Cauldron of Major Arcane Protection

Requirements to make a discovery

You must be crafting a potion, elixir, flask or performing a transmutation that was added in TBC.

As a rule of thumb that's anything that is learnt from a master alchemy trainer, dropped from a mob in outland or purchased from a vendor in outland. The only real exceptions are the pre-TBC flasks that have been made available from faction vendors in outland.

Cauldrons are a part of the discovery system. You have a chance to discover the appropriate cauldron by creating the major resistance potions. (IE, creating a Major Arcane Protection Potion will give you a chance to discover the Major Arcane Protection cauldron.)

Discovered via Alchemy Discovery Mechanic through making Major Arcane Protection Potions (the other cauldrons are discovered similarly). the discovery rate for the cauldrons seems to be very high... possibly in the 50% range. most people are claiming to have discovered the cauldron recipes after only making a handful of the protection potions.
