Where to get consumables

Sources

Crafted (Cooking, Alchemy)	Most consumables	Material cost
Vendor	Bandages, basic potions	Gold
Auction House	All consumables	Market price
World drops	Rare consumables	Free

Best cost-saving strategy

1. Level Alchemy + Cooking (self-sufficient)
2. Buy mats on AH (cheaper than finished potions)
3. Stockpile consumables (buy during low demand)
4. Use vendor recipes (basic potions + bandages)

Common consumable questions

What’s the best food for leveling?

Spiced Wolf Meat (+8 Spirit) is cheapest and most common. Tender Wolf Steak (+12 Spirit) is best for healers.

Should I carry healing or mana potions?

Both — healers need mana, melee need healing. Always carry 5+ of each.

Are flasks worth the cost?

For raid progression: yes. For casual content: no.

How do I get Soul Shards (Warlock)?

Cast Drain Soul on mobs (gives 1 shard per kill, 50% chance).

Where do I get Linen Bandages?

Craft from Linen Cloth (Tailoring, level 1+).

What’s the best elixir for raids?

• Casters: Elixir of the Sages (+18 SP, +8 Int)
• Melee: Elixir of Brute Force (+22 Str)
• Healers: Elixir of Brilliant Mana (+10 MP5)

Common consumable mistakes

Mistake	Cost	Fix
Forgetting food	Lower DPS	Always have 10 stacks
No potions	Death	Carry 5+ of each
Wrong food for class	Wasted buff	Match food to stat
Vendor sell consumables	Lost profit	AH instead

Final verdict

Always carry these consumables:

Item	Stack	Cost
Best food for class	10	1-2g
Healing Potion (level-appropriate)	5	1-5g
Mana Potion (level-appropriate, casters)	5	1-5g
Class reagents	20	50s-1g
Bandages (out of combat)	20	50s-1g

Best consumable strategies:

1. Level Alchemy + Cooking (self-sufficient)
2. Stockpile during off-peak (lower prices)
3. Use before PvP / dungeons (always buffed)
4. Carry enough for 1 hour of play (don’t run out)

Whatever your playstyle, consumables give you an edge. Don’t fight under-prepared.
