Kommentar von Ormriss

This is a limited supply vendor item. To get it, you must buy it from Bro'kin, a goblin vendor on the northwest wall of the Ruins of Alterac. Many elite ogres are in the ruins, so be prepared for a fight if you under level 50. Around level 50, the ogres are grey and you can walk past them without fighting.

This vendor is often camped and the recipe is on an 80-90 minute respawn, so if you really want this recipe, either be ready to wait a while or log your character out at the vendor.

This recipe often goes for 5-10g on my server, so it's worth the wait to pick it up for a measly 25s. Frost Oil is needed for several recipes, but is more importantly used in a quest available to both factions in the Badlands.

He is located at the coordinates: 38,38

This is located by going into the Ruins of Alterac (Level 38+ Elite Ogres) and going toward the right of the large castle which is located at the end of the path that leads into the ruins.

If you look at your large world map, there is an image of a tower where he is located (looks like a rook piece from chess).

All above info is correct. If you time it right you can get past most of the Ogres up to the ramp that leads to Bro'kin. If you have Ogres on your tail while running to Bro'kin just past him and go in to the hallway of the tower (rook piece). The Ogres are too big to fit so they will stop at the opening and not follow you. You can access Bro'kin inventory (through the wall) while sitting in the hallway close to him so you don't attract any attention from passing enemies (Horde/Alliance). Camped Bro'kin as a Lv 38 Mage for 35mins. Of course he was out of stock when I got there. >.<

You can get to Bro'kin without fighting any ogres - a bonus if you're not super tough yet. Just hang a right before the entrance to the ruins and circle the hill there. You'll see a barricade running between that hill and another, with a tower behind it. You can run/jump/wiggle your way through a gap between the southern edge of this wall and the hill. Once inside, just hug the wall/hill and head anti-clockwise. On the next wall (with the ramp) you'll find Bro'kin.

I got a respawn time of 70 minutes. At 60 minutes I decided to buy the crappy mana potions left behind by the last person (who arrived JUST before me). 10 minutes later the recipe was back. With these things it's often worth buying all the limited items, as some vendors don't restock until they're all gone. I don't know if that's the case here.

Kommentar von Kaynos

I killed him twice hoping to get the recipe but each time he respawn back with the vials only. I guess the recipe is on a timer.

Kommentar von 128391

Well i have been camped here nearly two hours and nothing but a respawn of the healing potions and then mana potions...

Going to try again another time, because i can only read my quest log and sort out my bags so many times before going loopy. :P

EDIT:...i came back 2hr 49mins after I first posted and i now have the recipe...XD

Kommentar von 116782

Bought the mana and healing potions, after 1/2 hour still no recipe. Swapped out toons and brought another to the site, finally 45 minutes after that the recipe spawned alone. Bought it and booked. Suggest that you try for it in your upper 30's or low 40's as you will most likely be stuck grinding waiting for it to spawn.

Kommentar von xstaindx

No wait for me, got it immediately - probably pure luck - @ 12:19am - blackhand :)

Kommentar von 175893

I got to Bro'Kin and he did not have the recipe on him... i decided to run around picking up all the wintersbite and goldthorn in the area and returned to him about 15-20 minutes later... still no recipe...

ran around and killed a few lowbie aliies (I am currently a 60 lock) went back to bro'kin about 10 minutes later and recipe was there...

im not too sure how long the spawn time is... but if someone just got it... you are going to wait AT LEAST a half hour...

all mobs in the area were regular 35-38 mobs...didnt see any elites,

Kommentar von 153385

I've just waited 2 hours for this recipe to spawn .. remind me to never do this again.
Just wondering what Blizzard is trying to achieve with these ridiculous spawn times ...

Kommentar von 226346

i confirm, i had to wait about 2 hours for all stuffs: potions and the recipe :/

Kommentar von Peacecraft

i saw it spawn twice once when i bought it.....and 10 minutes (maybe slightly more) later

Kommentar von darcphnx

On a different note. If you decide or have gotten Bloodsail Admirial - you can not buy from this vendor, as he will be hostile to you.

Kommentar von 176922

FYI, setting yourself to "At War" with Booty Bay and killing the guy will not get you the recipe. I tried it twice to be sure.

Made me feel a bit better while camping him for the recipe though...

Edit: Respawn for the Recipe was about an hour in the end.

Kommentar von 208610

Waited at least 50 minutes.

Kommentar von Nerobyrne

It is a good idea to do the Crown of Will quest chain from the banshee in tarren mill while waiting for this to spawn.
If you're horde, anyhow.

