'll collect LOTS of herbs on your travels)

Fish to get additional mats for pots that you can make (deviate fish and oily blackmouth and firefin snapper for example)

If you find yourself with an excess of herbs (that you no longer need to make green+ difficulty pots, but not the right herbs to make pots, then you can always sell the herbs on there own.

So far this method of farming and production has netted my druid (which is an alt. my main is a 52 UD priest)over 57g already.......now i just need to hit 35 so i can get artisan alch, and start making some REAL cash - Stonescale Potion FTW ;)

Just my 2 cents.

ok so... i took up Alchemy on my lvl 35 warrior, in a guild with quite a few herbys, got my alchemy to lvl 300 in a few levels... (2 to be precise) and have all the recipes that were available to me... even greater arcane/shadow protection... problem is, i havent yet worked out what the best way to make money is, i'd also like to know if possible, where the arcanite transmute recipe is... as i have the basic ones *mithril to truesilver and iron to gold* and these do nothing for my income. being that the prices are actually quite similar on both start and end product.. anybody have any suggestions on how to start making money with alchemy? this is WITHOUT herbalism btw.
