Cauldrons were an alchemy ability that did not last very long in BC. They gave everyone that clicked (like a soulwell or mage table) an elixir or pot. Not many people made them as there were very few options to the cauldrons that good raiders (min/maxers) would bring their own specific flasks/elixers. I have not seen anything so far in the alchemy updates to see if they are bringing this back. Although, with the guild talent, it would seem they are. I hope this time around it is a little better conceived.
