Discovery Help PleaseFollow

I will start by saying how sorry I am because I know this has been covered however I can not find the thread.

I have made over 600 pots. Mostly Fel Mana, Mad Alchemist, Major Agility. Not one discovery. Am I unlucky of doing something wrong. I do not have a specialty and I am usually making them at the bank.

Thanks in advance, My guildies want flasks soon 8P

Not sure about how it works with Discoveries. Ive only learned 1 flask before my Elixir Specialty. Dropped it not too long ago and discovered a xmute. Im not sure how the discovery works because i havent had much luck in discovering things either even though i make alot of pots and elixirs everyday. But to get the masters quests view these:
Master of Elixirs
Master of Potions
Master of Transmutation

And to get an idea of how many of what to make in order to discover your own flasks. View this Flask List. Its different for every1 and also depends on skill level. Good Luck!

discoveries are random.
you just have been unlucky.
it doesn’t matter where you make the pot/elixirs, you have the same chance, if you’re in the bank, in town or where ever.
if you X-mute every day, you will eventually discover a new X-mute.
the more pots/elixirs you make the better chance you have to discover something.

I am elixir spec, and I have proced extra's on my flasks before :)

one thing to note about specialty’s. you only have to do one quest once. I wanted to be Elixir spec, but my Hunter Alcimist is perma parked in IF. he doesn’t run dungeons anymore, so, I had to turn in the 4 primal might’s to get X-mute spec. then I paid the fee to drop that, and was instantly able to become Elixir spec W/O doing the Elixir quest, because I had done the X-mute quest already.

I do not have a specialty yet, and likely never will... Never play on my alchemist to get into groups... I have had 3 discoveries in 5 days. I have mostly gotten them off of transmute primal earth to primal water spell. At 375 it is green.

I have gotten one off of an adepts elixer once. Its all a matter of luck, and it appears you luck is not good at this point. :) I hope it turns around for you!

OK, Ya I have just been lazy in obtaining my mastery. Limited on game time right now so I can barely farm my raid mats before our weekend riads (think I need to call in sick more often...LOL)

Well thank you all very much, I just needed some confirmation on this because it is driving me nuts.

Strike First Strike Hard.

just to let you in on some help to better your chances on learning a new flask or transmute is simple. When you go to make pots,elixirs, and flasks is to SAVE you mats til you get enough to make about 100 of each and normaly try to make the same one til you run outta mats. I have every flask in game and the way i done it was kept tryin different things and found a pattern that the more of a single elixir/pot you make the better the chances were.. infact i made 150 agility elixirs and found the assualt flask.. made about 100 fortitude elixirs and found the fort flask.. most of the learnable are also tied into the elixirs and pots that can relate to them i found out as well.. perfect example is the chauldrons is in order to learn them you gotta make the major protection pots of the same type and once i figured that much out i tried to apply the same principle on the flask's and it worked.. so if your wanting to learn the new flasks try saving up tons of mats and make a constant and all at the SAME TIME the single elixirs/pots and you should have better luck

Just to add something that wasn't mentioned above. You will only get discoveries when you make stuff from TBC. Meaning, if you make a potion (or something else) that is a recipe from before TBC, you wont get a chance on discovery. It has to be a recipe you learned in TBC.
