Higher Alchemy Transmute Formulas and Reputation

External Since: Oct 30, 2007 Posts: 240

I see several transmute formulas in the outlands that appear to only
be available by attainment of reputation. I'm not sure how important
these are. Most of them require Revered. My understanding is that
Primal Might is the real biggie. Motes seem to be available by
grinding and I would guess that even to do the transmutes one would
have to grind in order to obtain the motes that one would transmute
and therefore why transmute, just grind for the motes that one needs
and then transmute the primals to a Primal Might.

Now if Primal Might is the top dog and, what ddoes it take? One primal
of each of the others to make Primal Might? So is it that important to
work towards Reverd to get the formulas? Perhaps nto work steadily
towards it but keep running some instances. or rather grind instances
and eventually one would et the formulas it seems.

Well theres always the issue of some motes are harder to obtain than
others.

The drop rate on Motes of Wind in Nagrand fell off the face of the
earth when they added in Essences in Outland. I don't know what
transmutes are available to transmute one primal into Primal Wind, but
that might be useful.

Primal Mights are only obtainable through transmutes, so getting that
transmute is key if you want to make money from alchemy. I always see
people WTB Primal Might transmute in the trade channel.

As for any rep items, look at the item and make a decision if you need
it or not. Also, at level 68, with an alchemy skill of 350, you can
specialize. I would suggest getting any alchemy recipes that are part
of your specialization. Not necessary, but increases the chances of
creating items that give you more than one product.

In any case, I would strive to at least get every recipe in the game,
especially if its as easy as an Outland rep grind to get. If you want
to run Heroic dungeons you'll be grinding to exalted anyway (I think
its revered for the key, but if you start running the heroics you will
surely reach exalted). You never know when someone might want some
obscure potion/elixir/transmute.
