New cooking recipes, new potions, new elixirs, new flasks, new arrows and bullets. Know what that means? New pre-raid check list! Below is your “Good To Go” items for killing dragons and undead.

You know what they say, “all end games are 70% dragon.” Be prepared! Dragons are mean.

Food

We’ll start off with a list of various foods you may wish to rock into raids with. Which food you choose will depend largely on what gear you already have. Use these items to flesh out any gaps you might have. For example, if you’re still below the Hit Cap, be sure to pick up some +Hit food. If you’re stacking AP, of course go for that. Etc.

Elixirs and Flasks

Like food, elixirs and flasks should be used to fill any gaps in your stats. You’ll want to mix and match your food and elixirs so there’s no overlap, unless you’ve got a particular stat that is extremely lacking. For instance, if you’re using +Hit food, you’ll want to use +Agility or +Attack Power elixirs or flasks, unless you’re still below the Hit Cap even after your Well Fed buff.

Remember, you can only use 1 Battle Elixir and 1 Guardian Elixir or 1 Flask at a time.

Projectiles

So far, there have only been two “levels” of projectiles added in Wrath. There are currently no reputation projectiles (like Timeless Arrows) available for this expansion and I’ve not heard anything (yet) that would indicate any are to be added. As such, you’ve got three options available to you:

1. You can keep porting to Shatt and purchasing your old projectiles
2. You can purchase new projectiles off vendors in Dalaran
3. You can have new projectiles crafted

If you had access to Timeless Arrows or their bullet counterpart, you’ll find they provide more DPS than vendor projectiles available in Dalaran. As such, you may want to keep a stockpile of those with you for raiding. If you have access to the new crafted ammunitions, grab those instead–they do provide more DPS than the Scale of the Sands ammunitions.

The new ammunitions available are:

• Terrorshaft Arrows
• Frostbite Bullets
• Saronite Razorheads
• Mammoth Cutters

The first two can be purchased from vendors in Dalaran. The second two must be crafted.

For 15 Saronite Bars, Engineers can create Saronite Arrow Makers that have 10 charges (in other words, one maker will produce a total of 2000 arrows) that anyone can use to fill their quivers. Likewise, Engineers can also create Ultrasafe Bullet Machines that will produce 2000 bullets for 6 Saronite Bars and 4 Volatile Blasting Triggers. (1 Saronite Bar requires 2 Saronite Ore.)

Also worth mentioning, there are two new projectile bags available in Wrath:

• Nerubian Reinforced Quiver – 20xNerubian Chitin, 2xHeavy Borean Leather
• Dragonscale Ammo Pouch – 20xIcy Dragonscale, 2xHeavy Borean Leather

Both are 28-slot bags, the first for arrows and the second for bullets.

Putting It All To Work

Now that you know the specifics, it’s time for your pre-raid checklist. As always, you’ll want to bring the following to every raid:

• 20 Stack of Buff Food
• 20 Stack of Battle Elixirs
• 20 Stack of Guardian Elixirs
• 5 Stack of Flasks
• Full Quiver/Ammo Pouch, plus extras
• Back-Up Ranged Weapon

The last was something that I was reminded of recently while venturing through H-Naxx. In true Huntard fashion, I had my bow completely break, and didn’t have a back-up with me. (Thanks, Volley!) Thankfully, someone was able to drop a repair bot, so I didn’t have to deal with the shame of hearthing and requiring a summon back. But, the lesson was learned well. I used to bring back-ups with me constantly, but somewhere along the way got out of the habit.

That’ll teach me.

Anyway, the above checklist should see you through a 3-hour wipe-fest (presumably on progression content!) with no problems. If you’re worried about running out anyway, double the order.

Happy hunting!
