How to choose Alchemy Specialization in WoW SoD Phase 3

Time to multiply.

In World of Warcraft: Season of Discovery, you have a vast array of options that just weren't available in the original WoW Classic back in 2004. One of these options is Alchemy Specialization. If you are looking to add this chance to your Alchemist in SoD, you'll need to complete a quest chain.

To get started getting Alchemy Specialization for your Alchemy Profession, you will need to head to Steamwheedle Port in Tanaris. In this port town, you can find an NPC named Mixmaster Blix (67,22), and he will give you a quest called Mixology for Fun and Profit. The NPC standing next to him, Crimeon Leblade, can give you the Transmute Spec quest as well. If you choose the Transmute, you will need to return to Crimeon Leblade with three Arcanite Bars. If you want Alch Spec, you'll need to bring Blix back 10 Elixirs of Demonslaying, 10 Invisibility Potions, and five Elixirs of Sages. As of time of writing, there is no feedback whatsoever in the game to prove your Alch Spec is now active, but I promise it will be after you complete Mixology for Fun and Profit.

Once you have Alch Spec, you have a chance to make one to four additional potions of the same type without using any extra materials. This means that, on average, you'll make about a third again the number of potions you set out to make. So if you have the mats for 30 healing potions, you will most likely make 40 instead. Since the chance seems to be completely random, it's hard to nail down exactly what percentage of additional potions you may craft.
