Guild Flask and Cauldron Hotfixes (Achievement Requires 1000 Flasks Down From 10,000)

Blue Posts (Source) We’ve recently implemented a number of hotfixes directly related to guild achievements, flasks, and cauldrons. When first designing the guild achievements, we overestimated the number of flasks that guilds would be able to make by the time they reached guild level 10, and set the number of Cataclysm flasks required for the two [...]

Although once we can find Pyrite Ore at a decent price and in good quantity, we will do a prospecting test with it. It really looks promising if Volatile [...]

How To Find The Recipe For The Alchemy Mount – Vial of the Sands

Transmute Living Elements in Deepholm Bugged But Doing it in Uldum Gives Double!

Blue Post (Source) We’re aware that performing Transmute: Living Elements while in Deepholm does not currently yield any Volatile Earth and are working to apply a hotfix as we speak.

Alchemy – Transmute: Living Elements

Alchemy – Transmute: Living Elements

Depending on your realm, volatile life may be dirt cheap so doing a Transmute: Living Elements to obtain a higher value volatile is an easy way to make some gold in Cataclysm. At the moment, air and fire seem to be the most costly. Keep in mind crated level 85 items uses massive quantities of volatiles as well, [...]
