What to stockpile before December 9
Hyjal Summit and Barrow Deeps open on December 9. Raids consume flasks, potions, food and enchants, so an opening adds a demand source for those crafts and the reagents behind them. This is what the recipe set says those crafts need.
New raids unlock December 9
Forever's new raids — Hyjal Summit (20-player) and Barrow Deeps (10-player) — unlock on December 9.
Raiding consumes flasks, potions, food and enchants, so raid openings add demand for them and their reagents. Variables to watch: raid participation and reagent supply.

"Recipes" counts how many of these consumable crafts call for the reagent; "units" totals what they ask for at one craft each. Neither is demand, a price or a profit: no market data exists until Forever opens, and whether players raid at all is the biggest unknown on this page. Vendor-supplied reagents are listed last — vials top every alchemy list by recipe count, and are the one thing here you can always just buy. Forever's campsite objects are left out: the client files them as consumables, but they are placed rather than used up.
