Comment by Tourlip

It turns you into stone, making you

Unable to move or act.
You can, however, still blink.

I suppose you can right-click the buff to remove it.

Finally, i can make my own Viagra.

Comment by Prier

If these effects last longer than 2 hours, please consult your nearest alchemist.

Comment by Iordsess

I wonder if someone would noticed if you put some in their drink *ponders the possiblities*

Comment by nocherrybars

Shares a cooldown with Flask of Enhancement.

Comment by barbeque

Wait, do you drink it or use it? If you use it, where do you apply it to?

Comment by 125795

Viagra in wow. These will sell like hot potatoes @ AH. I might start my own pharmacy.

Comment by evankimori

Deepstone Oil is not for everyone. Certain heroes over 60 may experience extended stiffness. Consult your Priest if you experience a stiffness exceeding 4 hours.

Comment by Mulig

You can actually use this while using a flight path which makes your taxi stiff aswell. However you will still get to place you've paid for.

Comment by Viper23rd

It hasn't been mentioned yet, but you can use these whilst on flying mount. Become a statue on your awesome mount in Orgrimmar and you're guaranteed to get lots of attention.

Comment by Syncness

Comment by Lidmo

Warning: Stiffness does not last forever, only up till 10 minutes.

EDIT: I could be wrong about the time, didn't count but I idled in Stormwind for a bit and came back to find no potion effects on my character. Downranked for bad business?

Comment by Zhett

The oil does not conserve transformations.
E.g.: If you use the oil while under the effect of an Orb of Deception, you will turn stiff as usual. When the orb's duration runs out you will turn back to your original self. You will still be stiff and strike the same pose but your model will be back to normal.

Comment by Lrh301

I tried to use this while Feigning Death, when the character is leaned way far back, but it just made me stand straight up. Lame!

Comment by ElliotHunts

I did some testing with this potion on my two accounts. Using the potion while i did a /mountspecial i could see the toon freeze with my proto drake rearing back in an impressive pose. However when I went and looked at character A on my account B, character A was just frozen in a standard idle pose. So my results showed that although you can see yourself in a funny pose other people see just a normal pose. One explanation is that latency could be the reason for this. Some more testing is called for.

edit: ok further testing reveals that latency is a key factor here. using the potion too late is what resulted in my toons being frozen in the idle state to other people. What you should do if you experience 500ms (my normal ms) is to use the potion a bit earlier to get the pose you want other people to see.

Comment by 728072

Was trying to see if I can freeze the particle effects but too bad they didnt, and also found out if you pop Icebound Fortitude (immune to stuns) before taking a swig, you'd still get frozen.

Comment by Nuclearmy

Made my realm laugh with it by typeing "Too old for it? Never! Dr. Péterhun's magic potion will fix your problem for only 20 Gold! Order now!" ^^

Comment by gerb1l911

Removing any type of transformation buff, or mounting buff will cancel the effect, i learned this when i went to Vashir and go on my seahorse,used the potion, and then had a lock summon me to the middle of SW, well first problem, yo cant accept the summon with the potion active. second problem i tried accepting it then using the potion and it dismounted me when i clicked the summon.

Comment by 203804

ok mythbusters' quest:
is it true that when a certain boss picks you up (to throw you or to smash you or to keeeeeeel you somehow) and you drink this potion, the boss becomes immovable aswell?

Comment by 310079

Troll: If i be using dis potion will i be able to blink too?

Comment by antron

1. Mount up (ground mount)
2. Jump from atop of something tall aming to land in water
3. Drink the oil while still on the air
4. Die

Unless you are in a flying mount you will suffer fall damage if you drink it before landing

Comment by 697870

Deepstone Oil:

1. The buff gives your character a yellow tint, identical to the frozen characters standing around deep inside The Caverns of Time.

2. For hunters it will freeze the hunter but not the combat pet. You can can't feed or heal the pet but you can still
click on enemies and the attack button and it will go over and attack them; eagle eye and most (if not all)
of the other actions don't work because you are stunned.

3. No effect on non-combat pets.

4. If you log off the buff will be removed.

5. If you are falling and you drink this you will not stop falling, you will hit the ground and die (if you are high enough or just damage if not).

6. If you jump off something, click on Parachute Cloak, and then click on "Deepstone Oil" it will not change your rate of fall (you get slow fall from the parachute as usual until it times out).

7. For Death Knights this will not freeze your Army of The Dead or your Ghoul;
and probably any minions (tried it with Mechanical Dragonling and it had no effect on it).

