Recipe: Haste PotionFollow

The haste potion recipe dropped last night for me. Is there any reason I should learn it? Isn't it better to just sell it for 500 gold?

It's a high demand consumable for high end raiding guilds. If you can get supplies of terocone and netherbloom it may be a good profit maker. Just do the math, say if the profit margin is 2g / potion then you need to sell 250 potions (50 stacks) before it becomes more profitable to learn the recipe than to sell the recipe. On my server I'd expect to be able to move between 2 and 10 stacks per day at a reasonable margin, so call it 5/day (10 days before it would be more profitable to make & sell pots than to sell the recipe). There is the added benefit of discoveries and procs as well from making pots.

What class are you? I suppose that would have a huge impact on learning it or selling it. I personally would use it. Not to mention the potion mastery.

I wouldn't buy the potion itself off the AH. I can't accept the outrageous prices my server has for them when they only last a short period of time.

My shadow priest has the alchemy and my druid has the herbalism...I just mail the mats over. I'm also potion specced. Right now based off the data, it doesn't appear there is any profit margin! But I haven't been able to see any on the ah yet on my server either.

-If those post appears twice I apologize, my original didn't show up.

This is true. I've been selling my Fel Lotuses at an even 20g each on the AH for many months now (it's a serious undercut, but it ensures a fast sale, which is my concern). The AH deposits I've paid so far probably amount to roughly the amount I'd get if I sold another 3-4 Lotuses. But a friend in another raiding guild learned of this tactic of mine, and basically told me he'd buy any Lotuses I wanted to offload for that price. Now it's not a big profit margin, going from 20g on AH to 20g to another dude's face. But over time, the AH fees it'll save me will pile up.

Moral of the story: (Some) Contracts, good.

I am a potion master and I still haven't been able to see one potion on the ah or get a price check so i'm still not sure what to do. I haven't had time to check with guilds either!!

i'm a rogue, elixir master, i can go through 10 to 15 pots per raid. so i learned the recipe and use it for myself primarily. i also make them for other guildies if they have the mats. free for them of course.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I am leaning towards learning it. I just don't feel like I should yet until I can get some hard, statistical prices on what they are selling for. I'm hoping somebody will post that info or I can catch it on the auction house one of these years lol!

Morth,

Thanks so much. That will at least give me a rough idea so I can check that price against the cost of mats on the AH.
