Alchemy And Cauldrons

#1
Since a few people asked:

When an alchemist makes a "Major XXX Protection Potion" (you make a batch of 5 at a time, and it requires primals), then you have a fairly high chance of discovering the recipe for a Cauldron of Major XXX Protection".

When I say "fairly high", it seems that making anything between 1-5 batches will commonly allow you to discover the cauldron. My stats have been:

Arcane: 3 batches = discovered cauldron

Frost: 3 batches = discovered cauldron

Holy: 12 batches, no discovery *** See warning below

Shadow: 3 batches = discovered cauldron

Nature: 2 batches = discovered cauldron

Fire : <I dont have the recipe for Major Fire Protection Potion :( >

*** Regarding Holy; after using a lot of mats trying to do this, I decided to check forums etc; it's unclear whether a Holy Cauldron even exists, so suggest you save your mats, wish I had :(

Hopefully the Nature and Frost cauldrons especially should be useful to us once we're in SSC (they allow you to make 25 protection pots from roughly the same level of mats that would have been required for 10 pots normally).

As.

Do realise that the pots are somewhat different then the pre-tbc resistance pots. Pre tbc you took a pot and it lasted for an hour, so you could chuck a pot pre-fight so your pot cooldown would be over by the time the fight started. You could then chuck another pot in combat or mana/health pots.

These new pots however only last 2 minutes so you will have to use them in combat when you need them, which kinda sucks if your a healer and have to take mana pots aswell, which you can't then because of the 2 minute pot cooldown it triggers.

Greater resistance pots have also been changed to only last for 2 minutes btw.

don't mind helping you get the greater fire prot pot. drops from the lbrs fire invokers so easily stealthable (or even just doable with a 70 without stealth)....

entrance --> drop right to go into lbrs --> take the shortcut around the corner to the spiderboss --> the area there with the groups before the spiderboss and then take out the fire invokers.

Lemme know if you want help in healing or dps.

thx for the offers guys but it's the Major Fire Protection Potion recipe I dont have (not the Gtr Fire Prot recipe from lbrs), which drops from the firey astromages in Mech - unfortunately not in heroic mode for some stupid reason. No biggie though, not much in the way of big fire-fights in sight at the mo anyway.

Or a druid, since you can't quaff in forms.

I am of the feeling that the new Violet Eye recipe for Flask of Chromatic Wonder (+18 all stats, +25 all resists) might be a good all round option (IMO the feral druid flask of choice in any case).
