Hints and Tips
- Wildvine and Battleground potions have really good synergy since they are both on separate 1min CDs. Experiment with using Saltwater or Defiance potions while having Wildvine potions as a backup. Also, Wildvine + "Third Wind" Potion is practically a Lay on Hands.
- Wildvine and Protection potions can be bought by 3 different vendors (requires BFA), in unlimited quantities: Alchemist Hart (A) + Takata (AH) + Isabel Marigan (H).
- https://www.wowhead.com/item=5512/healthstone are super useful and with the scarcity of Warlocks outside of our boy @Swoops , it'd be nice to have them at the ready. Well, thanks to @Sun he's provided a way to help us out. This works even in parties while waiting for queues, but find any Class Trainer and queue for the Training Grounds. Inside is a Soulwell where you can grab one and then leave instance group quickly.
- https://www.wowhead.com/item=5642/recipe-free-action-potion is sold in limited quantities by the Orgrimmar, Ironforge, and Darnassus alchemy vendors.
- Battle standards can be bought for 1x https://www.wowhead.com/item=137642/mark-of-honor by the Orgrimmar or Stormwind PvP vendors.
- To make gold or stock up on Battleground potions, https://www.wowhead.com/item=137642/mark-of-honor are Bind on Blizzard Battle.net account and can be mailed cross faction/realm to buy potions 1 for 1.
