A very cheap potion craftable and usable only by alchemists.
Side effects: http://www.mmo-champion.com/images/news/2007/october/madalch_110307_111143.jpg

Edit: Just crafted a few of these on live server and I tell you, they rock! You can use them while grinding if you're low on health and mana, plus there's a chance you'll get a great buff like Adept's Elixir's buff for an hour. :)

Commentaire de Zachs

I did some of my own testing today. Here are my conclusions:

*When drinking a Mad Alchemist Potion it always tries to give you one random buff.
*The selection of buffs is randomly chosen from the list of high level battle and guardian elixirs new in BC, as long as your class might possibly be able to use it.
*It first chooses the elixir buff to apply, then attempts to apply it once decided.
*If the user already has an elixir of this type (battle/guardian) active, the buff never happens, but you still get the health and mana.

Does this item share cooldown with other healing items,
for example the warlocks' healthstone?

Thanks Dynenth

Where do you learn it from?

Commentaire de 97256

I learned it from the Trainer in Shattrath. Not sure where else it can be learned.

When used by an alchemist it can proc a random elixir buff.

In four separate uses while in ZA on the PTR with my lock, the potion procced four elixir buffs at different times: Adept's x 2, Fortitude and Earthen.

Commentaire de SuperflyForever

I assume this also procs with discovery's?

Commentaire de 92969

Used these pretty regularly in my guild's TK raid tonight. I am a resto druid so I was getting some really not useful elixir buffs but I was getting one every time.

Only catch is, these seemed to not break the guardian/battle elixirs rules.

Commentaire de 36214

If you already have an elixir buff, will this override it?

Commentaire de 24754

I would like to point out the benefits of this potion.

Extremely cheap materials. Ragveil is fairly abundant and easy to farm, not to mention you can make this with Crystal Vials not Imbued vials. Which are significantly cheaper per stack.

Alchemists Only! Yay! We finally get something nobody else does!

Restores mana and health which will benefit all classes.

No more need to farm the annoying mats for health/mana pots since it will share the cooldown of those.

And of course the elixir buffs that it will give you! Random it may be, but I ain't never complainin' bout' no free elixir buffs.

Commentaire de Shadowed

Yes you do get discoveries from this, just crafted 7 Mad Alchemist's Potions and got a Super Rejuvenation Potion discovery off of it. Looks like it'll be a cheap way to proc discoveries too.

In fact, gotten two discoveries from it so far definitively a nice way to get discoveries relatively cheaply.

Commentaire de chocrin

Does anybody know if this potion will be boosted by the Alchemist's stone

Commentaire de 85708

After doing some testing in a raid tonight I discovered this potion will only give you the type of elixir that you have open. If you have a battle elixir already on it will either refresh that elixir or give you a guardian elixir. Vise versa if you have a guardian elixir on. Also it does not buff you with an elixir that would help your class. It is completely random in that sense. For example: Onslaught elixir buff on a priest.

Commentaire de 94614

Just wanted to throw this out there for Warlocks:

Throw up 2-3 lifetaps and chug one of these, you have just regenerated 5-6k mana. As an Alchemist Destruction Warlock, these pots are just ridiculous and provide immense benefits to this particular class/spec, especially in a raiding situation.

Commentaire de Aevitas

Available from Lorokeem in Shattrath City, but supposedly from any Master alchemy trainer.

This potion instantly regenerates your mana and health. This potion is also influenced by the Alchemist's Stone, which increases mana and HP gained from the potion by 40%.

Materials required to make one Mad Alchemist's Potions are:
• Ragveil x2
• Crystal Vial

Quote from WoW Wiki:

The random side effects appear randomly, and match the effects of known elixirs. The random effects will not overwrite existing flask/elixir effects, so they do not appear if you are already under the effects of a flask or two elixirs.

Best. Potion. Ever.
Cheep mats, buffs you. This, as the saying goes, is the bees knees.

Commentaire de 13706

The selection of buffs is randomly chosen from the list of high level battle and guardian elixirs new in BC, as long as your class might possibly be able to use it.

^ That is false. I just recieved Onslought Elixir (+60 ap) on my priest. The side affect is chosen randomly from ALL elixirs, not just ones your class can use.

Commentaire de RoninEI

So I pose this question:

Does anyone see a reason to NOT carry these instead of regular Mana and Heal pots? My Shaman is thoroughly addicted to these and has been since I was leveling him. If you have your flasks/elixir buffs already why not use these INCREDIBLY cheap potions that actually restore MORE than a Super Heal or Super Mana?

Unless I am completely missing something, I would like to see a few other people's opinions of this.

Commentaire de 47617

when you are low on just mana or hp, and not low on both.

Commentaire de 116147

Simply awesome, end of story.

Oh yeah, also restores more HP than the super healing potions.

Commentaire de 10rdBen

Is there any way of confirming that there are NO NEGATIVE (i.e. Debuff) side-effects? If so please post how. I always assumed that eventually taking one would send me mad and cause me to turn into a mushroom at some critical moment, but perhaps I am wrong.

Commentaire de 7127

These things are *amazing*, and ragveil is so ridiculously easy to get in quantity, unlike the netherbloom required for super healypots.

I have been planning to swap alchemy for leatherworking, but I am now one happy (and frequently, mad) alchemist!

