Key products
• Flasks (Classic: Flask of the Titans, Distilled Wisdom, Supreme Power - Classic-baseline) • Elixirs incl. new Mageblood/Cleric's/Nature Power/Ferocity lines (Reported) • New thrown AoE/DoT combat potions (Reported) • Transmutes (Arcanite, elemental) - Classic-baseline • Philosopher's Stone trinket (Reported) • Alchemy Lab (camp object enabling on-site flask crafting). • Higher camp tiers reportedly named Mana Well -> Fermenter -> Alchemy Laboratory in the main Warcraft Tavern professions table, functioning as a Blessing of Wisdom-equivalent buff — this conflicts slightly with the camping-article naming it simply 'Alchemy Lab'; both are Warcraft Tavern but from two different articles, so treat the three-tier name/order as Reported, not fully Confirmed (see conflicts).
