High Level Alchemy Recipes

[DuskO]

So I've gotten my Alchemy to 280//Herbalism to 300. However, I'm starting to find herbs that I have no recipes for! Examples are: Plaugebloom, Arthas' Tears, Black Lotus, Mountain Silversage, Sungrass, and Golden Sansam.

These herbs are starting to accumulate in my bank, and I want to get my alchemy to 300! Anyone know where I could find some recipes to work these out?

P.S. DO NOT say "go check the AH" believe me, I've tried...

Try link snatched and clicking on the items you can't make, this will take you to a page and this one showing that the recipe is a drop, reward, or purchased item. Clicking on the recipe will show you where you can get it and that one.

Links to those types of sites are not allowed in these forums. -LS

Thanks! Turns out most high level alchemy recipes are only found off of drops from 55+ monsters. Well, I just hit 53, so I guess I'll be getting them soon. Thanks a bunch!

Don't count on it - recipe drops are rare indeed. In most cases (hate to say it), but it's gonna take more trips to the AH...

The best recipe to level to 300 will be the major healing potion(2-Golden Sansam and 1-Mt Silversage). I did buy mine from AH but it is there all the time for a few GP.
Wait until you want to get the flask recipies and transmute essence recipies. I saw a flask recipe in AH for 100 gp. Some of the trans essence recipies are bind on pick up. To get you need to be level 55 and do a series of quests just to talk to the vendor. The good ones are rare drops. (0.1%)
Good Luck.

You can buy the Major Healing potion recipe from a vendor in Winterspring (limited supply) or pay over the odds for it in the AH.

I was looking to get the Major Mana potion recipe, but having checked a few external resources it would seem that I have to complete one quest down in Scholomance in order to "win" this recipe from some invisible guy. It's also Bind on Pickup so it looks like I'll have to wait until I'm level 59/60 and can get a group of 5 to go in there before I can make those little babies.

Flasks are well sought after, though I'm yet to find any recipes for those.

it's actually 3 quests in Scholo, which requires 3 seperate trips in, (ex. do quest one, go out, turn it in, pick up quest 2 .. go back to scholo etc.)

major mana, ya, that's nice . but that same ghost vendor sells you "Transmute: Water To Air" .. that's really nice..

Another Alchemy Recipe source is those 'hidden' vendors...

I would love to see a list of those guys - a lot of the recipes for sale at the AH were bought from those guys and marked up 10 to 50 times.

For example the Goblin that hangs out on top of the Ramparts in the Elite Warmongers and Crushridge area north of Tarren Mill - he sells a frost recipe that you can enchant a weapon with to proc frost damage.

There must be more of these alchemy recipe guys all over the realms but I have yet to see a comprehensive list on where to find them.

Anyone know?

To the OP; some of the high good level recipes can be bought from the NE trainer in Feathermoon Stronghold.

The transmuting ones are bought from a goblin in a building in Gadgetzan.

Frost Oil. Yes, a much in demand substance, though few if any people put it on their weapons. Needed for several blacksmithing plans and a few engineering ones, also for a cross-faction gnome in the Badlands developing new elemental control bracers. Expensive in the AH..

I think my troll shaman alchemist did try frost oil on his weapon once, but it doesn't really stack with Windfury or other weapon self-buffs..

You also need frost oil for the Tribute run in DM North.

I'm not sure if I can link it here, but there is a mod around that will tell you where you can buy a recipe any time you mouse over one, so you don't spend too much on it. Adspace or something like that, look around for it.

Or some of the sites with a bunch of WoW data will have lists of items and which things drop them.

Oh, and there's a kind of cheap way to get the Major Mana recipe and water->air transmute without 5-manning scholo. The way I know only works for horde. I still recommend doing the five-man, though, just because it's a good challenge and a lot of fun :)

You can find more complete guides, but in short:
1) Go to tarrent mill and bind your hearth to that inn.
2) Go to Senn'jinn village in durotar. Do the quest from the head troll there to kill zanzi-something, the evil troll guy on the islands.
3) when you finish, talk to the apprentice voodoo-man by the big cauldron. He'll give you a random buff. Some of them are weirder or more useful than others. keep talking to him until you get the one that makes you high as a kite and you start seeing hallucinations dancing around the cauldron.
4) Hearth to tarren mill. Mount up and ride north to scholomance (Make sure you know the way to scholomance before you do this, or you'll have to wait an hour for your hearthstone cooldown and try again).
5) There is a ghost vendor dude in one of the buildings outside scholomance. You can look up where he is, I don't remember. He sells your two recipes, as well as a nice armorsmith pattern or something you can probably sell.
6) These recipes are mildly expensive (a few gold) so make sure you aren't broke when you try this.

This is how I got mine, just because no one in my guild wanted to 5-man scholo with me 3 times.

The buff has just BARELY enough time to make it there on a level 40 mount. I think I had like 20s to spare when I did it the second time (first time I got stuck in the water for too long and didn't make it in time).

Anyway, scholomance is more fun, but if you're feeling impatient and have some time to kill...

This 'voodoo-buff solution' was fixed in 1.9.3.

(The buff now becomes lost upon hearthstoning/summoning)

So the ghost vendors, do you always have to have a quest to see them then? I ran around looking for the Frost Oil vendor for 2 hours one night and I couldn't find him, asked a bunch of people in the area if they ever saw a vendor there, and everyone said no so I thought that the info site I had gotten the information off of was wrong.

The frost oil guy isn't a ghost, as far as I know...I have that recipe, but have never been to scholo...

I might have bought it off the AH...which means it wouldn't have been a ghost recipe (since the ghost recipes are BOP, so far as I know).

Frost oil is gotten from a Goblin vendor known as Bro'kin in Alterac Mountains, I think he's around the Crushridge Hold area, to the northwest of the tower.

Here is how i make money...
Get a Greater Fire Protection Potion Recipie (WAY easier said than done, the lowest i have ever seen this go for in the AH is about 600G, a Guildy was AWESOME enough to just give me the recipie after he had it drop off of a mob in a raid, needless to say he is getting free potions from me whenever he wants) However, even before you get this recipie, you can farm the elemental fires from the Fire Elemental guys in either Arathi Highlands, or in Ungoro Crater (i preferr ungoro, because there are more elementals, and the have a chance of dropping essence of fire, which uasually goes for 10g a piece on my server at the AH) I also HIGHLY suggest that you get Friendly reputation with the thorium brotherhood (though this is time consuming and/or expensive to acomplish...it is WELL worth it) this will allow you to buy a transmute fire recipie, which allows you to turn one heart of fire, into three elemental fires (with only a 10 min cooldown). Gather Dreamfoil whenever you can (however somtimes Dreamfoil is on the AH and sometimes it's just easier to buy it, since i actually gather elemental fires faster than dreamfoil) A stack of five of these potions will sell QUICKLY for at least 12 gold on my server, and with the added benifit of selling the essence of fires and other gray drops (like burning pitch, or whatever it is, they sell for almost 30s for a stack of five, and pile up VERY quickly) you are looking at VERY profitable farming.

Any questions? Post em here!
