This recipe is a guild achievement reward for crafting 10,000 Cataclysm flasks (Mix Master).(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##Gryphon##DELIM##

7 uses? So if I create one of these, and drop it for a 10 man raid, the first 7 clickers get a benefit? Doesn't that seem kind of dumb?

Comment by Nimrod

Oddly enough, our guild just received the achievement and recipe - while the counter said 2024/10,000.

For Better Leveling Through Chemistry, it now says 2033/25,000 (since a few more were made).

Rather odd.

Apparently this was hotfixed to only require 1000 flasks, with the Big Cauldron achievement (Better Leveling Through Chemistry) requiring 3000.

Your one-stop-shop for info on Flask Cauldrons!

Once your guild earns the achievement Mix Master (now 1000 cataclysm-only flasks) you can purchase the recipe Recipe: Cauldron of Battle from a guild vendor if you have honored reputation or higher with your guild.

Once your guild earns the achievement Better Leveling Through Chemistry (now 3000 cataclysm-only flasks) you can purchase the recipe Recipe: Big Cauldron of Battle from a guild vendor if you have honored reputation or higher with your guild.

There are 3 Guild Perks that affect Cauldrons:

Chug-a-lug (rank 1) (50% longer flask duration, guild level 10)

Happy Hour (50% additional flasks, 7-->10 or 20-->30, guild level 20)

Chug-a-lug (rank 2) (100% longer flask duration, guild level 22, does NOT stack with Chug-a-lug (rank 1))

~~Still unsure if the Alchemy passive Mixology will stack with the guild perk Chug-a-lug -- it is possible that Alchemists will receive 3 or 4 hour flask durations.~~ The duration bonus from Mixology does not affect Flasks of Battle, so in the case where not enough Flasks of Battle go around to everyone in your raid, you should try to have individual-flaskers be Alchemists, for maximum flask efficiency -- unless of course your guild is level 22, and they receive no additional duration compared to using a Flask of Battle.

Making a cauldron is always more efficient than having individuals drink normal flasks. For Recipe: Cauldron of Battle you receive 7 flasks for the price of less than 5, as 8x Deathblood Venom is not as expensive as a flask. The larger version, Recipe: Big Cauldron of Battle is even more efficient, as it requires no deathblood venom, and you simply receive 20(30) flasks for 12 flasks.

Assuming your guild is level 22, you do 25-man raids, and you have unlocked Recipe: Big Cauldron of Battle with the achievement Better Leveling Through Chemistry , you will need 48% as many flasks as usual for everyone to be flasked up (12 flasks required for 25 people), and the flasks will last twice as long as normal, for a net flask-effectiveness of 416.67%, or alternatively a net flask-material-reduction of 76%.

Multiple cauldrons may be dropped at the same time, so as soon as you unlock Recipe: Cauldron of Battle for maximum material efficiency you should drop one cauldron in a 10-man raid, or 3 cauldrons in a 25-man raid, and have the people that miss out flask or elixir themselves normally.

Happy cauldron brewing!

Question to anyone that might know this already: For the Alchemist who drops the cauldron, do all the flasks made from it count as toward their count of flasks made?

For example: I currently have 1,050 Cataclysm flasks crafted. I drop a cauldron of battle on a guild 10-man run. 7 guild mates take flasks. Do I now have 1,057 flasks crafted or is that only for individually crafted flasks?

Just curious to know if all these cauldrons will be helping toward the Better Leveling Through Chemistry achievement.

Thanks,

Raw

can anyone confirm if you lose the recipie when you leave a guild and join another?

Comment by daros

Recipe itself requires FRIENDLY reputation with guild.
But it wont show up at guild vendor till you are at least HONORED.

Warning: the cauldron is BoP, so make sure an active raider is an Alchemist.

Comment by notsuoh

Can someone please list what the buff is when you use it?

Comment by Knokkelmann

look closer - the recipe doesn't need friendly, it's the cauldron itself. To place it, you need to be in a guild and have friendly reputation, so you can't place any cauldrons you still have in your inventory if you change guilds
