Midnight Alchemy Guide: Recipes & Knowledge Points

This guide covers all of Midnight Alchemy. You'll find every weekly and one-time Knowledge source, profession equipment, renown-gated recipes, and full recipe lists for potions, flasks, phials, cauldrons, transmutations, alchemist stones, and house decor.

Midnight Alchemy is a significant step up from The War Within. The specialization trees were restructured, quality went from three tiers to two, transmutations replaced the old Thaumaturgy minigame, and a new deterministic discovery system (Camberon's Cauldron) lets you unlock recipes without RNG.

Midnight Alchemy Changes

Midnight Alchemy changed a lot compared to The War Within. The spec trees were simplified, quality went from three tiers to two, and there's a new recipe discovery system that doesn't rely on RNG. Here are the biggest changes:

• Quality Changes - Consumables and reagents now only have two quality levels (Silver and Gold) instead of three. Flasks and potions craft at minimum Silver quality.
• Artisan Alchemist's Moxie - The BoP currency Artisan's Acuity that you got from earning profession Knowledge in The War Within has been changed to a profession-specific currency, Artisan Alchemist's Moxie. You can now only use it for Alchemy-specific recipes.
• Epic Profession Tools - New Epic-quality profession tools are available, providing more secondary stats than Rare tools.
• Camberon's Cauldron - A new discovery system lets you learn recipes without RNG.
• Simplified Spec Trees - TWW had 5 separate sub-trees for each herb inside Alchemical Mastery. Those are gone. Alchemical Mastery is now a simple efficiency tree with Resourcefulness branches for flasks, potions, and reagents. The entire transmutagen minigame (Gleaming, Ominous, Volatile, Mercurial) is gone. Transmutes are straightforward material conversions and mote cycling.

Weekly Alchemy Knowledge in Midnight

In Midnight, there are four weekly sources of profession knowledge, giving you ~23 Knowledge Points per week. This is an estimate, though. Patron Orders require crafting specific items at high quality, so your actual weekly total will be lower if you don't have the recipe or can't hit the quality target.

Source	Details
Patron Crafting Orders (~16 KP)	Patron orders are the main source of Knowledge Points. You will receive multiple orders throughout the week. Some of them will reward you with Glimmer of Midnight Alchemy Knowledge, but not all orders give knowledge points.
Weekly Quest (2 KP)	Your profession trainer will offer a weekly quest that asks you to complete 3 Crafting Orders. This rewards a Thalassian Alchemist's Notebook worth 2 Knowledge Points and resets every week.
Weekly Drops (4 KP)	Each week, you can loot 1 of each of the following items from treasures scattered around the new zones: Lightbloomed Spore Sample and Aged Cruor.
Inscription Treatise (1 KP)	To get a Thalassian Treatise on Alchemy, you need to submit a Public Crafting Order since they are bind-on-pickup (BoP). Treatises are Warbound, so if you have an alt with Inscription, you can craft them and send them to your main.
Catch-up System	If you fall behind or start late, you will receive Flicker of Midnight Alchemy Knowledge from Patron orders instead of Glimmers. Flickers give more Knowledge Points per item, so you can catch up to players who started earlier.

One-Time Alchemy Knowledge in Midnight

These are one-time sources of Knowledge Points that you can collect once per character. Treasures are scattered across all Midnight zones and give 3 KP each.

Renown Knowledge Book

Beyond the Event Horizon: Alchemy is a one-time Knowledge Point book sold by the Voidstorm Renown Quartermaster. It gives 10 Midnight Alchemy Knowledge Points.

Midnight Alchemy Treasures

There are 8 Alchemy treasures scattered across Silvermoon City, Zul'Aman, Harandar, and Voidstorm. Each treasure gives 3 Knowledge Points for a total of 24 KP. These are one-time pickups per character, so grab them as soon as you can.

/way #2393 49.1, 75.8 Freshly Plucked Peacebloom

/way #2413 34.8, 24.7 Vial of Rootlands Oddities
/way #2444 41.9, 40.6 Vial of Voidstorm Oddities

Camberon's Cauldron

Camberon's Cauldron is the new recipe discovery system, but to be honest, I wouldn't even call it "discovery" since there's no RNG involved. It's more of a recipe library.

