Best Stats and Gear Guide for Alchemy in The War Within

All stats have their uses, but for Alchemy we recommend focusing on Multicraft and Ingenuity for mass-producing Potions, Flasks, Phials, and Reagents.

Keep in mind that once you are fully maxed with profession skill, gear, and talents, you will be able to produce maximum rank items when using Rank 3 materials naturally, without needing to use Concentration, so at that point you should either swap all of your Ingenuity gear to Resourcefulness or use lower rank materials plus Concentration, instead.

Transmutes and Thaumaturgy can only use Ingenuity which is thus the only recommended stat if you are specializing into those.

For more information on profession stats and gear, please refer to our dedicated guide below:

Alchemists, like most other professions, can use three pieces of gear at once, 1 tool and 2 accessories. Blue-quality items are best in slot.

Item	Type	Source
Hasty Alchemist's Mixing Rod	Tool	Inscription
Patient Alchemist's Mixing Rod	Tool	Inscription
Weavercloth Alchemist's Robe	Accessory	Tailoring
Artisan Alchemist's Robe	Accessory	Tailoring
Apothecary's Cap	Accessory	Leatherworking
Nerubian Alchemist's Hat	Accessory	Leatherworking

Quality is a big factor in the stats you can get from the gear. Green versions are bind on equip and from trainer recipes, but blue versions require specialization, faction, or renown grinding for their recipe and are bind on pickup, requiring you to submit a Crafting Order for them.

Remember to enchant your crafting tool with your choice of Enchant Tool - Algari Ingenuity or Enchant Tool - Algari Resourcefulness.

You can also use the Alchemy-crafted Phials Phial of Concentrated Ingenuity, Phial of Enhanced Ambidexterity, or Phial of Bountiful Seasons during the Winter part of the year to temporarily increase your crafting stats.

Finally, consider using optional reagents such as Mirror Powder and Concentration Concentrate on expensive crafts that can benefit from their one-time boosts, as these tend to be quite cheap, especially at low ranks!

Alchemy cannot make any gear for other professions.