8. Tried with the Goblin Dragon Gun and it did not even freeze the fire (which I was hoping for)
or the pose of him shooting the gun, just frooze my character as if he had just been standing there.

Best use I've found so far:

1) Use "Elixir of Giant Growth"

2) Turn into my Sandstone Drake

3) Stand a little ways out of the AH entrance

4) Type /mountspecial and use this right as your wings are fully spread and you're in the middle of your roar.

5) Look cool.

Comment by Akaeya

Interesting fact: You can still use Leap of Faith on someone under the effects of this potion.

...Well...it's interesting to me, anyway.

Comment by Tantojutsu

You can use one of these with a sea turtle during the /mountspecial animation and freeze mid-air with a headless / legless mount.

Comment by lightspeed

Note to self: Do not use in the Deadmines when Vanessa injects you with the nightmare elixir. When you're all tied up and supposed to jump out, you fall in the fire and just stand there and don't take any damage, even if you remove the buff.

Comment by biefking

Don't blink. Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. They are fast, faster than you could believe, don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck.

Comment by yousefk

I will confirm that you can blink as of now.

Comment by Supahtoons

Using this while riding a Sandbox Tiger will leave you in the riding pose when it disappears.

Comment by 13389

Drinking one while Levitating will let you stay petrified, hovering a few feet off the ground (You won't drop down) even when the Levitate buff itself runs out. Infinite Levitate!

Comment by 491667

This + Giant Growth = ?

Comment by 639923

This + /mountspecial + Ethereal Oil = Ghost Statue!

Comment by Talvias

Mages can indeed cast blink while using this elixir.

Comment by 572263

Using this on Traveler's Tundra Mammoth doesn't cause Drix Blackwrench & Mojodishu to get stunned!

Comment by 523452

Hilarious moment, i gave this to a friend who just started to play wow, couldn't work out how to remove it and raged, hasn't logged back into the game since >.<

Try it in your valley of trials :D

Comment by JalleFr

My potion only lasted a couple of seconds.

Comment by 501674

I do not know what causes it, but when I go AFK with this elixer and I come back after 10 mins, the buff fades for whatever reason. I do not know if it just randomly fades due to some RNG thing or if there is a hidden timer on it.

Comment by Tastemymilk

For anyone wondering - this does NOT benefit from potion mastery.

Comment by Yukazi

It sells pretty darn well on my server with the right touch.

1) Wearing Bloodsail attire
2) Mount up on the largest mount you own
3) Use Deepstone Oil in front of the AH
4) People will ask "How are you doing that?" and explain "Deepstone Oil"

*A buyer has been found for your Deepstone Oil*

Roughly 1.5-2g for the fish, selling for 15g (only on my server). :)

Comment by Perfectmage

Was mounted in front of the main Org AH midway in the air with this and had a shaman whisper me. Our conversation is below:

: how is your mount not moving
: he is stuck
: ah right
: you need to spam heal me to unstick it

At this point the shaman was just stood looking at me for 10 seconds, he then dismounted and started spamming healing surge until he was almost oom at which point I clicked off the deepstone oil buff.

: strange
: thanks :)
: unreliable mount

Left me in stitches :)

Comment by Twinsen01

I have tested this and your pose is not synchronized to other players.

For the people that are with you when you use the potion, there is a small desynchronization, depending on everyone's lag.
For the people who come near you(your character appears on their screen), after you used the potion, what I believe happens is that the game starts playing the animation, and after a few milliseconds freezes your character, catching it in a random pose.

All in all, your character might look like it's in an epic pose on your screen, but in a different pose on other player's screens.

Comment by alphaveski

I am so gonna try this when i get the Rogue Legendary daggers with the "wings" buff

Comment by Obviously

Tested this out today with Elixir of Growth
Metamorphosis is removed after it ends and I became regualr stoned vorgen :(

Comment by 912341

I will jump off this cliff and drink the potion in mid-air.
And there will be divine intervention!

...

Doh! >.<

Comment by eddu

After drinking this, you can in fact blink, but you can not Blink.

Also you can not use this potion while moving or falling.

You can, however, talk no NPCs if they are close enough...

(at least with 4.3)

Comment by Thomx

I like freezing on a drake while the wings are down right over the entrance to the Trade District Auction House to make some sort of drake-drapes for people to go through. :D

Comment by FishHead

Doesn't work with the wings from the legendary daggers.

Damn shame.

Comment by 941372

Another weird thing: If your a Warlock that's wearing/has transmogged your helm to Hood of the Malefic and you do the "/roar" emote as you drink the oil, your wings will keep popping out/in as long as your frozen.
