Alchemy and Jewelcrafting Changes

Originally Posted by Blizzard (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

We’re giving a heads up on adjustments being made based on player feedback over the amount of herbs used in recipes by Alchemy and Jewelcrafting. The adjustment will increase the amount of herbs an Alchemist needs and decrease the herb costs for Jewelcrafters.

Overview of Changes:

Alchemy

Combat potion recipes no longer requires Crescent Oil and meat/fish, and will require herbs instead.
Flask recipes will use more herbs, increasing the number of herbs needed from one type of herb to two.

Jewelcrafting

Tier 1 gem recipes will require more ore and less herbs.
Tier 2 gem recipes will no longer require herbs and instead require a tier 1 gem.

In summary, these changes are not active yet. But once the change is active, Alchemists will need more herbs, and Jewelcrafting will need less.

Does this require a Realm Restart to take in effect?
This is an early heads up and it's not live yet. It depends on how testing for the hotfix goes before that can be determined.

I'm currently working to get clarification from the designers over feedback that we've been receiving over the change to reagents for Alchemy recipes.

We’ve been reading feedback and concerns that have been raised and wanted to provide clarification. Historically, Alchemy has greater synergy with Herbalism than Fishing and we wanted to restore that with this change. Crescent Oil still has a use for Alchemists and it will still be used for some Draenor Alchemy recipes. We’re removing Crescent Oil as a reagent from primary stat buff potions and mana potions, but keeping it for other potions.

PvE Realms
Argent Dawn -> Moonglade, Darkmoon Faire
Draenor -> Emerald Dream, Shadowsong
Silvermoon -> Azjol-Nerub, Khadgar

Guild Transfers
Although Free Guild Master Realm Transfers are not possible at this time, the Free Character Migration will allow you to retain your guild membership and reputation, provided that the guild master completes a Guild Master Realm Transfer first and the faction remains the same as that of the source realm.

'Historically, Alchemy has greater synergy with Herbalism than Fishing and we wanted to restore that with this change'....about time..and whats with levelling first aid with fishing? first aid has always used cloth to level.

**F-Minus** · 2014-12-11, 07:52 AM

I like those pot changes.

**lordzed83** · 2014-12-11, 08:03 AM

"Raid buffs to Mastery no longer counts for food that provides a well fed buff to the highest secondary stat."

Good change. Was annoying to always get Mastery from feasts because of raid buffs.

Well... there is no cloth anymore, so there could be a problem there... But since FA makes healing potions now, I'd much rather see it use herbs instead of fishies...

**tar01** · 2014-12-11, 08:29 AM

Tier 1 gem recipes.... There isn't WoD gear in the game that has sockets. Until now I have seen a single piece of armor from HC that had a socket on it, random of course. You would sooner get an epic upgrade than a socket.

Blizzard killed most professions including jewelcrafting...

**Arkthus** · 2014-12-11, 08:46 AM

3 hotfixes this week and still nothing to correct the second stables achievement...

I've seen plenty of sockets. Random!

Interesting though, that Blizzard seem to have looked at the RNG-aspects of gear upgrades in korean MMOs and then went "hey, that's a good model!"

I think it's more of a Diablo inspiration than random Korean MMOs

"The world bosses Drov the Ruiner and Tarlna the Ageless in Gorgrond now share a single loot eligibility lockout."

which monkey thought that was a good idea?

the chance of getting loot is already abysmally low, so why not let us loot both?!

Yeah let everything give loot so you are done gearing in a few weeks and cry again about how easy everything is..

Yeah right. Haven't even seen Drov, killed Tarina twice, no loot.
Also, as Tarina is up almost all the time and Drov isn't, noone is going to take the effort to camp and kill him.

**Deliverer** · 2014-12-11, 10:09 AM

It took me literally 20 min to farm 100 crescent oil much easier than herbs! Since I'm using my daily herbs for alchemy work orders. And going around farming herbs will require much more time than sitting in my garrison fishing

Deleted · 2014-12-11, 10:40 AM

And there goes the justification to have skilled fishing - it will be completely useless for a raider now once again...especially since Cooks cannot cook the best Feast! It was really nice to be able to use all those extra crescent saberfish meat for potions. What will you still be able to do with them now?

Personal food?

**Dead_MAX** · 2014-12-11, 12:17 PM

I wonder why they reopened free migration into Drak'thul again...

It's Czech/Svk server whenever Blizzard likes it or not and we will fight it!
