Prior to Tuesday's patch, the alchemy recipe https://www.wowhead.com/item=9303/recipe-philosophers-stone (sold by Alchemist Pestlezugg in Tanaris) could not be learned by a (non-grandfathered) level 10 character. (Tried and failed several times.)
When patch 9.0.5 dropped, the recipe's tooltip was amended to say that a toon must be at least level 15 to learn the recipe. Upon trying to learn it, I could not, so the tooltip was presumably valid, despite the huge number of erroneous tooltips we are currently seeing in game.
However, after today's mini patch, the recipe is now learnable on level 10 characters of appropriate alchemy skill. (Tested.)
Why does this matter?
While the trinket itself (https://www.wowhead.com/item=9149/philosophers-stone) cannot be equipped at level 10, it is a required material to craft https://www.wowhead.com/item=13503/alchemist-stone, which, from all appearances, does not have a level requirement, only an alchemy skill requirement (Outlands 50), which is absolutely doable.
The recipe recipe to make it is gated behind rep with the Outlands faction The Sha'tar and can be purchased from Almaador in Shat. Rep with The Sha'tar can be fasttracked via https://www.wowhead.com/item=129946/commendation-of-the-shatar. Unfortunately, they are only purchaseable while the BC Timewalking event is up, which won't happen again until April 6th.
Provided there aren't any additional hidden requirements, this means that a level 10 could equip https://www.wowhead.com/item=13503/alchemist-stone.
My only concern is that the recipe to craft it lists a level 10 requirement to learn it and that particular tooltip has been misleading at best on a whole slew of crap since reset.
Can anyone who is
A) an alchemist with Outlands alchemy at or above 50
B) Revered at minimum with The Sha'tar
C) level 10
attempt to purchase the recipe to see if my theory holds water?
Please and thank you.
(Apologies if this is a word-soup mess to read; it's well past my bed time.)
