Question about Alchemy in Retail
Hey, i've been a returning player and the new crafting system is kind of overwhelming compared to the one in classic wow. I've read up on a bunch of guides and youtube videos, but im not sure if i fully grasp it yet.
Coming from classic TBC, being a potion/flask master was pretty straight forward: buy mats at a certain threshold, bulk craft potions or flasks and sell them for profit. Simple enough.
Is alchemy bulk crafting still a thing on retail? I dont fully understand it, but it seems like if i didn't level a profession right away from the beginning of the expansion launch, i will be behind forever in that profession?
TL;DR is bulk crafting potions still a thing and if yes, is it possible to level that profession up to a point where im not "behind" the market curve in e.g whatever the equivalent to potion master in TBC(20% more yield) is in retail?