Kommentar von prettyfun

Bro'kin didn't have it for me when I first got there.So,I went at war with him & killed him.Went out to pick herbs maybe 25 mins.Came back,he still didn't have the recipe.Decided maybe I should kill him again,did so & went back out for another round of ogre killing & flower picking.I waited an extra 10 mins this time,came back & he hasen't repopped yet.Total time 55 mins.Currently I'm lvl 64 human dk.Will post if he comes back with the recipe,I think I hurt the little bugger's feelings this time...

Kommentar von 159824

This appears to not be limited supply anymore. I was able to buy two of them at the same time and the item didn't have the little (1) in parentheses to indicate he had a limited number. This will probably make both the recipe and the oil prices plummet in the AH unfortunately...

Kommentar von Ashrok

the mechanic here sucks imo....as a lvl40 warrior i have no problem coming to this npc, but the respawn time seems to be so annoying...its totally random.
Still great recipe-huge impact in my pvp-that extra slow is the true benefit for me(at 40 it causes around 30-50 dmg but idk if it scales with weapon dmg-i ll check and edit)

The best part is the enchant on the weapon looks so cool with that aura!

The mats are costly thought if you aren t the farming guy.-->needs 4 khadgar's whisker 2 wintersbite<--

Also u can make money selling this recipe currently on my server(bloodfeather-eu)is around 600-1000 g(the reason i went to find that recipe),so i advice u to check ah prices and then set to buy it cause as said so long its so frustrating to wait.

Edit: As Blazeflack above says its still limited supply.
Also i found that creating this potions sells quite a lot in AH(Iike 20-30g each)

Kommentar von Kimil

Bought it at 21:28 server time, it had respawned with Bro'kin 19 minutes later at 21:47.

EDIT: It's been more than 25 mins now and it has not respawned again. Timer is indeed random and unpredictable.

Kommentar von Coriam

The Ogres are too big to fit so they will stop at the opening and not follow you.

This is no longer entirely accurate; I took my DK up here and deliberately body-pulled an ogre to the tower hallway. He was small enough to fit inside, however, just as he got in, he 'leashed' and ran back to his spawn point. You may have to run all the way through the tower to force the leash mechanic, and characters with an auto-damage aura (thorns, ret aura come to mind) should turn it off so the mobs don't keep coming.

Edit: I suspect the mobs' sizes were changed in the same patch that removed the Elite tag.

Kommentar von 725176

The goblin vendor IS in fact still at the eastern wall of the ruins. I just purchased the frost oil recipe off him, post patch 4.0.3. 12/10/2010 :)

Kommentar von 146544

For you posters sake, Bro'kin is not at the wall, he can be found on top of the wall next to a tower northwest corner of. Bro'kin is under the over hang of the tower he is next to. If flying there get low by the wall itself as that is the only way to see him from above. Bro'kin sells the Frost Oil, but if you get there and he does not have,WAIT! Wait in the tower, there are no patrol of MOBS that move on that wall, that Bro'kin's is next to. It takes a restock time of about 5-10 minutes. then click on him and buy the Recipe: Frost Oil. Hope this helps, as I got the recipe yesterday.

Kommentar von 805010

Just find the clock tower. The Goblin is on the wall to the NW. You need to stand on the wall to see him. Good posting, all.

Kommentar von error10

Bro'kin's position is unchanged. He is still on the wall at 43.9, 21.8. A very short flight from Undercity if you have a flying mount.

Also, random is random; I've had the recipe spawn a second time in just a few seconds after I purchased it.

Kommentar von 908802

The goblin vendor is no longer at the wall in the Ruins of Alterac as of patch 4.0.3

He is absolutely still available, and is at the location pinned on the map provided. If you are having a hard time locating him, head towards the area marked and /target Bro'kin

If you have the option checked on your mini-map so that your target has a compass around it, you'll be able to locate him. Be warned, that if someone comes along and is "At War" with Booty Bay, they can kill him. So if you don't see him, wait a little bit for him to respawn.

Kommentar von 923358

The goblin is still there! I just got the recipe from him a few min ago. He is still on the wall and it is still limited. He only had one when I picked up mine.

Kommentar von Barleduq

Shu'Halo server, 0315 am. for the last 2 hours I've been cycling the area, pickpocketing ogres, then killing them, in somewhat alternating small circles (just inside the walls) and larger ones (including the cavern and some mining nodes outside the walls.)

