A very good point actually, i haven’t looked into pots yet to aid me on heroic runs, mainly because everything is so crazy expensive atm. This seems like a good alternative to other consumables though – on some fights I struggle to make use of my shadowfiend + Hymn effectively, and I’m pretty lost if that happens.

The mysterious potion’s minimum health/mana return is based on your alchemy skill. It boils down to 5-15k health and mana returned at 525 alchemy, or exactly the same average as a mythical mana potion, but with health restoration as well.

If you use it with a health deficit that you would eventually need to heal, it’s worth approximately 12k mana (I currently treat 10k life as about 2k mana) on average, or 6k mana at minimum.

It is a great cheap potion for running heroics
(you can fish up a stack in half an hour using pools in Deepholm), but yes I would generally want to be using concentration potions for raiding.

Whiptail tends to be found near swamps and basins, particularly in Uldum or the murky areas of Tol Barad. I tend to find that there.

Azshara’s Veil has been easier for me to find, I find them in the more lower level zones and it can also be found in Tol Barad.

Thanks for posting this, Beru! I know I had been eyeing the PoC myself and I remember in the past, it was an all or nothing deal. If you broke your sleep during the timeframe, you got no mana back. It’s nice to see it’s more of a channeled effect and being interrupted will at least give you something back.

And you say damage doesn’t interrupt it? Oh, that’s huge!

I have been using mighty rejuvenation the most. May try the potion of concentration. The worst part is finding the Azshara’s Veil. The whiptail is much easier to farm.
