WoW Alchemy profession: Discovery disabled

A new message is brewing at the World of Warcraft forums, with this latest topic tackling the game’s Alchemy profession. As Blizzard spokesman Tseric explains, the devs have decided to disable new recipe discoveries for the time being:

We have been working on the resolution of a serious exploit in game which has led to certain consequences that we wanted everyone to be aware of. A hot fix has been recently applied to the alchemy profession, with regards to discoveries. For the time being, we have disabled all chance of a discovery, until we can implement the proper fix through a patch , as we can not resolve this matter solely with hot fixes. We apologize for the necessary but temporary removal of discoveries, and are working to have them re-implemented with an upcoming content patch.

For the guys wondering (or those who never took alchemy), the “discovery” feature for the alchemy profession allows users making potion, elixirs, or transmutes top “discover” new recipes during their attempt. Although discoveries rarely kick in (the success rate is pegged at 0.01%), the recipes that pop up are often among the more sought-after commodities in WoW. Stay posted on case the WoW devs decide to announce when they plan to reactivate this game perk.
