Alchemy Tip

If you have a bunch of Alchemists, and are doing the Truegold transmutes... the Volatile Air is relatively expensive.

You need:
3x Pyrium Bar
10x Volatile Fire
10x Volatile Water
10x Volatile Air

On my server, the Pyrium is cheaper than the mats for a Pyrium transmute; roughly 300g for three of these.
The Fire/Water sell for 20-25g per, so 200-250g for each of these.
The Air sells for 60g per, so 600g for this.

So close to 1300-1400g.
A Truegold is selling for 1500g at the moment.



If you have additional Alchemists, level them to 485 (which is relatively cheap).
That gets them Transmute Living Elements, which lets you convert 15 Volatile Life (10g per, 150g total) into a random Volatile Element.
However, if you can control what you get:
- Transmute in Hyjal, Always get Fire.
- Transmute in Vashj'ir, Always get Water.
- Transmute in Deepholme, Always get Earth.
- Transmute in Uldum, Always get Air.

This will get you 14-16 (random) of the transmuted element. If you are Transmute Spec, you can get procs on these.

End result, convert 150g of Volatile Life into 840-960g (900 average) of Volatile Air.

Which depending on your server, makes your Truegold much cheaper on the mats, or this might be the profitable transmute. On my server Truegold is 1500g or so, but its over 3k on some servers.

You can park your alts in Uldum, near the Tanaris Flightpath. Use a warlock to summon there if you need to. That gets you access to a mailbox in Gadgetzan.

How often can you do these transmutes?

Truegold and Living Elements are basically on a 24-hour cooldown.
They reset at midnight, server time.