I have gotten:

coarse stone x 119
tin ore x 98
wool cloth x58
silk cloth x35
linen cloth x 29
silver ore x14
healing potion x11
instant poison x8
lucky charm x19
mind-numbing poison x3
deadly poison x3
crippling poison x2
lesser mana potion x2
lesser moonstone x2
mana potion x2
greater healing potion x2
jade x2
moss agate
amber hoop of fire resistance
shimmering stave of the falcon
lambent scale legguards
hefty battlehammer of power
boulder pads
shadowgem
and Recipe: Frost Oil x3

along with about 2 dozen greys, mostly weapons, moist cornbreadx3 and mutton chop x15

Despite buying the potions and the recipe, I still came out 2g 24s 52c ahead.

Even tho the recipe hasn't been there the last two cycles, I'm only stopping cause I'm falling asleep. This was a very profitable haul, and I get a ludicrous amount of glee from pickpocketing.

Tho I don't want to know why the cornbread is moist.

ETA: after finishing this I checked the goblin one more time, and got *another* Frost Oil recipe.

Kommentar von 1068084

When I found him, he was not selling the recipe, he was selling mana, and healing potion's on a cool down. I bought them both, then after 5 minutes he was selling healing potion's, and the frost oil recipe. My guess is he only shows 2 random cool down items. if you don't see the oil, buy what he has and wait.

Kommentar von 1131913

This oil is useful for solo'ing Viscidus.

Waited ages to get the recipe on my alchy, but the oil goes for about 150g on the AH, so definitely very profitable. Use it on a lower weapon, like something from Tempest Keep, and melee him. Viscidus is easy solo at 90, and the pet goes for a good sum too. Well worth getting this recipe for that alone.

Kommentar von Barleduq

I picked up a bunch of these during Winter Veil. There are 5 limited quantity patterns in a short area.

Fly into Aerie Peak.

Down in Wildhammer Keep, there's Pläne: Mithrilschuppenarmschienen sold by Harggan and Muster: Schultern des Nachtschleichers sold by Nioma. My impression is that Muster: Schultern des Nachtschleichers is slower to respawn, of the two.

Over past the lodge (the name of which I can't recall) there's a little gnome shack up in the hillside. That's where you get Muster: Eisenfederschultern from the gnome outside, and Bauplan: Mechanischer Mithrildrachling from the gnome in the shack. The LW pattern is vastly slower respawn than the schematic.

Then, over on one wall of the Ruins of Alterac, there's Bro'kin who sells Rezept: Frostöl on what seems to be a very random respawn.

Go pick up Greenchly items (and maybe xp, if it's actually being fought when you get there).

If you can't get a portal back to IF, do the rounds of the patterns again, and fly home from Aerie Peak.

My AH activity is set for at least a few months. :D

Kommentar von 1238705

Soooo.. I'm thinking that they took this out of game.

Kommentar von elaNge

Stand next to vendor -> List name in Other Raids for Flex/Celestials/Ordos -> Get CRZ'd -> Check vendor on several servers in under 5 minutes -> Get Frost Oil

Kommentar von borek921

Just bought it, as people said earlier, the goblin had just mana and health potions, I bought them out and waited 20minutes, recipe spawned just like that :) Good luck.

Kommentar von pancakelizard

Just grabbed one.

If you're using TomTom /map 44.04 21.77. He's not on the floor, he's on top of the wall by the column.

Kommentar von Furydeath

Only camped by like 5 people every time I go check so I dont think Ill be getting it soon.

Kommentar von 858475

Bought it today 01.11.2014 at 12:29 pm. Waited about 15 min. before I could buy it.

Kommentar von Raa007

I killed him, and now his body lies there Bro'kin...

Kommentar von Shanaraen

Can stand at the npc and server hop to check other realms for it, just picked up 2 in about 10 mins.

Kommentar von Blazeus

If the recipe isn't up on your server you can realm hop for it. Save your time :) - Hope this helped!

Kommentar von deliahshadow

Don't know if a weirdly odd chance at luck, or what. Was camping for about 20 minutes, vendor had 1 mana pot on him and the usual crystal vials. Decided to buy the mana pot, not 30 seconds later, he spawned the recipe. Again, could be luck, could not, but hey worth a try :)

Kommentar von MaxWilder

I basically just parked my Alchemist at the vendor and did other stuff all day, logging back in to my alchemist every couple hours. About the fourth time I checked it was there. %^&*ing annoying.

Kommentar von adamfazai

On my server I was able to buy two:
4:58am (EU) Kor'gall
5:28am (EU) Kor'gall

I wait to see if I can buy another one because u can sell this recipe in AH (not BoP)
Also all the Yeti and Ogres around have a chance to drop "Black Tabby"
Which you can add to your inventory or sell in AH for pretty penny,

Happy camping
