There is some new informations about Dragonflight alchemy available from the alpha.

All the informations are coming from those 3 articles on Wowhead :

Combat potions : https://www.wowhead.com/news/combat-potions-in-dragonflight-the-return-of-prolonged-power-327699

Phials : https://www.wowhead.com/news/phials-replace-flasks-in-dragonflight-list-of-all-effects-327695

Fun alchemy effect : https://www.wowhead.com/news/fun-alchemy-effects-in-dragonflight-toxic-consumables-potions-usable-while-dead-327705

TLDR :

Overall :

There is 2 BOP trinkets that alchemist can make. One can have a proc that increase your flask duration by 60 seconds, the other one reduce the CD of your combat potion by 60 seconds.
It seems like all potions and flasks will have 3 ranks, with increased value for each rank.
For the gold making aspect : there is more different flask and phial you can craft than on SL (and each of the have 3 ranks), but we don't know yet how many of them will really be usefull and therefore valuable.

Combat potions :

Not much changes on the way potions works on Dragonflight
There is the usuall potions, with stat increase, invisibility, health, mana etc...
There is also several new and interesting potions that could see some use on raid, pvp, mm+ or just as a niche
There are 2 new potions that can be used while dead
Some potions have a toxic effect : they give you something (like mana) but you lose something else in exchange (like casting time)

Phials :

Phials replace the flasks from Shadowland
They have a 30 minutes duration, and cost half the materials a flask would take
If you drink another flask, the duration is increased by 30 minutes, to a maximum of 1 hour
The Phials seems to be a bit more diverse and unique than the classic "gain X stat for 1 hour" that we actually have
There is also some Phials with a toxic effect

I think that's all the main information from the articles. You'll get more detailled by reading it, and we might have more, or more precised, informations soon.

There is definitely more different Phials and Potions on Dragonflight than on Shadowland. What will be important is how many of them are strong enough and used by players, and how many will be useless and have a low value. We will probably have to wait (maybe several weeks after release) if lower ranks Phials/Potions will be used, or if players will only buy the rank 3 ones.

Also, the Alchemist trinket that reduce the potion CD to 4 minutes instead of 5 could have a lot of values on raid for specific fights (until better trinket drops). We don't know yet if those trinket will be craftable with the work order system, but if it does, it could be really interesting to make some gold.

Have a great day !
region-wide commodity change coming in 9.2.7Racial Perception for Gathering u/Cerms regarding the Drcthyr racial ability - Discering Eye''Increases your Perception by 50. Perception increases the radius of tracking Mining and Herbalism nodes, and the chance of finding additional rare materials when gathering.''

Wonder how much of a deal breaker this will be for gathering toons.Ain't perception one of the new stats we can get from gear?

I supposed that a Druid, instafarming with the shapeshifting and deer form, with perception gear and some add-ons for the routes and nodes it's better than a dractyr with need to dismount and additional perception.

I guess all that matters is how much perception is 50 compared to the total we can have?

I still prefer my guardian druid, deer form, tauren so extra speed, good farming gear and add-ons.Bag Size & Reagent Bagsnew 32 and 34 slot bagsThe new line of standard bags adds another option for the current Shadowlands maximum of 32 slots (not including the prepatch exclusive Papa's Mint Condition Bag or Legion's Madman's Luggage, both of which are unique), along with a higher tier 34 slot bag for even more storage.

Wildercloth Bag - 32 slot general bag.
Azureweave Pack - 34 slot general bag.

With the introduction of quality to crafting and gathering, there will be some additional pressure on bag space due to items of different crafting qualities not stacking. To offset this increase in bag space, we are making several inventory updates regarding professions.

First, we are excited to introduce a brand-new type of bag, the reagent bag! Reagent bags can only hold reagents, following the same rules for what can go in the reagent bank. What is particularly special about these bags is that they will have their own new, dedicated bag slot. In other words, once you get your hands on a reagent bag during your adventures in the Dragon Isles, you will have a large amount of additional inventory space to devote to your gathered and crafted reagents.

In addition to this new reagent-only bag, we are also increasing the maximum stack size for most crafted and gathered items in Dragonflight. Our current plan is for gathered reagents to stack to 1000 (up from 200), and most crafted consumable items will stack up to 200, up from 20 (e.g., potions, Optional Reagents, Finishing Reagents, etc.). We think these two changes will offset the added inventory space that items with quality will introduce.

u/ScrupuleGroup Interview with Ion Hazzikostas.I'm not sure if it have been officialy confirmed before, I think I saw some people talking about it a few days/weeks ago. But it's now official, from Ion's interview.

That's a great news for everyone

Here is the Q/A from this Wowhead article : https://www.wowhead.com/news/dragonflight-alpha-group-interview-with-ion-hazzikostas-release-date-power-327707

Question : When I was on the Alpha, there was something I noticed in the bottom right hand corner of the screen, it looked like we had an extra bag slot! When I was messing around with it, it said that it was called a reagent bag slot. Can you explain what it is and why you guys gave it to players?

Ion's answer : It’s a giant universal profession stuff bag. And it will contain all your profession stuff. Think of what the Reagent Bank tab is back in your personal bank in town. We realized, as we expanded professions, that we have materials with different quality levels and different inputs. One of the first questions that came up in feedback from people on the team was ‘I don’t have any bag space as it is…this sucks. Please don’t give me more junk to put in my bags.’ But at the same time, the whole point of crafting is that you’re taking junk and combining it into better junk. And so the idea was ‘let’s just separate this space out entirely’

Years back, in the past, we used to have profession-specific bags ie larger skinning bags, that was ultimately a bit too fiddly for our purposes here so we’re just going with expanding the inventory, pulling all of that stuff out of your current bag space, and you don’t have to worry about professions competing with the space you want to use for your ger sets, quest items, all the rest.

Are those bags going to have a specific number of slots, or is it like an endless space? Somewhere in between. Not literally endless, but the intent is Big. It’s not meant to be a meaningful constraint on picking stuff up, or herbing, or gathering.The Future of Cross-Realm TradingMr GM's interview with Ion Hazzikostas

Mr GM

With 9.27 comes regionwide consumables. With Work Orders, is that something that's going to be looked at region wide?

Ion Hazzikostas

That's something that we're still figuring out. I think that, regardless, the ability to get in a group with someone and just trade with them or interact with them directly in person and craft something co-operatively is something that will be inherently region wide.

Anyone that you can group with, you can also have craft for you.

With the Work Order system, we're probably going to start off server based and evaluate from there. I think part of the concern is just the sheer volume of navigating the interface, what that experience looks like.

A big part of why we focus on consumables, reagents and other stackable commodities for the region wide auction house in 9.27 is that it's just like - You want herbs, you want flasks, there's thousands. It's obvious what you're doing.

Imagining different listed items with different parameters, that across literally an entire region, that starts to potentially get messy & tricky to navigate, so we want to make sure we have a good user experience before we roll it out.

But, philosophically as people can perhaps infer from expansion of cross realm play, moving portions of the auction house to be region wide. Philosophically, we are trying to move more and more to an interconnected world where what realm you're on doesn't have as much bearing in your ability to experience the game and you're just playing WoW with a community of millions alongside you.
