Trivia
- The Elixir of Tongues has existed in the game files since the original World of Warcraft, along with an alchemy recipe,
[Recipe: Elixir of Tongues]. It originally had the description "This potion has no effect until we put languages in."[2] - This item was introduced in response to the backlash caused by patch 8.1.0 breaking the popular role-playing addon Cross RP, which seamlessly provided cross-faction communication for role-players by passing their character speech through special community chat rooms. It stopped working when addons were barred from reading community chats. A thread bringing this issue to the developers' attention gathered 700 likes.
