Just an FYI for all you folks.&nbsp When an item is limited supply it means that the vendor will only carry one of it. When that item is sold it dissapears out of his window until it respawns. The vendor in question does carry the Frost Oil Recipe you just have to get lucky in getting it since it is a high demand item.&nbsp Best bet in getting is to try early in the AM.

It is pointless to go to this trouble if you are not an alchemist so best bet is to hop over to IF and purchase a potion.&nbsp So you don't bug anymore GMs about it the quest is not bugged or broken.&nbsp

Hope I helped some :)

ok guys if your not a alchemist dont waste your time going to alterac. pick one up off a alchemist or auction house. while your there you should also pick up gyrochronatom it will be requested for the next part of the quest line hope i have saved you some trouble :)

Bro'ken sells the recipe at exactly 38,39.&nbsp You have to get past a lot of Lev. 37 elite ogres.&nbsp If you don't want to fight them, you can come in from the northeast side of Allerac from Dandrel's Fold (the pass is at 45,26).&nbsp You'll just have to fight some non-elite brutes.&nbsp Work your way to a wall that's near 42,40.&nbsp The map shows a tower near there.&nbsp You can climb over the south side of the wall,, and you'll land next to the stone tower.&nbsp Bro'ken is on top of the wall to the ENE of the tower.&nbsp If you hug the mountains to the north you can avoid fighting the elites, and make it to the ramp up the wall.&nbsp (The ramp is at 39,39)

In the time it took me to type this, the recipe respawned.&nbsp Less than ten minutes.

Edit: climbing over the wall worked for my gnome, may not work with other races.&nbsp My undead couldn't fit.

My human priest managed to sneak over the wall some months ago (before 1.12) but my human warlock ran into the famous "invisible wall," with or without her pet. Tried to get in from the hills on many other sides and finally had to face the fact: front door.

She's a 41 and the ogres are mostly 37 elites, so that would normally not be a problem, but for some reason they completely ignored the VW (with all kinds of aggro-grabbing stuff running) and went right for the kid, who is obviously in cloth with only an armor potion (OK, and Demon Armor). Too bad warlocks can't kite. Are these duh-monsters that smart? The trick seemed to be to keep running in a circle until the ogres just had to pay some attention to the VW. Mageweave bandage, rah rah rah!

So you can't just attrit (verb of attrition?) them. It would take a week and 24G worth of repairs. I took out the one on the right side of the main gate (long fight, as above), then snuck in around the right, hugging the wall. No problems. Ramp to the wall where Bro'kin is was guarded by a mage and a brute. Waited until the mage was at the farthest end of his patrol, sent the VW after the brute and ran up the ramp to the wall. Neither one followed me. Bought the recipe and called the VW.

We jumped off the wall to the outside (only -250 damage) and ran. The two ogres jumped off the wall and followed us. We ran down towards the lake. They followed. We hopped a shuttle to Chicago. They caught the next plane. We transferred and went to Mexico City. They had passports and followed us. I've never seen anything like it. At no point in the game have I ever been pursued to that extent or that distance by anything. Amazing. You'd think they were bill collectors.

It was actually kind of weird, in an amusing sort of way kind of like a cartoon. Wile E. Coyote's eternal pursuit of the roadrunner. I was willing to sacrifice the VW (sorry Makhtaz but that comes with the territory) but they never really got so close that it became an issue. They just kept on coming. Will they keep pursuing after I sign off? Do you think they were annoyed that I scammed them? I don't think I'll ever know the answer, but I got the recipe for the potion, so nyaah, nyaah!
