Stock up on potions flasks and food buffs
Consumables provide players with a wide range of buffs, healing, and utility effects to aid them in the questing and grinding experience. They can be crafted, dropped in raids, or bought from vendors. Players should be aware of the available options and plan ahead when it comes to bringing them along on expeditions. It’s important to conserve these items and use them wisely, avoiding wasteful encounters and saving them for resource-draining fights.
A player’s consumables are a key element of preparation for any challenge in World of Warcraft, including Mythic+ dungeons and raids. They can help increase primary stats, provide strong buff effects, and reduce the cost of certain abilities or glyphs. There are a variety of potions, flasks, foods, and elixirs to choose from and some of them are more powerful than others.
Flasks are a great choice for boosting buy Gold in Cataclysm Classic primary stats because they offer up significant increases in specific attributes for a short period of time. These are usually made by an alchemist and the effect can vary, depending on the type of flask you create. Food buffs are another popular choice for increasing primary stats, but they are less effective than flasks and don’t last as long. Food buffs can be crafted, or obtained from groups or personal feasts.
Elixirs are a useful way to increase secondary stats for a short duration of time. They can be crafted, or found in chests and bags. They aren’t as powerful as some other types of buffs, but they can be useful for filling in gaps between the use of flasks and food.
Weapon Oils are a great way to add some extra damage to your character during small windows of opportunity when you don’t have a lot of other buffs to utilize. They can be crafted, found in chests and bags, or purchased from the Auction House. The benefit of using weapon oils is that they don’t conflict with either food, drink, or a flask but do stack with weapon enchantments and augment runes.
In the past, many people stacked up on buffs like crazy, often times more than they could comfortably use in combat. The changes in patch 2.1 changed this and players now can’t be as “buff-happy” and must use their flasks and food more wisely. However, they still need to bring a few of these things with them on their adventure so they can be prepared for anything the Dragonflight throws at them.
