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.

Commentaire de 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.

Commentaire de 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

Commentaire de 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.

Commentaire de xstaindx

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

Commentaire de Thottbot

He's on booty bay faction

Commentaire de Thottbot

It seems that he has a few items that are "limited supply" that cycle through on a time-based manner. For example, when I first arrived, he had some Greater Healing Potion. After a while those disappeared, then were replaced by Mana Potions after a short time of no "limited supply" items available.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Once upon a time a female Ork alchemist went to see her friends in Orgrimmar.
A close friend asked her for a mysterious oil called Frostoil, he somehow needed for blacksmithing. Poor orkish girl had tot admit, she'd never ever heard of something like "frostoil". Indeed she got curious. In a hurry she went to "Thottbot" searching for how tot get the damned recipe. (She felt terribly offended not know that one!)

The more information made her more weird. She crossed Hillsbrad a thousand times I think, just to find that damned Goblin. After she returned without suceed she called her demon horse to ride to the Alterac Mountains.
And again: She couldn't find the Goblin.

But how could she have known, this stupid Goblin is suddenly enjoying the presence of OGERS ? While a little diner-group of perhaps 8 Ogers (elite) was tracking her, she suddenly discovered a bridge to the upper stage of the castle wall. Affliction was high so she had to take this only way out.
BUT WHAT DID SHE SEE ? The Goblin!
She rescued herself just infront of his feet ... an died.

She revitalized just in front of him and could FINALLY ask him for the recipe... But what? It was obviously sold out...
After some weird minutes of desperation and moaning she decided to log out for a while. After some hours she went in again... still infront of the goblins feet... AND she got her recipe :)

And if she's still alive (but the ability of revitalizing makes it quite possible *grin*) she's still having fun with her new recipe :-)

Commentaire de Thottbot

He's a bugger to find.. seriously...

Ruins of Alterac - 38.38

He's up stairs @ the tower, one of those green goblin people

Commentaire de Thottbot

I have bought 2 off this guy now because i know people are gona want them, basically, i got here and there was nothing, not even a slot in his buy window... so i waited... killed an alliance mage and then made friends with it... came back and there it was, about 30 min l8a after killin a few ogres I went back and this time when i bought it the slot still stayed but 5 min later the slot was gone again... So basically I've determined that it does spawn, in limited supply (1) and that often there is no slot for it so just wait and make sure noone else gets it! Hope that helps!

On a wall at the north end of the ogre village.

Commentaire de Thottbot

I bought the recipe from Bro'kin, then decided to camp him until another spawned. I did not buy any of the other potions he sells, and no one else approached him. I did nothing but stand directly infront of him checking every 5 minutes. It was there again after exactly 30 minutes. I then ran around the area gathering herbs, checking back after another half hour to be sure. It was there again.

Commentaire de Thottbot

I am a lvl 31 tailoring enchanting rouge who stealthed my way to buy this and it was so easy. First off sneaking was a breese to get past the elites, and yes he will sell to any class and profession. Then I checked and nothing but viles....kept wow running and surfed thottbot lol. 20 min later there it was...like christmas early. Got this one for a friend but I think I will surf somemore and sell them on the AH.

Commentaire de Thottbot

i got it last night. for none stealth guys: go to alterac ruins and before the main gate drop right, into the snow, where the 2 cave r on each side. follow the lefthand cliff until u hit the altarec ruins outer walls. jump/run over it from left side. there r only 2 mobs needed for kill or pass. i pulled and killed. climb on the wall infront of u and talk to the goblin.
i dont think it is limited supply anymore as i bought it and it turned gray but i was able to buy another 1 for AH.

Commentaire de Thottbot

ok , u dont need to spamm this guy, wont help u, neither log out... as u prob know he got 3 limited items... each 15 min (12.00 .12.15 , 12.30) and so on... 1 of theese limited spawn... and the other dissapers.. just be patient and check in every 15 min ;-) and then spam the hell out of your mouse and u get 2+

Commentaire de Thottbot

yup.. ther he was. cords 38-39

Commentaire de Thottbot

I had to wait 30 minutes to get this recipe, so the respawn time is not 15 minutes. Also I got it at 9:25am server time, so it definatly doesn't spawn at any specific time. Also he makes one at a time, so if you want to buy all three you will have to wait a while because he probably makes them every half hour.

Snuck up to see ol' Bro'kin today. He only had 3 greater healing potions when I got in, but at 3:17 server time the frost oil recipe appeared (plus another 3 greater healing pots). And yes, spam-clicking it will still net you 2.

Commentaire de Thottbot

No, you don't have to be an alchy, I just got it for one of my other characters.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Commentaire de Thottbot

i can only see the vails have been vaiting in like 3 hours

Commentaire de Thottbot

Just took it today.I want to the man at 6:00 in the morning so i was hoping that there will be there... I clicked on him and NO recipe :( I was about to logout and come back later but i decided to look again to him.So i clicked again and ! recipe was there! Took it and teleport.
I dont know how it can be possible after 2 second to appear...Maybe i was lucky :P

Commentaire de Thottbot

so i got th frost oil but i cant find the guy in the badlands to hand it in to.

Commentaire de Thottbot

I'm on a low pop server and neither this item nor the recipe were EVER on sale at the AH (despite being required for the quest Coolant Heads Prevail and to get the three sequels for about 10K XP). Thought it would be worth my while to chase it down and it was.

I found the vendor by entering the Growless Cave area and moving clockwise around the edge of the mountain. There's a hole in the wall at around 9 o'clock where you can enter the ruins without fighting through the front gate. Only 33-34 yetis on the way.

