No longer has a cooldown on the 2.4 PTR.
Unlike most bars used for [skill=164], the Arcanite Bar is created via Transmute: Arcanite, not via Mining Journal. Consequently, you need an Alchemist to craft one, not a Blacksmith or Miner!
There is currently no cooldown on Mining Journal, so you can create all the Arcanite Bar you need at once.
Notably, the Arcanite Bar continues to be popular on AH (as of patch 4.3), as it is required to craft a [item=16206], which is still required to create a [item=16207] used to level [skill=333].
Some of you might be reading through these old comments and get very confused. Procs? Mastery?
Back in the BC and WOLK days, alchemists had masteries - You could choose to become a potion master, a flask master OR a transmute master. Whatever mastery you chose would give you procs when making that particular item. i.e. a potion master would get procs and extra potions making potions.
Arcanite bars have become a pretty good money maker for me, and having my alchemist be a transmute master gets extra procs. 30 mins or so mining around old Silithus will get ~10 arcane crystals which turn in to ~12 bars. Depending on the listing price, that can be upwards of 10K. Not a bad return!
If you are going to be using this frequently, it's definitely worth getting the transmute mastery. It's a bit of legwork to get your classic alchemy up to 300 and then do the quest, but it's definitely worth it in the long haul. For details on how to do it, check out the quest Transmutation Master.
