Vanilla Edition.
This list is from More Magic and Mayhem, and presents more variety of potions and alchemical products for your alchemist to make, craft, and discover. You have to admit, World of Warcraft Alchemy is very good -- although this only covers the potions from Vanilla WoW: when you have humans vs. the Forsaken, Night Elves vs. Orcs, Tauren vs. the Dwarves, and Jungle Trolls vs. the gnomes. And there wasn't so many changes to WoW that the RPG side of WoW couldn't keep up.
ArtHaus (White Wolf) couldn't keep the WoW RPG going because of Blizzard itself, and the massive changes happening (Pathfinder coming in to keep 3.5 alive, etc._ This list requires More Magic and Mayhem, mostly to protect the innocent. And names have been changed -- so as to protect the Innocent.
In World of Warcraft, the concoctions and Chymical mixtures your alchemist can brew is divided into four types:
Draughts: Draughts are mixtures that allow the imbiber to recover something that has been depleted. Draughts include healing mixtures, mana tinctures and a small variety of other substances. Draughts work immediately — they do not have a duration. However, draughts are difficult on the constitutions of those who drink them, and cannot be consumed more than once an hour. Attempting to consume another draught before this hour elapses causes the character to vomit up the draught (so it has no effect) and be sickened for 30 minutes.
Philters: A philter either augments already existing abilities or grants entirely new ones. Philters grant their benefits for a specific period of time, though the bonuses that they grant are explicitly non-stacking: Those who gain bonuses to a trait from a philter and any other source
at the same time gain only the benefits of the best source. Each philter has a listed duration, and philters may be drunk once per round, with no unpleasant effects.
Alchemical Oils: Alchemical oils are not directly consumed; rather, they are applied to weapons and armors to grant them certain benefits. All alchemical oils last for 30 minutes before the effects wear off. Like philters, the bonuses from alchemical oils are explicitly non-stacking. Note that alchemical oils are not the same as magic oils, which are a category of magic item; thus, oils created through alchemy are always preceded by the word “alchemical.”
Transmutations: The final kind of product is perhaps the strangest of them all. True alchemists are capable of transmuting certain materials into rarer, more alchemically pure materials. All transmutations require the use of the philosopher’s stone, the making of which is the first transmutation the alchemist undertakes. In game mechanics, these processes allow the alchemist to expend experience points, transforming them into a gold piece value that can then be applied toward certain ends. Each transmutation has a base cost listed, which represents the purchase of the raw materials.
Next: The list, when I get back.

Minor Healing Draught: The crimson liquid of this draught heals the drinker for 1d6 hit points.
Draught; Craft (alchemy) 4 ranks; Price 40 gp.Weak Troll’s Blood Philter: Those who consume this philter regain 1 hit point every other round for 1 hour.
Philter; Craft (alchemy) 5 ranks; Price 50 gp.
Lets compare these two for a second.
In the game, the weakest potion recovers about 50 health immediatelly, while the troll blood recovers 2 per second for 30 minutes (1 hour only if you were an expert alchemist).But here you converted that 50 to 1d6, which is fair to me, its similar to 1d8+1, but cheaper and doesnt require access to healing spells, or a feat, for that matter. I would go beyond and make it 1d4 instead, for the sake of simplicity to make (DC 14 is pretty easy).
But the troll blood, on the other hand, is way stronger than the draught. That 1 hit point every other round is 5 health per minute. You can drink it outside combate, rest for a while and you will be at full health.
By the time that 1 hour (or 30 minutes) has elapsed, the character has recovered a potential of 300 total hit points (if my math is correct) or 150 if we limit it to 30 minutes duration.
Considering how the potion is actually very weak in the game, i suggest making it 1 hit point per minute.
Minor Mana Draught: This dark blue liquid grants its consumer 2 levels of spell slots.
Draught; Craft (alchemy) 6 ranks; Price 60 gp.
Make it one spell slot and it is balanced with similar items of that level (read: scrolls, 50 gp), and then you have two options:
1) Since it doesnt need to be prepared beforehand, in the case of wizards and clerics, they would have to prepare a new spell in that empty slot, just as if they had an empty slot during their preparation time.2) Recover an used spell as if they hadnt cast it yet that day.
I like both mechanics.
@other levels: I will take a look later, but keep these two balancing points into consideration.
cool idea. Though allot of these outshine similar alchemical items a bit IMO.

Yeah, this is pretty much a direct list. I can refine it later. :)
[u]White Wolf[/u]'s staff wasn't very good at keeping a balance for d20, with how easy potions are actually made. The potions are a bit overpowered when used in regular d20, although the use for Alchemy was revolutionary at the time (the best parts about More Magic and Mayhem wasn't the spells -- it was the magic items, the alchemy rules, and the additional Enchanting rules).
Yeah, they do. However, if you notice, I stripped the feats away. The feats (I tried to test this in actual play, but the player made a pathfinder alchemist with the regular pathfinder rules) were the big balancing factor. Rather than kick against the pricks in this case, the feats for WoW Alchemy were not included.

Completing the list (in two parts, I think), work for balance can be done later:

Alchemical Oil of Immolation: This volatile mixture is kept tightly sealed. Unlike other alchemical oils, this oil isn’t applied to a weapon or armor. Instead, alchemical oil of immolation is like alchemist’s fire, save that it deals 4d6 points of fire damage to the target, and 2d6 points
of fire damage to those in the splash area. Alchemical oil of immolation continues to burn for 3 rounds after impact, dealing 2d6 points of fire damage to the target per round, and 1d6 points of fire damage to those who were splashed. Extinguishing the fl ames requires a full round action and a DC 22 Reflex save.

distills from them the philosopher’s stone, a piece of unique equipment that enables her to perform other transmutations. The philosopher’s stone can make the creation of high-level alchemical mixtures simpler, as well; a philosopher’s stone grants the alchemist a +2 circumstance bonus on Craft (alchemy) checks to create master-level alchemical mixtures.
Transmutation; Craft (alchemy) 18 ranks; Price 500 gp.
Wildvine Draught: This purple infusion heals its imbiber for 9d6 points of damage, as well as restoring 9 levels of spell slots.
Draught; Craft (alchemy) 18 ranks; Price 720 gp.
Dreamless Sleep Draught: This strange, pinkish mixture places its imbiber in a deep sleep that lasts for 10 rounds, during which he cannot be awakened, even by violence. The imbiber heals 1d6 hit points per round that he sleeps; additionally, when he reawakens, he regains 10 levels of spell slots.
Draught; Craft (alchemy) 18 ranks; Price 720 gp.
Philter of Detect Undead: The imbiber gains the ability to detect the presence of undead, as with the detect undead spell, for 1 hour.
Philter; Craft (alchemy) 18 ranks; Price 720 gp.

Transmute Iron to Gold: This is the raw process by which alchemists fashion gold, transmuting the base, earthly metal of iron into the exalted, celestial metal of gold. For every 1 XP and 2 gp the alchemist spends (in the process and raw materials), he gains 20 gp.
Transmutation; Craft (alchemy) 18 ranks, philosopher’s stone.
