** Elixir of Mighty Strength, Fortitude and Agility are great for reselling, feel free to craft extra of these, you'll get your money back.

Levels 400-450: Once you're level 400 you can make Indestructible Alchemist's Stone, Mercurial Alchemist's Stone, and Mighty Alchemist's Stone, which you may find useful for yourself. You can also begin using Northrend Alchemy Research to start discovering new, unique, recipes every day. But to level as fast as possible and as cheaply as possible, follow these steps:
