Vaneras has issued a Blue yesterday with an update today that affects all Alchemists. It says:
Quote from: VanerasWe have been working on the resolution of a serious exploit in game which has led to certain consequences that we wanted everyone to be aware of.
A hot fix has been recently applied to the alchemy profession, with regards to discoveries. For the time being, we have disabled all chance of a discovery, until we can implement the proper fix through a patch, as we can not resolve this matter solely with hot fixes.
We apologise for the necessary but temporary removal of discoveries, and are working to have them re-implemented with an upcoming content patch.
26/04 Update:
This will not only be fixed in patch 2.1, but from then on, alchemists will also have a significantly higher chance of making discoveries.
Yep, emphasis on the word significant.

Hurrah! I've been making pots left right and centre and thus far have only learnt one recipe, and a pretty useless one at that. Good to see they're upping the learn rate.
I wish i'd known about the exploit before they blocked learning tbh ;)
Aye, it was down to you being able to start making a potion/elixir with full bags and the make would fail, but it still provided an opportunity to learn a recipe, effectively for free as you used no mats for it. Wish I had known that before too :roflmao:
TL.
I haven't made any damn discoveries yet! Sucks big time :P Any easy ones to make or are they totally random?
Totally random. That was what sucked You could make 5,000 elixirs, flasks and potions and discover nothing. Someone else could make just one and discover a the most in-demand flask recipe in the game.
