Vial

A  [Major Healing Potion] in the TCG.

Vials are a type of crafting reagent that can be purchased mostly from trade goods vendors and alchemy suppliers.

Uses

Vials' primary use is in alchemy; they're needed for a large number of alchemical recipes, including recipes for potions, elixirs, flasks, and oils.

The enchanting profession uses vials in recipes for wizard oils and mana oils.

In Classic, rogues use vials to create poisons.

Types

•  [Crystal Vial]
•  [Pyrium-Laced Crystalline Vial] (used specifically for  [Vial of the Sands])

Classic

The subject of this section was removed from World of Warcraft in patch 4.0.3a but is present in Classic Era.

•  [Leaded Vial]
•  [Crystal Vial]
•  [Imbued Vial]

Patch changes

• Patch 4.0.3a (2010-11-23): Alchemy recipes now require  [Crystal Vial]s. Deathwing broke all the others because he's mean (or because he didn't want alchemists to carry 5 different vials around with them).
  
• Patch 3.0.2 (2008-10-14): No longer used to craft poisons.
