Consumables

Consumables in Forever look like vanilla with two big changes: healing potions moved to First Aid, and world buffs reportedly do not work inside raids. The first means every raider needs First Aid at 300. The second removes the single biggest scheduling tax of Classic raiding. This page is the per-role kit with the Forever changes tagged and the vanilla items marked as baseline until tooltips are checked at 60.

What changed from vanilla

Change	Detail	Status
Healing potions are First Aid	Minor through Major Healing Potion are First Aid recipes. Alchemists only make Discolored Healing Potion.	verified
First Aid extras	Anti-disease poultices, anti-bleed tourniquets, a campfire kit	verified
New flasks	Melee Attack Power flask, Ranged Attack Power flask	datamined
Reputation elixirs	Boost rep gains	verified
Combat potions	30-second effects on a shared 2-minute cooldown: Frenzy (+14 / +40 AP by tier), Mender’s (+28 / +75 healing), Spellblasting (+14 / +40 spell damage), Dragonfire cone, Caustic Smog, Disorienting Smog, Venomous Blood	datamined
30-minute elixirs	Greater Fortitude (+400 HP), Phalanx (+400 HP, +500 armor), Mageblood tiers, stat and crit elixirs	datamined
Mixology	Alchemists get extended duration on their own elixirs	datamined
Cooking	Almost all food gives a stat buff plus small XP	verified

The combat potions are a new decision layer: one 2-minute cooldown shared across Frenzy, Mender’s, Spellblasting and the utility smogs. Pick the one for your role and use it on cooldown during boss fights.

World buffs

Reported not to work inside raids: Rallying Cry of the Dragonslayer, Songflower Serenade, Warchief’s Blessing, Darkmoon Faire, Dire Maul tribute buffs, Spirit of Zandalar. The source is a streamer relaying a Blizzard conversation at the BlizzCon demo (N_Tys in Savix’s session, Sept 13), amplified by a Simonize video. There is no blue post, and the Blizzard forum thread has no dev reply. unverified

Costs

Unknown. Level-60 alchemy is not testable at beta cap 30, so no herb prices, no potion prices, no flask reagent lists are known for Forever. Blizzard said the economy will be actively monitored with tunable drop and consumable availability, and the Season of Discovery resource-box lever returns. verified Expect consumable prices to move in the first month. Do not budget from Classic Era prices.

Gold reminder: riding training absorbed the mount cost and its price is unpublished, and gold buying is punished up to permanent account loss. verified See Transmog and mounts.

Who crafts it

Need	Profession	Guild plan
Healing potions, bandages, poultices, tourniquets	First Aid	Everyone, 300 by week 4
Mana potions, elixirs, flasks, combat potions, protection potions, Free Action	Alchemy	At least one raid Alchemist; Mixology helps them most
Stat food	Cooking	One or two cooks per raid; cheap to level
Weapon oils	Enchanting	The raid’s designated Enchanter, who is also holding the essences
Sharpening and weightstones	Blacksmithing	Any Blacksmith
