Alchemy Discovery DISABLED until 2.1.0 patch

[TeaLeaf]

Vaneras has issued a Blue yesterday with an update today that affects all Alchemists.  It says:

We 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:

I haven't made any damn discoveries yet! Sucks big time Any easy ones to make or are they totally random?

[TeaLeaf]

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.
