Blizzard Implements Fix For Limited Runed Arcanite Rod Formula - The Burning Crusade Anniversary

Posted 2026/02/13 at 9:55 PM by PopularTopular

Formula: Runed Arcanite Rod

Currently, the only way for players to acquire the formula for the Runed Arcanite Rod, a necessity for leveling Enchanting past 320, is to buy it from a vendor. The issue is that the vendor has a limited stock of 1, which periodically refreshes. Players (and possibly bots) are camping this vendor 24/7 to buy out the stock of formulae and resell them on the auction house for extortionate prices (90g+). I have the money for it, but I refuse to reward this kind of behavior. Blizzard, please make the vendor’s stock unlimited.

Group of players still standing there, same as previous days. I actually did see one pop up but wasn't fast enough to grab it.Comment by munyalolDo you people know this is for TBC server not Retail server?Comment by RoxloxSo much classic experience....Comment by AcrophisWhatever it is, it didn't make any difference to the price. Thankfully disenchanting only requires 275.Comment by NofeartodayyAnything but fixing the BOT issues, but i guess they r 50% of your subs so they cantComment by Mcitra3am 2/14 and the problem still exists.

SUCH GOOD COMMUNICATION!Comment by SwordoseRemove everything like not unlimited on the NPC.Comment by SinRThe Novel Fix:

They added a book by the NPC that you can read while you wait for the stock to come back.Comment by Furydeathfunny they didn't do that for the runecloth bag :FComment by DestacusSo what exactly is this fix because I still can't get the recipe?....Comment by BobbehWufflehas anyone figured out what the fix is? why the wording so vague ... ? why do i even play this gameComment by SawyerMBlackI wonder if they made it so you can't buy the recipe if you're not an enchanter.

Still allows the recipe to be limited, but blocks bots from buying it.

But ofc this is me guessing.Comment by GuruchainI wonder if they made it so you can't buy the recipe if you're not an enchanter.

This is accelerated weeny hut jr tbc. With changes and nerfs. This is a change that should be simple and brainless to do, something the devs can handle.Comment by Shrakk82They should also fix the &*!@ing Auction House !
