I have 3 xmute masters. I get about 1 - 2 procs per week (7 days) between them, which normally yeilds 1 to 2 extra items.

In short - its a complete waste of time and money. It probably used to be cool - but it sucks now.

---

It was cool back when you crossed your fingers and wished for a 5-proc. Not so cool when you go 2+ months without a proc.

Not to mention it was bugged for a LONG time such that nothing but primal mights could proc. I believe they fixed that, but I never got a proc after the fix either. I think I've had a total of... 2? 3? procs

My luck sucks. I'm the kind of person who /roll's and gets a 1 out of 100.


Meanwhile after switching to pot spec and making maybe 20 mad alchy pots, I learned Flask of Blinding Light, Flask of Pure Death, and another flask that I can't remember and would consistently get an extra 3-4 pot proc every time I'd make 3-4 mad alchy pots. Not too shabby. Shame that my luck with those mad alchy pots is always to get the melee enh shammy elixir buffs >.<

How do you respec from Xmute to Pots or Elixers? Do you have to scrap alchmey and start all over? I rarely use pots / flasks / elixars... probably should but I don't.

talk to the npc that offers the quest for the mastery you want to get. you might be charge some gold for it and sometimes not it depends on what you are and what you are going to.

Cost is 100 gold from memory. Back when transmute spec was good, people used to do the potion mastery quest and pay the 100g to respec to transmute - it was cheaper than buy 5 x primal mights. :)

Cheers,
Stealthy

It cost me and Suvega to just head to your old mastery trainer to unlearn and pay 100g. Find hte new mastery trainer and learn your new mastery. No need to re-do the quests.

Or was it 50g at one trainer and 50g at another? I can never remember. 100g total.

5 alch - trasmute masters for quick easy cash every 23 hours

---

All alchy's can Xmute -- being a master gives you a MINISCULE chance that you can get extra procs. I believe they took away the 5-proc. :( Suvega got the 5-proc once on a primal might and it was sweet, but it's not common.

Both Suvega and I switched to pot and flask mastery. Xmute will probably not return you the initial investment (4 primal mights) to become a master. You can still do the xmute earth -> water to get money every 24 hours like an extra daily, without having to be xmute master.

Pot/flask spec isn't capped per day, so there's more profit there. Not that alchy has much profit, but it's more than xmute. I promise you.

Im already pot master and have been for ages on my main, as I dont want to spend ages using trade skills to make cash, i just want a quick press of a button once a day going transmute master and doing earth-water with it is the easiest imo. as for the initial cash outlay, if you go erm either potion or eliver mastery i forget which its an easy cheap quest to do then just pay the 200g to transfer to transmute mastery.

>>> MINING UPDATE <<<

with patch 2.4 you can now go from 0-290 just from smelting :) i spent a few hundred and did it that way soo much quicker. wanted it up fast as Im running normal MT and theres 2 adamantite / rich nodes there

woot, my mining on my main has been so slow, been level 70 a few months and still under 300, lol

Im making all my characters tailors so I can farm primal moon cloth to make mass Primal mooncloth bags (20 slots) and kit my char and bank out and then sell them on the Ah.
I rarely see them on our server AH and when I do they go for about 300-400g and go within 6 hrs so I imagine its a good money maker:)

might have to check that outon my server too, could swop out alc on 4 chars for it

Ya I have plans to lvl mining on my warrior in plans for the future (he is an alt alt alt lol) however thorium ore is 40g a stack on my server so actually mining is the best option and use the smelting thing to fill gaps. of course that is server dependant

few things to rmemeber so spening 40g a stack on thorium ore doesnt seem to bad....

your only smelting the ore, you still get thorum bars back which will sell for close to 40g anyway. so free or almost free gains

you have to mine from 290-300 on thorium so youl get a stack atleast to sell and recoup your loses.

Dont think your going to go mine to gain then smelt what you mine and gain again, chances are by the time u finish mining it'll turn grey in smelting so no skill gain.