Commentaire de Rejusu

The only "real" problem with this is I wouldn't say they have any utility for raiding. Generally you'd be using elixrs/flasks already (rather than relying on a lucky side effect from these) and so the buff would be useless. As they don't restore as much mana or health as a super pot then there's really no sense using MAP's over them for raiding. However if restoring health and mana at the same time is useful for you then they're a cheap alternative to super rejuvination pots.

They're still handy for general PVE/PVP though.

Commentaire de 133038

i usually use them for raids because they are the best raiding pots for alchemists if you are a raider and cast/heal i should say these pots are really worth raiding

Commentaire de 133038

As you state your opinion i state mine i use my mad alchemists potion even if i get a bad buff ill use my old one if i really need it because it gives both health and mana which is good,but if your poor he is correct

Commentaire de 126032

The selection of buffs is randomly chosen from the list of high level battle and guardian elixirs new in BC, as long as your class might possibly be able to use it.

This is definitely not correct. As a priest, I've gotten the Fel Strength Elixir buff and the Onslaught Elixir every so often. Not to mention the Agi one.

Purely random I'm sure.

Commentaire de 126590

does anyone know if the buffs given are completely randomized? i remember reading something about them usually buffing with caster vs melee buffs based on class. i've only used them a few times on my alch lock (never need to used pots...drain life ftw) and i remember them usually giving me draenic wisdom, adepts elixir, healing power, fort, etc. i only got onslaught and earthen once each (if i remember correctly).
I'm respeccing my boomkin into alch and IF the buffs aren't completely randomized, I'm concerned how they check caster vs melee with hybrid classes...

I may be wrong but any input will help. thanks in advance =D

Commentaire de 96435

This does NOT select only useful buffs as some have commented. Not unless priests can somehow make use of Fel Strength Elixirs. It merely selects randomly from the list.

Commentaire de 123668

Is this affected by Alchemist's Stone(s)

Commentaire de 2OfDiamonds

I was thinking, there are warrior, rogue and druid alchemists too (obviously), would it be an idea to give them some bang for their buck too apart from the nice health boost?

Mad Alchemists potion (rogue/cat druid version)
Requires Level 60
Requires Alchemy (315)
Use: Restores 1650 to 2750 health and 30 to 40 energy. Sometimes has side effects. (2 Min Cooldown)

Mad Alchemists potion (warrior/bear druid version)
Requires Level 60
Requires Alchemy (315)
Use: Restores 1650 to 2750 health and instantly generates 15 to 30 rage. Sometimes has side effects. (2 Min Cooldown)

minor tweaking to current mana restoring effects, tweaking to the energy or rage restored for balance and competitiveness compared to the original. and maybe drop a ragveil and replace with dreaming glory or felweed.

would generate extra energy or rage with alchemists stone obviously.

i would post this on the suggestion forums but pedobear got me permabanned sadly. that said, anyone thinking this is a neat idea and a little pat on the back for warrior/rogue/druid alchemists, feel free to post this on the suggestion forums for me (with credit ofc *cough* ).

Commentaire de 137826

awesome potion for pve and battlegrounds... if you use it together with an alchemy trinket you get 40% bonus which makes it even more sexier

Commentaire de frmorrison

Good potion to save some money vs using Super mana potions:

Average mana gain is 2200 MAP vs 2400 for a Super mana Potion (1.677 mp5 difference)

3080 vs 3360 once you have an Alchemy Trinket equipped (2.33 mp5 difference)

Commentaire de Splinter

Although at first glance the "not being able to use at full health" sounds crappy if you're a healer in a raid; just pop a demonic rune before one of these and it solves all of your problems. You can't write a macro to do it for you.

Commentaire de 172622

I love these things! The recently added Alchemist's Stones specific to your class type were much needed to keep Alchemy from being a somewhat useless profession to keep on your main; But in my opinion, these potions saved the Alchemy profession once The Burning Crusade came. They restore more health than a super healing potion, and just about as much mana as a super mana potion. Very useful for long boss fights.

If you're raiding, then I assume you're already buffed with elixirs, but in the event you are not or you just happen to use one any other time you'll get a free random level 60+ elixir buff. It is entirely random and will not override any elixir you are already using. If you use two of them, you will find yourself buffed with a guardian elixir and a battle elixir (Ironskin and Adept's seem to be the most common proc for me).

You can usually find pretty cheap Ragveil (used to make these) on the Auction House, as cheap as 6 gold per stack much of the time. And as if that isn't enough of a perk, they require Crystal Vials, rather than the pricy Imbued Vials that are used to make all OTHER end-game potions, elixirs, and flasks.

Build 9038: Seems this is able to proc wotlk potions also, used one on test realm and received the buff for Spellpower Elixir - perhaps because this potion is learnt at 365. I assume that Wrath Elixir will proc for melee classes.

Commentaire de 146819

These are a good money-maker if you're willing to put in the effort of farming Ragveil. Selling ONE of these covers the cost of the vials needed to make 15, and Ragveil is quite common around Zangarmarsh.
If you don't plan on using them yourself, vendoring them is a good idea (Since it's Alchemist-only, chances are everyone who can use them will just make their own, so it's not that great of an AH item).

Commentaire de Kobrakai

I went to train this at 315 alchemy after consulting a guide for leveling, it seems the potion now requires 325 skill to learn, not 315.

Commentaire de sforzie

Curiously, use of this item is able to proc the weapon effect that a shaman places on their weapons. Today when I drank one, it caused the Earthliving buff to proc. Not sure if this is a glitch or not, but it's an odd little bonus from an already fun and useful item.
