Elixir of Defense recipe in WoW Forever
Elixir of Defense is an Alchemy recipe. With the beta auction house prices of October 15, 2026 (1 player, test realm ClassicBetaPvE2, Alliance), its materials cost 70s 89c and Elixir of Defense resells for 37s 90c at the auction house after the 5% cut: a loss of 32s 99c per craft. It turns yellow at 215, green at 235 and grey at 255. It is learned from the profession trainer at 195 in Classic (the beta files have no trainer lists).

When does it give skill points?
- Orange 195 to 214: a point on every craft
- Yellow 215 to 234: a point most of the time
- Green 235 to 254: a point now and then
- Grey from 255: no more points
Classic rule: 100% while orange, then the chance falls evenly to 0 at grey. Green sits halfway between yellow and grey, as in Classic.
Average cost of a point: 70s 89c while orange, 1g 41s 78c at the green threshold.
