Flasks from Dire Maul

The most powerful consumables are flasks (Flask of the Titans, Flask of Supreme Power, Flask of Distilled Wisdom, Flask of Chromatic Resistance). Their recipes are obtained in Dire Maul. A flask lasts up to 2 hours and does not fade on death — a must for raid progression.

Transmutes and gold

Transmute: Arcanite is a key income source: once per cooldown you turn cheap reagents into expensive arcanite, needed by blacksmiths (Arcanite Reaper). Other transmutes (stones, elements) are partly discovered randomly while crafting.

x5 supply tip

The alchemist is the heart of raid logistics: flasks, elixirs, potions and elemental resistance. Herbs farm fast on x5.

FAQ

Where do I get flask recipes?

The iconic [flask](/en/wiki/flask-of-the-titans) recipes are obtained in [Dire Maul](/en/dungeons/dire-maul). Flasks are the most powerful consumables: they persist through death.

How do I get the arcanite transmute?

Transmute: Arcanite is learned from an alchemy trainer at high skill. It turns thorium and dark iron into arcanite and has a daily cooldown — a valuable gold source on x5.

Where are the top potion and elixir recipes?

Some top [elixirs](/en/wiki/battle-and-guardian-elixirs) and [potions](/en/wiki/healing-and-mana-potions) are trainer-taught, others are world drops or reputation/quest rewards.
