2.1.0 Patch Notes

[WimpySmurf]

-Alchemy
The chance of a discovery occurring while making potions has been
substantially increased.
Elixirs now stack in two categories, Battle (Offensive) and Guardian
(Defensive) Elixirs. You can only have one of each type of Elixir up
at a time. As a result Elixirs now stack with class abilities such as
"Arcane Intellect."
Elixirs now stack to 20.
Four new defensive elixirs have been added. Two are on trainers, oneand flew around
is in Halaa and one is in Cenarion Expedition.
- Profession UI now has a search field. Text that is entered into the
search field searches against item names, reagent names and item
levels (if you include a level). For instance you can type "Peace"
into the search field to see all of your recipes that use Peacebloom,
or type in "20-30" to see all of you level 20-30 recipes. This search
field only appears once you have more than 75 skill in your
profession.
- Profession UI now has a checkbox that allows you to search by only
items that you have the materials to make.
- You can now link recipes into chat. If you have chat input open and
you shift-click on one of your recipes in your profession UI then it
will put a link to that recipe with the reagents it requires to make
into chat.

So I've gotten on the PTR to see what's up with the Alchemy changes:

It appears the flask mats have been reduced to ~1/3 of their old costs. The reduction in buff is also ~66%.

The few I knew/could get to:

1) Flask of the Titans: +400HP, 7 Gromsblood, 3 Stonescale Eel, 1 Black Lotus
2) Flask of Supreme Power: +70 Spell Dmg, 7 Dreamfoil, 3 Mt. Silversage, 1 Block Lotus
3) Flask of Mighy Restoration: +25 mp5, 7 Dreaming Glory, 3 Mana Thistle, 1 Fel Lotus
4) Flask of Distilled Wisdom: 65 Int, 7 Dreamfoil, 3 Icecap, 1 Black Lotus

So Elixir of Major Defense is pretty much the only "Live" elixir that it's considered to be a Guardian Elixir.
The 4 new recipes are all Guardian recipes and provide:
1) Resilence
2) health & hp5
3) Spirit & Int
4) reduced incoming damage (ala Blessing of Sanctuary)


The "search" field is pretty handy as is the "have mats" check box. Though, they currently don't allow you to search for Guardian/Battle.

The ability to just link a recipe is pretty nifty. Clicking on it shows the mats and the potions ability, it'll also make any of the mats you don't have red in the popup.

Imbued prices are now 2G a stack of 5.

EDIT: Major Defense is Guardian not Battle.
