Flasks created with Alchemy are a type of elixir. Some non-drinkable flasks are quest items or ingredients used in other professions, such as Engineering and Leatherworking. Some flask recipes may be purchased from various faction vendors and then traded to another character, however they will not be able to learn the recipe without also having the required faction.
Flasks created by alchemists count as both a Battle Elixir and a Guardian Elixir, so characters can only have the effect of one flask at a time, and it prevents them from having other elixir effects. Flasks have a cooldown of 3 seconds, and have a duration of 1 hour. Flasks formerly had a duration of 2 hours, but with Patch 3.1.0 their duration was changed to one hour and the number of flasks made from the same amount of material was doubled. Flasks are different from potions and elixirs in that their effects do not disappear upon death.
Flasks benefit from Elixir Mastery.
Additional info:
- Elixir - Similar to potions with differing effects that have mostly longer durations.
- Potion - Similar to elixirs with differing effects that are mostly instantaneous or have short durations.
