From this point there are some significant changes to the leveling process. The trainers will only teach you 2 Pandarian recipes at 500 skill. These two recipes are used to unlock additional recipes. As a result there is no set progression in crafting for skill points.
Visit my Green Tea Leaf farming guide if you want to farm Green Tea Leaf. You can also find farming guides on the site for every herbs in pandaria.
- 500-530
40 x [Alchemist's Rejuvenation] or [Master Healing Potion] - 40 Green Tea Leaf
Make your trinket [Zen Alchemist Stone] if you need it.
At this point you probably discovered 5-8 new recipes. You should always prioritize potions that use Green Tea Leaf because it can be found in every zone and most likely it is always the cheapest herb.
How to determine which potions to make:
[Green Tea Leaf] > [Silkweed] > [Rain Poppy] > [Snow Lily] > [Fool's Cap]
You should save around 25 each of these herbs: Green Tea Leaf, Snow Lily and Fool's Cap. You will need them to reach 600 from 575 when you discover the new Mana Potion recipe. It will be the only orange recipe that you can use.
- 530-545
If you have loads of Green Tea Leaf, you could just make the previous potions until you keep discovering new recipes. Once you make a green potion around 8 times and there was no new discovery, you should stop making it and start making a higher level potion in the list below.
Choose only one.
- 15 x[Mantid Elixir]- 30 Green Tea Leaf
2. 15 x [Potion of the Jade Serpent] - 15 Green Tea Leaf, 15 Silkweed
3. 15 x [Elixir of Weaponry] - 30 Silkweed
4. 15 x [Potion of the Mountains] - 15 Green Tea Leaf, 15 Rain Poppy
5. 15 x [Mad Hozen Elixir]- 30 Rain Poppy

35 x [Elixir of the Rapids] 35 Snow Lily, 35 Rain Poppy
There are 3 other potions that you can discover, they require Fool's Cap instead of Snow lily, so if you have loads of Fool's Cap, you can make those potions instead.
Between 570-580, you will discover [Master Mana Potion]. When you discover the recipe, you should start making it if your skill is at around 575, but the maximum I would recommend to make the potions above is until you reach 577.
- 575-600
If you didn't discover this recipe yet because you were unlucky , you will have to make the previous recipes, or any other transmute recipe.
25 x [Master Mana Potion] - 25 Green Tea Leaf, 25 Snow Lily, 25 Fool's Cap
