Best Phial Mastery Talent Builds in Dragonflight
The Phial Mastery tree enables you to gain personal benefits when using Phials and contains the best talents for creating Phials efficiently.
Best Alchemy Talents for Phial Alchemy Experimentation
- 10 points into Phial Mastery for pathing;
- 10 points into Phial Lore for pathing;
- 20 points into Phial Experimentation to unlock Advanced Experimentation and increase breakthrough rates;
- 10 points into Phial Lore for further pathing;
- 20 points into Batch Production to increase Multicraft chance and yield;
- 10 points into Phial Mastery for further pathing;
- 20 points into Frost or Air-Formulated Phials to increase skill and Inspiration when crafting your Phials of choice;
- 10 points into Phial Mastery for further pathing;
- 20 points into either Frost or Air-Formulated Phials, depending on which one you missed out on earlier.
With this talent pathing, you will be able to unlock the Advanced Phial Experimentation craft very quickly, which is invaluable for both Alchemy skill leveling and Phial recipe discoveries. Knowing all Phials is important in order to maximize the value provided by Season 2's new Draconic Phial Cauldron.
The downside is that investing so much into future gains from skill and discoveries means you will temporarily be worse at mass Phial crafting than players who invest everything right away on efficiency talents, like the ones used in the talent build below.
Best Alchemy Talents for Phial Mass-Production
- 10 points into Phial Mastery for pathing;
- 10 points into Phial Lore for pathing;
- 20 points into Batch Production to increase Multicraft chance and yield;
- 10 points into Phial Mastery for further pathing;
- 20 points into Frost or Air-Formulated Phials to increase skill and Inspiration when crafting your Phials of choice;
- 10 points into Phial Mastery for further pathing;
- 20 points into either Frost or Air-Formulated Phials, depending on which one you missed out on earlier.
This pathing focuses on efficiency right away, rather than starting with experimentation. Your experimentation efficiency with this pathing is low, but it is possible to rely to some extent on trainer recipes such as Phial of Tepid Versatility and Basic Phial Experimentation, regardless!
It is also great to path into Alchemical Theory / Inspiring Ambience after Batch Production is filled instead of investing deeper into Phial Mastery. That will lead to less consistent results from crafting, but enable maximum quality Draconic Phial Cauldron with lower total point investment requirements.
Sustaining Alchemist Stone receives Phial talent crafting bonuses, making it an excellent craft for yourself and other players if you are heading down this specialization route.
