So Blizzard nerfed the Northrend Adventuring Supplies to remove Elixirs. That’s a first step, but potions are still there and the hit on the market is huge. Hundreds of thousands of Potions/Elixirs have been introduced for free on the market.
The profession is ruined for long time.
Here below some proposal for blizzard’s next steps
1- Remove the Nothrend Adventuring Supplies from the game, they should have never been there in first place, or just at the very beginning of the first area in northrend.
2- (OR) Remove Potions from the Northrend Adventuring Supplies, no crafted items from any profession should be in this pack.
3- Give a compensation to Alchemists level 350+. e.g. New recipes, mount, reduced CD on Transmut, Golds…
Theyre one time use, homie. That supply is likely to be 100% burnt by the second Naxx reset. The market will self correct, you legit just have to wait a minute.
The boxes have been nerfed any occasionally give elixir’s usually only 1 elixir and very rarely 2. They are fine now.
I do think they should give slightly more crafting mats however. Getting 1 cobalt or feels bad, should be 3-5 instead of 1-2.
As for changes to Alchemy, the only thing I think should be changed is the Endless Mana/Health pots u can craft to be in line with the runic health/mana pots.
Not sure you realize the volume of potions/elixirs that has been given in 2 days.
This is more than all the alchemists on your server can produce in 6 months.
at most you are loosing on runic heals/mana, the rest are throwaways you do on the way to the real flasks, you are not loosing much, and yes, I have an Alch. also A scrib and you dont see me complaining, some people ask for compensation so the slightest thing.
Maybe miners and herbalists should wait a min too for making gold. How about putting a stack of herbs , ore , glyphs, cut jems, etc, in every box too so everyone can wait a minute to make gold? I don’t think it’s fair at all.
The rest are not throaways. e.g. You could sell Potions at very good price and they are still in the supplies as of today…
I am sorry, but that the biggest mistake Devs ever made. I really think compensation would be well deserved in that case. In particular knowing Alchemist has never been as bankable as others professions.
No, they were all WOTK items, they basically made any player an alchemist.
Even better than that actually, cause not a single alchemist is able to produce as much potions/elixirs you could get from these supplies in one single day.
you guys act like the whole market is ruined from a small surge of the crappy elixirs when you are still going to make more gold than you could ever use selling flasks in a few weeks
It wont be anywhere NEAR 6 months. 2 resets of Naxx will likely be all it takes. Just dont expect to be able to flood the market and instaprofit.
Health and mana pots will come back up the fastest as theyll be burned thru CONSTANTLY.
Every profession endures peaks and valleys on value. Look at Inscription right now then look at it again in 2 months. Youre going to see an exponential value loss on glyphs due to supply going up. Same for Darkmoon Cards. THAT valley wont go away.
