Speaking of Alchemy discoveries...Follow

I don't think you do something wrong.

A discovery just happens randomly, based on an average chance. You might make 3 potions and get 3 discoveries, or make 3000 potions and get 0 discoveries.

It's like loot: some people kill a few bosses and get every drop they want. Other people run instances over and over again and nothing usefull drops.

Just a follow up...I wound up getting *2* discoveries today...Super Rejuv. Potion while making more Mad Alchemist's Potions, and Transmute: Primal Life to Primal Earth while making an Earthstorm Diamond. This is good news in a sense, as I have tons of Primal Life sitting around the bank after herbing my way through Outland, and I picked up the Earth -> Water transmute from Sporeggar rep a while back. Life -> Earth for skillup and then Earth -> Water for profit. Not time efficient, but I'm not quite geared to be farming all the motes for Primal Might just yet, so I'll take what I can get for the time being.

I would sell the primal lifes (they go for about 12g on my server) and buy up primal earths (3.5gish on my server), probably make more money that way, won't level quite as fast, but wouldn't be a drop like before.

That's what I'll be doing now. I logged in today with 374 alchemy, and Transmute Primal Life -> Earth was the most readily available option for a guaranteed skillup. I still have 16 Primal Life in the bank, and I'm in the mode for some epic flyer gold so I'm going to start trickling them into the AH over the next week . I also noticed for the first time today that I missed out on the Skyfire Diamond recipe from Thrallmar, so I grabbed that and I'm probably going to focus on that as my daily transmute for a while (won't take long to farm 2 primal air and fire and the gems come cheap and easy from auction).

I finished making all of the Elixirs I need for my Elixir Mastery quest...and after 2 complete runs of Black Morass, I'm still short 1 essence from those damn rift lords/keepers. No biggie...still hoping for an Hourglass to drop from the second boss and even though Kara attunement is being phased out with 2.4, it would still be good to have my key so another BM run is in order at some point.

seems like you did read him correctly that he Discovered before hitting 375.

my hunter had his first discovery while powerlevling to 375 as well. max 375 level is not required to make a discovery, just lucky as anything to get a discovery in your first 75-100 attempts while leveling up to skill cap/375

That kinda reminds me of my experience running Shadow Labyrinth, Aurelius. I took me 11 runs for Sonic Spear to drop the first time. It also dropped on my 12th run. Go figure.

I got mine on my second run and since then have sharded two and have one in my bank with the Winter's Chill enchant on it for ***** and giggles.

I appear to have cornered the marked on Major Agility and Healing Power elixirs on my realm...not through any shady dealings, but it often seems I'm the only one who ever sells them in any significant quantity. I listed 6 stacks of 5 Major Agility elixirs today and they had sold within 10 minutes...I listed 6 more and they were gone within half an hour. This obviously makes me happy as it's not only quick gold towards my epic flyer, but it keeps me producing more elixirs that give me a chance at a discovery. I got Flask of Mighty Restoration today and was so excited thinking at a glance that it was finally a flask worth making only to realize that ya...no, that's **** too. I'll keep at it though...at least they're starting to happen for me.

I sell them in stacks of 5 for 10g each. That was the common price when I started making them (the realm my Hunter is on, they'd be going for 15g/stack quite easily...in fact, I could rarely find them in stacks...it was mostly singles that I'd buy up 1-3 at a time as they were available.) I gather the herbs necessary to make them while doing the "Gaining the Advantage" daily, brew them up, and put them on auction 4-6 listings (20-30 elixirs) at a time. I very, very rarely have them returned from auction these days, and I"d say overall they earn me 40-60g/day. Healing elixirs are my other strong seller...I sell them also in stacks of 5 for 13g, usually with Golden Sansam bought of auction for a pittance and Dreaming Glory I gather in the field. Between the two, I usually have 100-120g+ worth of elixirs on auction at any given time, and quite often they sell within an hour.

ive never had any discoveries untill someone in my guild told me to make 40+ mana pots all at once(so i made 60).

discovered both Super Rejuvs, and Flask of Relentless Assault.

im sure when im bored and the guild is running low on super Manas, ill make another batch to see what else i discover.

also, im currently at 373 skill.

I am also pushing a big 0 on discoveries, and last weekend I made over 120 mana pots for 3 kara groups... :)

Im currently at 370 on my hunter and need to get working on a specialization.

Up to 240 Super Mana potions and no discoviers. I HATE random luck. On the other hand, I'm actually breaking even on them so I can't complain all that much.

Another 120 and I finally got one! Yay!

Yesterday I got my first discovery while making a skyfire diamond for someone. Primal Shadow to Primal Water. Not really useful, but cool all the same that I got a discovery :)
