Mageblood Potion
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ruMageblood Potion is the best guardian mana-regen elixir in WoW Vanilla. It grants +12 mana every 5 seconds (mp5) for 1 hour, and the regen is not interrupted by casting. That makes it the standard for healers and casters on long fights. See the raid consumables guide for the full list.
Effect and stats
12 mp5 "outside the five-second rule" is a steady mana flow throughout the fight. Over a long fight the elixir returns a substantial amount of mana, saving potions and letting a healer sustain a high healing pace longer.

How to get it
The potion is brewed by an alchemist from rare herbs; the recipe is valuable, so the elixir is pricier than ordinary ones. Reagents are farmed via Herbalism. It is often bought on the auction house before a raid.
Mechanic: battle + guardian combo
As a guardian elixir, Mageblood Potion combines with one battle elixir. Popular combos:
- Healer: Mageblood Potion + a battle elixir of intellect/spirit.
- Caster DPS: Greater Arcane Elixir (battle) + Mageblood Potion (guardian) — damage and regen at once.
Remember: flasks occupy both slots, so elixirs don't work with them — choose either a flask or a two-elixir combo.
Who needs the potion
The potion is for healers (priest, druid, shaman, paladin) and caster DPS on long fights. In healer builds (see priest BiS) mana regen is one of the key stats.
Practical tips for x5
Combine the potion with in-combat recovery (Innervate, Evocation) and world buffs. For a budget roster the Greater Arcane Elixir + Mageblood Potion combo often beats a single flask. Register and connect to the server.
