which alchemy masteryFollow

question for all alchemist.

which mastery is best for: making gold, classes, for use by toons.

your opinions would be appreciated.

Zing

Loki... want gold, dont take up a skill like Alchemy, sell herbs.

The mastery you choose is a factor of what you do with the trade. If you want to make potions make potions, if you are a elixer user, go that way, if you do a lot of transmutes .... you get the idea.

It is a matter of What YOU do and what is relevent on your server, I started wow on PvE, and swiched to PvP, and even rerolled a few tiems on diffrent PvP servers, on PvE free Action poitions were unsellable, on some PvP servers they sold like hotcakes. It all comes down to YOU and what you want.

I am thinking Elixir Mastery is the best, mainly because the ability to make double flasks...thats just awesome, plus elixirs generally take the most difficult mats and to have a chance to make double would rock.

so i was looking at the link about the discovering of a new recipe and saw that it is nothing but a hoax. I came to the realization when I took a closer look at it. The word Rejuvenation is spelled wrong in the orange text and the word potion is not capitalized either. So this guy is playin a prank on everyone.

Okay thank you for clearin that up for me. I didn't know what to believe since it was spelled wrong. I guess blizz needs to work on then grammar lol :) Thanks again

I'm sorry what?
so if you have one of these specializations you get a small proc rate that has the chance of making two?

is this only for flasks?

Would I get this proc chance for the low level things too, like say Swiftness Potions?

If I had the Master of Elixirs specializations would I some times create two swiftness potions when trying to make just 1?
thanks, M


Hey, if you did have Master of Transmutation then you could transmute... say...
'Primal Life' to 'Primal Earth' and then later 'Primal Earth' to 'Primal Life', making gold off the extra ones you get from the mastery and usesing no mats at all!! :)
(ps I'm just joking here do not go out and do this)

On my Alchemist I plumped for Transmute Mastery as a money maker (And as one of my other characters is a Jewelcrafter for the chance to make for Diamonds). So far I have had it proc twice on Primal Might transmutes (4 Primal Mights instead of 2) and once on the Diamond transmute. On my server the Primal Mights sell for roughly 150g and the diamonds a little less (120g).

So around now I am roughly equal on my investment in the quest as 4 Primal Mights was painful to farm the mats for (Which could hav been sold). However I haven't done a transmute yet which hasn't procced...

Yes it's new with the BC expansion. Check the Trade Skills FAQ for more info.

Oh kinda related, but not exactly. If you choose transmute mastery and you went ahead and used up your philosopher's stone to make alchemist's stone, would you have to create another philosopher's stone in order to do arcanite transmutes?
