Northrend Alchemy Research helps an Alchemist to discover new Alchemy recipes by using a large number of herbs collected in Northrend. It randomly creates 2-3 Elixirs or 2-4 Flasks, and discovers a new Alchemy recipe. The alchemy recipe discovered depends on your skill (higher skilled elixirs and flasks requires the alchemist to have an equal or higher skill).[citation needed]
