Alchemy discovery rate?

Has this changed since the patch? I saved about 700 herbs in hopes of actually learning some recipes ,since i didn't seem to be able to before, and after making about 200 potions and learning absoultely nothing I thought it might be a good idea to see if there was a nerf or a hold on any new discoveries for the time being before i wasted another 100g on imbued vials.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

The discovery rate was substantially increased with the latest patch.

Q u o t e:


Right i know that it was substantially increased, but after making 200+ potions i hadn't learned anything, so i wanted to come make a post to see if there was a hotfix because the rate was too high or whatever. I guess there wasn't any change and i can continue to plug away at it in hopes of finally learning something :D


Let me tell you a little story about an experience I had not too long ago.

I played for a bit on the Test Realm and discovered my first flask while on it. Imagine my own disappointment when we put in the hotfix on the live realms and I realized I would not be able to try for that flask in live until the patch hit.

Flash forward a bit to making something for a guildmate for the first time since the patch and discovering something new right away.

I am no longer disappointed about the discovery on test that I wasn't able to use on live. ;)

Just hang in there and you'll get your discoveries.
