Alchemy covers the camp's mana problem and gives you somewhere to keep brewing.
Skill levels and consumable numbers below come from the beta build; they can still change before launch.
The camp chain
| Object | Alchemy | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Mana Well | 20 | Nearby players regenerate mana every 5 seconds |
| Fermenter | 140 | Creation of certain reagents, plus the Mana Well's effect |
| Alchemy Laboratory | 300 | A station for recipes that require it, plus the Mana Well's effect |
The well's regeneration does not stack with Blessing of Wisdom, so it earns its slot when your group lacks that buff. Later objects can be placed over the well to replace it, every version needs a campfire nearby, and all camping features share the one-hour cooldown. Blizzard used the Alchemy Laboratory as its Alchemy example for advanced camp objects.
New flasks answer the new zones
Forever's four "Natural" flasks each give +60 Stamina and a bonus that works in Mount Hyjal, Hyjal Summit and the Barrow Deeps — the Hyjal region and the two new raids:
| Flask | Zone bonus |
|---|---|
| Natural Accuracy | +5% hit chance |
| Natural Aggression | +4% critical strike chance |
| Natural Precision | 5% less chance for your attacks to be dodged or parried |
| Natural Swiftness | +5% haste |
They require character level 55, last two hours, persist through death, and only one flask applies at a time. The recipes require Alchemy 300.
Elixirs worth bag space
The beta also lists four level-55, 30-minute elixirs: Elixir of the Owl (+25 Intellect and 2% crit), Elixir of Cunning (+25 Agility and Intellect), Elixir of the Grizzly (+25 Strength and 2% crit) and Elixir of Wicked Regeneration (health and mana every 5 seconds).
Your camp job
- 20: Mana Well, when the group is short on mana regeneration.
- 140: Fermenter, so reagent work can happen at camp.
- 300: Alchemy Laboratory for advanced recipes.
- Check the zone condition before buying flasks. Their secondary bonuses name Hyjal and the Barrow Deeps, not Onyxia's Lair or every level-60 dungeon. That matters more than assuming the newest flask is always the right pick.
The full object list lives in the camping guide; the professions hub compares every camp role.
