Elixir of Lesser Defense recipe in WoW Forever
Elixir of Lesser Defense is an Alchemy recipe. With the beta auction house prices of October 15, 2026 (1 player, test realm ClassicBetaPvE2, Alliance), its materials cost 31s 10c and Elixir of Lesser Defense resells for 17s at the auction house after the 5% cut: a loss of 14s 10c per craft. It turns yellow at 155, green at 175 and grey at 195. It is learned from the profession trainer at 130 in Classic (the beta files have no trainer lists).

- Market price per unit
- Sold to a vendor
Source: the beta auction house prices of October 15, 2026 (1 player, test realm ClassicBetaPvE2, Alliance), the same prices as the item pages. An isolated listing (far above what a vendor pays or the item's recent average) never counts.

When does it give skill points?
- Orange 130 to 154: a point on every craft
- Yellow 155 to 174: a point most of the time
- Green 175 to 194: a point now and then
- Grey from 195: 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: 31s 10c while orange, 62s 20c at the green threshold.