Each recipe has a small requirement like "Craft 10 potions" or "Craft 5 flasks". Once you meet it, you can unlock the recipe for some materials, and some recipes also cost Artisan Alchemist's Moxie.

Where is Camberon's Cauldron?

You can find Camberon's Cauldron in Silvermoon City, right next to the Alchemy trainer.

All Camberon's Cauldron Recipes

I have a separate guide that explains each specialization in detail and recommends the best builds for different playstyles.

Midnight Alchemy Specialization Guide & Best Builds

Profession Equipment

Epic profession tools are new in Midnight. In The War Within, professions only had Green and Rare tools. Epic tools give the same Skill as Rare, but have higher secondary stats like Resourcefulness, Multicraft, and Ingenuity.

Profession Gear for Alchemists

Alchemists do not craft their own profession tools. Your Mixing Rod comes from Inscription, your Hat from Leatherworking, and your Apron from Tailoring.

Slot	Crafted By	Green Quality	Blue Quality	Epic Quality
Tool	Inscription	Hobbyist Alchemist's Mixing Rod	Sin'dorei Alchemist's Mixing Rod	Gilded Alchemist's Mixing Rod
Accessory	Leatherworking	Chemist's Cap	Sin'dorei Alchemist's Hat	Thalassian Alchemist's Mixcap
Accessory	Tailoring	Bright Linen Alchemy Apron	Elegant Artisan's Alchemy Coveralls	Thalassian Alchemy Coveralls

Renown Recipes

A few Alchemy recipes are locked behind Renown with the zone factions. You need Renown Rank 5 to buy them.

Recipe	Description	Faction	Vendor
Amani Extract	Heal over time	Amani Tribe (Rank 5)	Magovu
Haranir Phial of Perception	+Perception phial	Hara'ti (Rank 5)	Naynar
Rootbound Vat	House Decor	Hara'ti (Rank 5)	Naynar
Potion of Recklessness	Damage potion	The Singularity (Rank 5)	Void Researcher Anomander

Potions

Potions are split into Light and Void. Both have combat potions, but Void potions tend to have drawbacks or risk-reward tradeoffs. Most are unlocked through Camberon's Cauldron.

Recipe	Effect	Source
Light Potions
Enlightenment Tonic	Slow fall	Trainer (5)
Light's Potential	+Primary Stat	Discovery: Camberon's Cauldron

Void-Shrouded Tincture	Invisibility	Spec: Potion Prowess

Flasks & Phials

There's one flask per secondary stat, and you unlock most of them through Camberon's Cauldron. Haranir Phials are for profession stats. The PvP flask is bought with Honor from Mirvedon in Silvermoon City.

Flasks
Flask of Thalassian Resistance	+Versatility	Spec: Fluent in Flasks

Cauldrons

Each cauldron is locked behind 30 points in its respective spec tree, so you need to fully commit to either Fluent in Flasks or Potion Prowess to get one.

Cauldron of Sin'dorei Flasks	Spec: Fluent in Flasks (30)
Voidlight Potion Cauldron	Spec: Potion Prowess (30)

Transmutations

The Mote transmutes convert 10 of one type into 8 of another, but they can Multicraft so you sometimes get more. Most transmutations are discovered through Camberon's Cauldron.

Wondrous Synergist is the new daily cooldown transmute. Right now it's only used in housing decor recipes and both cauldrons, so it's hard to say how valuable it will be. Don't invest heavily into Transmutation Authority just for this until the market settles.

Recipe	Description	Source
Reagent Transmutes (18h shared CD)
Bouquet of Herbs	Enchanting Mats → Herbs	Discovery: Camberon's Cauldron

Alchemist Stones

The Rare version is a basic stat stick from Camberon's Cauldron. The Epic version (Magister's Alchemist Stone) enhances your potion effects but it counts as an embellishment, so keep that in mind when planning your gear. It requires 30 points in Transmutation Authority to unlock.

Magister's Alchemist Stone	Spec: Transmutation Authority (30)
Primal Philosopher's Stone	Discovery: Camberon's Cauldron

House Decor

Alchemy can craft decorative items for player housing. These come from various sources including vendors, world drops, and Delve chests.
