Powerful Concoctions I

Achievements: Powerful Concoctions I, Powerful Concoctions II, Powerful Concoctions III, Powerful Concoctions IV

10.1.7 adds achievements for all crafting professions to craft a certain amount of items. This achievement series is to create 1,500 items under the Elixirs, Flasks or Phials category.

I purchased a variety of Pandaria herbs and crated the various Elixirs from Pandaria Alchemy. These seems to be the best bang for buck. In the end, I crafted an assortment of the following:

Elixir of Peace - Rain Poppy x1, Fool's Cap x1, Crystal Vial x1
[spell=114755] - Green Tea Leaf x2, Crystal Vial x1
Elixir of Perfection - Silkweed x1, Snow Lily x1, Crystal Vial x1

The reason I did not pick one and buy enough for 1500 is that there were not enough herbs on the market that weren't being sold for extortionate amounts.

Always check how many are available on the market. When these achievements release, the market will be unstable due to large amounts of resources being bought up. Be cautious purchasing on the AH as it can sometimes autobuy high cost materials.

At current market prices, here are some of the cheaper crafts that count toward this achievement. Prices will fluctuate, so these may not always be the cheapest.

So I stumbled across an oddity today. On my main, an herb/inscription, I have 17/50 on this. Only thing I can think of is the use of cauldrons may count toward this as clicking the cauldron creates a flask. Anyone else run into this?
