Alchemy above 225?

Quick question, and I think I have the answer already... just need verification. My skill in Alchemy & Herbalism is 225... i'm only lvl 30 though. From reading one of the posts on fishing past 225 I saw you have to be lvl 40 to raise to artisan. Is this the same with Alchemy & Herbalism? I only ask because my alchemy trainers used to show the other skill lvls and price for raising even when I was not ready yet, but even the Artisan alchemy trainer in Undercity does not show Artisan as a choice.

Just a side note... I LOVE alchemy :) Tried a bunch of other professions but this is the best one yet. Doesn't always provide the best cash but in the long run I believe it will do good with all the transmutes. Potions will probably sell better too when battlefields comes out.

Thanks for the help!

Lvl 36 Orc Shaman here and an Alchemist/Herbalist. (235/255) I was level 35 when I bought artisan skill for Alchemy in The Swamp Of Sorrows. So no need for lvl 40.

yeah i'm only lvl 23 at the moment but i'm moving up fast i'd be very surprised if i don't get to 225 before i'm lvl 30 or so... would be nice if someone knew whether it was 30 35 or nothing?

For all production professions there are level caps. 5th to learn, 10th for journeyman, 20th for expert, and 35th for artison.

I always thought this was the same for gathering profs... but I leveled herb from journeyman to expert before I hit 20 and didn't have a problem. Maybe gathering professions don't have minimum level limits.

For Herbalism there is no level limit, I was lvl 29 when I trained for artisan herbalist. For Alch it is indeed lvl 35 before you can train for artisan. Make sure you go back to that same artisan trainer when you level your alch skills, since a few more recipes will appear when you are lvl 250-270 in alch. Saves cash by not buying recipes at AH, that you can learn cheaper from trainer. Also: travel to your major cities and check the alch supplies vendors, it can be that they all sell different recipes (sometimes they have only one for sale, so go back a few times).

If I remember right the level requirement was 40 but patch 1.6 changed it to 35. Might have been 1.7.

As far as I know the primary gathering professions (Herbalism, Mining and Skinning) have no level requirements at all.

For the secondary professions (Cooking, Fishing and First Aid), the expert book requires level 20 (except Cooking?) and the artisan quest requires level 35. I'm not sure if the journeyman trainers have a level requirement however, I've seen conflicting information on the web.

The gathering professions have innate level requirements - no need for a hard-coded requirement. You basically gotta have a high enough level that you can gather in the right zone or kill the right mobs.

Skinning = 5X the level of the mob to skin...(Not sure exactly when that starts).

Yeah basically they figure if you want to do all the corpse running that you'd have to do to level herbalism to 300 by running around Ashzara at level 25 then you've earned it.
