Modern Prof/crafting is trash; Exhibit 15934:

Algari mana oil is made by Enchanters, but the Leyline Residue is only found from herbing, and is a rare drop, which has been designed to hike the price arbitrarily.

Moreover, it is only ~232 Haste which is less than the 310 DF version.
So it’s clearly extremely less effective than the DF, SL versions- and in fact, to be anywhere near correctly scaled from DF, it would need to be ~900 Haste.
The crit is negligible to me and others as none of my tanks or healers use crit.
Even if your best stats were Haste + Crit this is less than half the efficacy of DF rune to scale, and quadruple more expensive.

Sadly, professions for me at least have been boring since WoD, and now they just feel convoluted.

Few things:

  1. You can get them occasionally when disenchanting things.
  2. They’re guaranteed from harvesting irradiated herbs, so not particularly rare at all.
  3. They’re dirt cheap. Literally like 100g apiece on the AH on my realm.

Everything I explained about the ridiculous system that I just educated you on that you’re ignoring, they’re not 100g each on my realm, they’re more than that-- and it costs 10 of these to make 5 plus quality level other mat x 5.
They are rare, and not dirt cheap.
repairing a 2H wpn is about 170g, these are about 300g for silver quality on my realm, and even more than that for gold quality.
no matter how you slice it, it’s ridiculous. It’s weapon oil, a very small but should be easily and cheaply available min/max buff.

Edit:

Where are you getting this information?
It’s not on Wowhead in the comments, and the tooltip literally says from herbalism, full stop. No mention of DE mats.
So if it does drop some way other than herbalism in the tooltip and Wowhead, that’s even more ridiculous. Do you have a source?

From being an enchanter. You can occasionally get random mats when disenchanting stuff.

All consumables and mats are now, and have been since the beginning of DF, game wide.

They really aren’t rare, at all. I’m sitting on a stack of 800. But I did make a pure gathering toon, and I haven’t had to buy anything off the AH. And I’m running every profession. Actually sold mats at the start to make a pile of gold.

DF was difficult to keep up with all professions, this expansion had made that much easier to accomplish. But everyone should run a gathering toon, for the sake of your gold.

If it’s rare, why do I have nearly a hundred sitting in my bank?

It’s not particularly rare.

Doesn’t crit turn into passive mitigation (dodge/parry) for all tanks?

Also it’s not a particularly groundbreaking change for enchanting to use mats from other professions lol

You could run a Herb/Enchanter if it bothers you that much.

Probably easily googled, I assume. It’s a basic fact of enchanting this expansion, which I guess you haven’t touched or we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

300g isn’t expensive lol

There’s only one troll here, chief.

So run them bro.

We are trying to give you helpful information, if you don’t want it, don’t take it. But just because you don’t, or can’t take the answer is no reason to throw shade at anyone. That’s kinda… pathetic

Did you ever try to max one of the disenchanting trees?

Im bretty sure I’ve gotten various types of “rare” mats from it

~5xAlgari Mana Oil 220g (1,100g)
10xLeyline Residue 117g (1,170g)
5x R2 Storm Dust 15g (75g)

Are you really having trouble profiting off this with resourceful procs?

I’m not arguing this is the best use of these mats for profit but I think it’s pretty clear that this can be profitable to craft. If the Price of the oil goes up 29g per you don’t even have to factor resourceful procs. It’s just profit.

back on topic:

Algari mana oil is made by Enchanters, but the Leyline Residue is now [confirmed by tooltip and wowhead] only found from herbing, and is a rare drop, which has been designed to hike the price arbitrarily.

Moreover, it is only ~232 Haste which is less than the 310 DF version.
So it’s clearly extremely less effective than the DF, SL versions- and in fact, to be anywhere near scaled correctly from DF, it would need to be ~900 Haste.

Even if your best stats were Haste + Crit this is less than half the efficacy of DF rune to scale, and quadruple more expensive.

my comments that magically disappeared, both calling out Briselody alts, hmmm:

do you have a better source than “trust me bro”, is what I’m asking…

Yea, a simple profile comparison is too hard I suppose. The 10,000 difference in our achievement points wasn’t enough?

Is it too hard to accept more than one person disagrees with your bad take?

Leyline Residue isn’t that rare. And, you’re also wrong. You can get it from A Tailor’s Satchel, the various other grab-bags as well.

Did you check the tab labelled “contained in” ?
Or check the drop rate from the various plants it is gathered from?

It’s not ‘rare’ in anything other than colour. As I said, I have over a hundred in my warbank.

Yea but… I don’t believe the OP has a herbalist, the complaint about the price kinda shows that. I’m like you, I gather my own stuff so I’m stocked up. It’s wonderful! And my gold just keeps stacking and stacking.

Pretty sure you can get things like that from the Satchel of Surplus Herbs, or the Waxy Bundle of Herbs. Neither of which require herbalism to get.
