[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

Topic: Is this true ?

	"The Mix Master (Create 10,000 Cataclysm flasks.) achievement is a somewhat flawed. The requirement is unrealistic, and here's why: Assume the following from a guild: * Will reach guild level cap in a reasonable time. * A single 10 man raiding team, raiding up to 12 hours per week. * Provides flasks for its raiders. If the guild wants to provide flasks the Cauldron of Battle recipe has great potential in streamlining distribution. However, in order to acquire the recipe one needs to craft 10,000 flasks. Seems fine, but given that making a cauldron costs 4 flasks the end result will be 2,500 cauldrons. With guild perks a single Cauldron of Battle provides the entire raid team (10 people) with a 2 hour flask buff. With 12 hours of raids the guild consumes 6 cauldrons per week and consequently the 2,500 cauldron supply that was created merely to get the recipe will last for 416 weeks or 8 years! I have nothing against the achievement itself, it's just a silly requirement for the reward. I was really hoping I wouldn't need to trade flasks in raids this expansion. Suggestion: make the achievement count anything that requires a vial, be it potions, elixirs, flasks, or even Deathblood Venom. Alternatively just make the recipe attainable through other, more reasonable, means."

	In reality that is only 5000 product generations as flasks are made in quantities of two. That doesn't take into count elixir master procs of 4, 6, 8, or 10. Also if the guild alchemists sold their flasks for profit, and didn't create exclusively for guild use. -----signature----- Live from Telara Rhapsodie: Æ’unky Æ’resh Jumping out from a Rift near you!

	yeah i can tell you right now, i may be an officer in my guild, but if i make 10,000 flasks, while leveling my alchemy to 525, and i bring an alt into the guild and level 1-525, the amount of flasks I would make in doing so... will not be donated to the guild bank. The guild bank will fund flasks, and i'll make them for the guild, but I leveled an herbalist before alchemy in order to farm up my own herbs. I will be selling them to make a crap-ton of money off those of you who feel the 10,000 is excessive. We've already got half of the 50,000 critter kills last night and we're doing the other half tonight, the feasts, and the new feast achievement (off the top of my head I don't know what those two are called). So yeah, you go ahead and feel it's excessive and a waste. I'll be swimming in gold -----signature----- Q: Does Heroism make the same sound as Bloodlust when it goes? A: Nope. Heroism has this sound like a gong being hit, and then something like a triumphant cheer. Bloodlust makes a sound like bong being hit, and then a murloc being strangled to death.
