Blizzard poster Ommra (who, by the way, has one of the cooler forum icons we've seen in the European World of Warcraft forums) has put up a blue post regarding Alchemy discoveries in WoW. It's not a hotfix or a bug report or anything, just Blizzard's rationale behind the whole discoveries thing.As previously stated in the forums, the discovery system is not a guaranteed part of Alchemy, just a perk. Ommra says it was instituted because the devs wanted to "reduce the amount of 'taxi cab' calling for Alchemists." Here's more from Ommra's post:
We wanted to give some the ability to have specific recipes that no one else may have, be it someone in a high end raiding guild or some random person that now has a unique purpose on his realm (until someone else discovers it of course).
Are they required for advancement or success as an Alchemist? Definitely not, but they're certainly a very nice perk if you happen upon one. The same could be said for world drop items, they're a nice perk, but in no way required for your character's advancement.
The randomness takes out the need to make the recipes so difficult to obtain that only the highest geared or most well supported alchemists have access.
There you have it, guys. It's a perk. Random, but certainly useful in specific situations. Ommra also revealed that "some important changes" to how flasks and elixirs function are on the way, so keep checking back here on the QJ WoW blog for more updates.
