Ok, mini rant. I just had my 4th alchemy experiment explosion in a row. That’s 16 hours of not being able to level it… what. the. heck. blizzard? All my recipes are green or grey… how am I supposed to do this?

Ah, for once it’s not just engineers blowing themselves up.

My fifth in a row this morning. What a waste of time.

Think of the SATISFACTION you’ll feel when your alchemy experiment finally pays off and you discover a new recipe after 52 explosions in a row!!!

I saw someone in another thread say “don’t worry, all the weak links will quit alchemy, and only those willing to put up with it will remain to profit”.
And I can’t let that guy succeed uncontested.

yeah there needs to be some sort bad luck protection
I only got like a few hours to play every night so having it explode twice on the first try stopped 3 days of progress.

I think of the long, long list of guys who cashed in their chips trying to isolate fluorine, and … yeah. Alchemy ain’t a gig for the faint of heart.

Alchemist acting like every profession isn’t completely bottlenecked at certain levels. Most of us need weeks of rep or raid to even get past 65

Then go check out Derek Lowe’s series of articles, “Things I Won’t Work With.” You’ll find some good stuff there.

I’m not getting any good reasons for why it has to be like this. Blacksmithing is super easy this time

The advanced experiments don’t backfire nearly as often.

This was funnier than it needed to be for me lol.
Yeah my basic explodes non-stop, advanced I’ll go 3 or so before it explodes.
But then again I’ve done 20 before without an explosion so who knows.

I suppose I’m going to have to get lucky with expedition skill drops
They need to reduce this cooldown. Its absurd. Drank my liquid courage, and blew up again.
This is NOT fun gameplay, this is irritating gameplay. I went from wow professions are interesting to, I DO NOT want to do them anymore.

I feel called out …
Perhaps you’re just not a good alchemist? - Maybe try picking flowers instead
