Alchemy Gold Guide: Flasks and Potions Market
How to make gold with Alchemy by supplying the flask and potion market that raiders rebuy every reset.
Flasks and combat potions are consumed every raid night, so demand is steady and sale rate is high. Specialize for extra procs, buy herbs during the weekend glut, and sell into the post-reset raid demand.

- 1
Specialize for procs

- 2
Source herbs cheaply
Buy herbs during weekend supply gluts or farm them yourself to control input cost.
- 3
Batch craft around resets
Craft ahead of the weekly reset so you have stock ready for peak raid demand.
- 4
Post in raid windows
List flasks in the evening hours when guilds are stocking for the night.
Timing
Buy herbs cheap on weekends
Sell flasks into raid nights after the weekly reset
Auction house notes
Flasks are a commodity — proc-based specialization is where the real margin comes from.
Realm & version caveats
Competition is high on big realms, but so is volume; margins are thinner but sales are faster.
Analyst takeaway
Alchemy is the most reliable profession income because consumption is guaranteed every reset. The margin lives in specialization procs, not the base recipe.
