We've recently implemented a number of hotfixes directly related to guild achievements, flasks, and cauldrons. When first designing the guild achievements, we overestimated the number of flasks that guilds would be able to make by the time they reached guild level 10, and set the number of Cataclysm flasks required for the two related guild achievements to 10,000 (
비비기의 달인) and 25,000 (
나 화학과 갈걸 그랬어). In reality, most guilds have made fewer flasks than we had originally anticipated they would at this point in guild progression, and many players will soon be unlocking a guild perk (Chug-A-Lug) directly related to cauldrons and flasks.
Today, we've applied a few hotfixes to help bring these flask-related achievements in line with what we had originally intended:
비비기의 달인 now requires your guild to craft
1,000 Cataclysm flasks (down from 10,000).
나 화학과 갈걸 그랬어 now requires your guild to craft
3,000 Cataclysm flasks (down from 25,000).
We felt it was important to implement these changes as a hotfix rather than waiting for the next content patch, as many guilds will be unlocking the
perk this weekend. Please note that while the new values are already in effect, the in-game tooltips will not reflect these changes until the next client patch. If your guild has already reached the new requirement, you'll receive the achievement as soon as someone in your guild creates a new flask.
In addition, we've made a couple other cauldron-related changes:
To ensure the
커다란 전투 가마솥 attained from
나 화학과 갈걸 그랬어 feels like a substantial upgrade over the "regular" version, the number of flasks it generates has been increased from 17 to 20.
Both cauldrons now last 10 minutes (up from 5).
If you're unfamiliar with guild cauldrons, here's a quick breakdown of how they work:
Unlocking the Recipes: Guilds can unlock the
전투 가마솥 alchemy recipe by completing the
비비기의 달인 achievement, and the
커다란 전투 가마솥 recipe by completing the
나 화학과 갈걸 그랬어 achievement. Buying either recipe from the guild vendor costs and requires you to have reached honored reputation with your guild and an Alchemy skill of 525.
Creating the Cauldrons: A
전투 가마솥 is a soulbound, one-time use item that requires a mix of 4 Cataclysm flasks and 8 Deathblood Venom to create. When the alchemist places a cauldron on the ground, up to 7
전투의 영약 can be conjured from it before it's exhausted. While these flasks are tradable, they cannot be sold on the Auction House and will be removed from your inventory if you log out for 15 minutes -- just like mage food. When consumed, the flask automatically gives you the most appropriate buff for your class and spec for 1 hour. The Big Cauldron of Battle works just the same, only it requires a mix of 12 Cataclysm flasks and yields 20 flasks rather than 7.
Guild Perk Benefits: As guilds level up, they'll receive perks that affect these cauldrons and flasks. At guild level 10, you earn the guild perk
, which increases the duration of
전투의 영약 by 50% -- meaning flasks from guild cauldrons will now last 1.5 hours instead of one. At guild level 20, the
perk increases the number of flasks conjured from a guild cauldron by 50% (i.e.10 from a Cauldron of Battle instead of 7; 30 from a Big Cauldron of Battle instead of 20). Finally, at guild level 22, you'll earn an improved version of
, which increases the duration of Flasks of Battle by 100%, bringing it up to 2 hours.
We appreciate all the feedback we've received so far on the Guild Perk system, and we'll continue to make improvements to ensure it's a fun and rewarding endeavor.
