In Wrath , all Alchemy recipes are use d by Alchemist s to learn to create potion s , elixir s , oil s , and flask s as well as Alchemist Stone s . Recipes may be trained at a trainer , automatically learned via random discoveries , or learned from a Recipe item . In Wrath , a minority of Recipe items can be found as loot , whereas earlier levels of Alchemy recipes would sometimes be purchased from vendors or earned as reputation rewards . There are 69 Wrath Alchemy recipes known so far : 38 trained , 13 discovered through Northern Alchemy Research , 12 discovered through transmutes , 1 from a quest , and 5 that drop from specific mobs . Trained . Thirty - eight items are learned from a grand master Alchemy trainer in Northrend , in addition to the passive skill of Mixology ( requiring 50 skill ) that was also introduced with Wrath : In addition , the following recipe was introduced in patch 3 . 1 , but it cannot be learned from Northrend trainers ; head to an alchemy trainer in Shattrath or in a capital city in Kalimdor or Eastern Kingdoms to learn it . Purchased . No Northrend vendors sell any Alchemy recipes . Reputation . No Northrend factions offer any Alchemy recipes as a reputation reward . Discoveries . The discovery system grants a chance of learning a new recipe when making Alchemy products . Potion , Elixir , Flask discoveries . In Burning Crusade , making potions , elixirs , or flasks with BC ingredients could possibly randomly teach one of five flask recipes or a potion recipe . In Wrath , it does not appear to be the case that new Wrath recipes are discovered by making Wrath potions , elixirs , or flasks . However , reports show that you do have a chance to discover one of the six discoverable Burning Crusade recipes when making Wrath items . Northrend Alchemy Research . The main source of new recipes in Wrath , aside from the trainer , is by creating the Northrend Alchemy Research item ( which is trained at 400 skill ) . Once trained , the Research item can only be created once every three days ( seven days prior to patch 3 . 0 . 8 ) . Each time it is made , it gives a chance to discover a recipe ( or can also fail ) , and regardless of whether or not a new recipe is discovered , it will also produce several of a random Wrath elixir , potion , or flask . The official patch notes for patch 3 . 0 . 8 noted that " the chance to discover a Northrend transmutation has been increased " but there is not yet sufficient data to determine the discovery rate . Most alchemists report that they do learn a new recipe most of the time . Thirteen recipes are known to be discovered ( based on information in the official Blizzard profession forums , and Wowhead and Thottbot comments ) . Transmute discoveries . When performing any Wrath transmute with a cooldown , the alchemist has a chance of discovering a new transmute recipe . As of patch 3 . 3 , the epic gem transmutes and eternal conversion transmutes are the only ones with cooldowns . All of them have a 20 hour shared cooldown . The Transmute : Titanium cooldown was removed in the same patch . Twelve transmute recipes are known to be available to be discovered : Performing one of these discovered transmutes will also allow for discovery of the remaining transmutes . In beta , there was an additional discoverable transmute : Players reported that was also discoverable using Northrend Alchemy Research in beta . In live , despite some scattered forum reports of Alchemists learning this item ( especially during the first week after Wrath launched ) , no credible screenshots have been produced , and many months have gone by during which most Alchemists have not discovered this recipe . Since no other recipes require this item , it is safe to assume that this recipe does not currently exist in the game . Quest rewards . One transmute is rewarded from completing a quest : Specific monster drops . World monster drops . The following five recipes are BoP and attainable from specific mobs in Icecrown . ( Note that similar Leatherworking and Enchanting recipes drop from the same mobs . ) Instance monster drops . No Northrend instance mobs are confirmed to drop any BoP Alchemy recipes . Random World Drops . No Northrend world drops ( BoE recipes that would be found for sale in the Auction House ) are confirmed .
