I am going to speculate with an educated guess here:Ungoro wrote:Exactly what I was thinking! I started working on LW and got it to 180 in 2 days...Then just stopped, but am I correct in thinking that you only need a certain level to learn the "spell"? And once it's learned it's in my book and still usable for me if I change from alchemy to anything else or must I keep alchemy?
Tailoring mounts require X-level of tailoring skill to learn and to use. If you unlearn tailoring, the mount is still in your mounts tab, still counts towards "Collect this many mounts" achievements, but cannot be used.
Engineering mounts require X-level of engineering skill to learn and to use. Same as tailoring.
It makes the most sense to conclude that as with other profession specific mounts, the alchemy "mount" ability will only be usable if the requisite alchemy skill is maintained.

Re: Vial of the Sands
same xDMy druid is my alchemist/herbalist. So having her able to turn into something to fly will seem a bit redundant.

But I'm going to have to dedicate an alt to taking up the herbalism skill since I don't want to waste all my gold picking up what I need in the AH.

Re: Vial of the Sands
Same here, but I guess the ability to carry your friends will make up for the redundacy other times. Plus a dragon looks cooler than a bird, IMO.Renle wrote:same xDMy druid is my alchemist/herbalist. So having her able to turn into something to fly will seem a bit redundant.

Re: Vial of the Sands
*nods* I'd think for alchemy they could come up with something more unique and fitting of the profession instead of just another random dragon.Bulletdance wrote:There is no denying its cool,but I was hoping for something more unique. Anyone will be able to get a dragon almost exactly like that. You can't get a flying carpet or helicopter without being an engineer or tailor.
It's still an *awesome* idea, I just wished they would have been a bit more creative.

Re: Vial of the Sands
That better not be the only perk alchemists get, though. And seriously, you'd think leatherworkers/blacksmiths could make more heavily armored mounts of their own - just combine a purchased mount with whatever materials and bam, there ya go.

Re: Vial of the Sands
Actually I hadn't thought of that connection, so it makes a bit more sense thinking of it on those lines. I still would have liked to see something more original, since it seems every expansion we just keep getting dragon mounts (don't get me wrong, I love dragons, but there's so much more they could do too!).Kalliope wrote:Vial of the Sands smells of a bronze dragonflight connection. And if there's an alchemy based transformation from that....well, why not a dragon?

It just reminds me of Mount Hyjal and the vials of eternity quest.Vephriel wrote:Actually I hadn't thought of that connection, so it makes a bit more sense thinking of it on those lines.

I do agree on too many dragons, though. >_<

Re: Vial of the Sands
Can you use the mount more than once, without the potion/elixir, or do you need to make it each time?
It does look really cool, and I kind of agree with the 'too many dragons', just from seeing them in Dal.
