An Alchemist's Guide to Gold Making
Hello there, fellow Alchemists. Are you struggling for gold after Deathwing, the Aspect of Death emerged from the Maelstrom and went on his rampage of destruction? Not a problem! This alchemy gold guide is going to help you get through these tough times. First of all I'm going to say that this guide is intended for people who have Alchemy and Herbalism as their 2 professions. Mat prices are quite high for Alchemy and a lot of the times mats will cost more than the item made.
Flasks
Flasks right now are very expensive and sell very easily. But if you are not a herbalist this is probably more of a loss than a profit. There are 5 different flasks I'm going to cover now. My advice is to look at your realm's auction house and see which one sells for the highest price.
Flask of the Draconic Mind
1xCrystal Vial
12xTwilight Jasmine
12xAzshara's Veil
6xVolatile Life
The crystal vial can be bought from a vendor. The Twilight Jasmine and Azshara's Veil can be farmed by herbalists or bought off the Auction House. If you are a herbalist and farmed the herbs you should have plenty of volatile life.
Here is a route to farm Twilight Jasmine. This requires 525 herbalism. If the image doesn't load here is the link.

Potions
I have been looking at the Auction House and found that only Potion of Treasure Finding is making a decent profit so I will only list that one.
Potion of Treasure Finding
1xCrystal Vial
4xStormvine
4xWhiptail
8xCinderbloom
6xHeartblossom
The Crystal Vial is bought from a vendor. All of the herbs can be farmed or bought from the Auction House.
All of the herb's routes can be found above.
Transmution
I'm gonna give 2 options here. I'm gonna leave the gem transmutions out. I looked at the prices of mats and found that it's a very small or no profit made from gem transmutions. The 2 transmutions share a 12 hour cooldown so you are going to have to decide on one of them.
Truegold
3xPyrium Bar
10xVolatile Fire
10xVolatile Air
10xVolatile Water
The only way to get Pyrium Bars is by either buying them from the Auction House or making them yourself, but Pyrium Bars share the same cooldown as Truegold so if you want to make it quickly I would buy them from the Auction House.
Volatile Fire can be bought from the Auction House or can be farmed from mobs on this link.

Transmute: Living Elements
15xVolatile Life
Volatile Life is normally found when gathering herbs and can be bought from the Auction House. Transmute: Living Elements turns 15 Volatile Life into 14-16 different volatiles. By going to a special zone, you can control what Volatiles are created. Here are the zones and what Volatiles are made there.
Mount Hyjal=Volatile Fire
Vashj'ir=Volatile Water
Deepholm=Volatile Earth
Uldum=Volatile Air
Twilight Highlands=Volatile Shadow
So there you have it. I haven't posted any costs due to different realms having different item prices.