If you're a rogue, druid or have an invisibility pot you can stealth around all the 38-39 elites, but as a lock I still only had to fight three mobs to get to (38,38). You can hug the wall/mountain (still moving clockwise) to get to a platform that takes you up on the wall where he is.

The mobs are pretty well spaced out, they don't run and there are few patrols, so you can take one on at a time and even grind a bit if you're so inclined.

I did it at 41 without stealth. With stealth, you probably can go as soon as you get 200 Alchemy or even just to sell them. I saw the mats on sale (just once) for 2G. BTW, the ruins are about the only place in Azeroth you can get the wintersbite for the recipe, so grab as much as you can find while you're there. It will be easiest if you have herbalism :-P.

The oil sells for 4-8g in the AH (I keep raising the buyout price and people still buy it). Definitely worth your while to spend a couple hours hunting this one down.

Commentaire de Thottbot

I found it without any hitch. I soloed this one at 30 with my Rouge. I went back again and got another recipe and sold it in AH for 8 gold. The potion itself sold for about the same on buyout.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Ran around the edge of the encampment. Had to fight maybe 3 ogres. No problem w 40 mage. Recipe spawned 30 min past the hour.
Camped for another 30 min and no respawn.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Went to the guy to get the recipe so i could make one for a guildmate a few minutes ago. The recipe was there when i came, bought it straight away, used it, discussed the materials with the guildie for a bit, right-clicked the guy again and he'd already restocked it, in the space of 10 mins max?

Guess i got lucky, or maybe theres a set time interval for respawn?

Commentaire de Thottbot

I just picked this up this early afternoon. You do not have to be a Alchemist to buy it, just to use it...it will show up in the vendor's inventory for anyone to buy.

It was not there when I got on at 9:05 server time...I may have just missed someone else buying it. There weren't many people in that area, but a few, so who knows. After 45 minutes the 3 Greater Healing Potions showed up and after 1 hour and 20 minutes the Frost Oil showed up. I bought it for a friend of mine in my guild who is a 200 level alchemist or more. I am not an alchemist, that's how I know that anyone can buy it. It cost 25 silver for me.

I am level 42, but I still got experience killing the Ogres in the Alterac Ruins so I just spent the time getting experience and checking every five or ten minutes until the Frost Oil Recipe showed up. It was worth it.

I told a non-guild alchemist friend about it and he went and it was sitting there waiting for him and he didn't have to wait at all...this was about an hour or so after I was there, so maybe it had just respawned.

The goblin vendor IS at 38,38 as other people have mentioned.

hey! Thanks for the info! Glad someone said u have to wait for it to appear cuz I was wonderin why he didnt have it lol thanks guys! Happy Huntin!

Commentaire de Thottbot

I saw it on AH someone selling it for 80g I was like wtf? So, after reading the info here I travel to Alterac Mountain loc: 38,39 at the wall and got mine from Bro'kin @ 9:44am on 4/7/08 Veleen Server from like 5-10mins of reaching my destination. Not sure how long is between spawn but I guess I got lucky.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I camped him yesterday for about 2 hours and received 5 recipes and 5 greater health potions. I was waiting for the Frost Oil it's self.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

i have camped him for an afternoon but have been logging in/out to as to not waste time

blahhh

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I have been checking him for over a week and he is not at his normal spot! Even have my hunter camped there to check often w/tracking. This is my 4th Alchamist & I have bought from him often in the past, so I know I am in the right spot...anyone know if he was moved, deleted or just lost atm?

Thanks
(I need for my new alchamist :)
NM, he is back, talked to GM today

I was making the circuit around Alterac Mtns looking for ore to mine and I saw this little green head poking over the edge of the wall to the ruins. I went up to the base of the wall and saw a grayed-out merchant icon (the bag with the arrow) and his name. I thought, what the heck, went back to where the wall has breaches at the edges and ran in. Moved around the left side of the City Hall where you fight Muckrake to get the book for that Preserving Knowledge quest and hugged the mountain (didn't have to fight any ogres) until I got over to the section of wall when the goblin was. He had the Frost Oil recipe and two mana potions available so I bought them. I didn't realize he was the only one who sold this recipe. I checked the AH and the recipe (there were two) was going for for 5 gp and 8 gp (buyout). Nice return on my investment. I'll head back there next time I'm scouting for ore and see what else he has.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Respawn time was about 20 minutes for me on Gnomeregan server.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Does anyone know the ACTUAL spawn time on this recipe? I've seen alot of posts all saying different times, I have been camping him for well over an hour now and no drop.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

There is a spawn time on this recipe, Bro'kin might not have it when you are around, I believe the spawn is every 15 minutes. Once I confirm this I will edit this post.

EDIT

It spawns every hour from last purchase, soo if he dont have it, it will respawn within a hour.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Before the patch I could obtain one recipe every 30 minutes... I didn't check after 1.5.0 what the timer is, if it changed of course...

Commentaire de Allakhazam

What are the mats for Frost Oil?

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Waited about 2 hrs this evening on the wall...
they definitely changed the respawn timer - this was on cenarion circle server

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I have been sitting on this little guy now for 1 hr and 10 minutes. No recipe. Only one healing potion, and one mana potion. Maybe it is bugged or at least bugged on Icecrown server... =( I'm getting frustrated.

**EDIT**
Well, he spawned 2 recipes after 1 hr 47 mins of camping him... I literally sat on him the whole time. Maybe time was lengthened?

Commentaire de Allakhazam

These seem to be pretty expensive on AH.
It's worth finding the merchant to buy from..

I eventually sold 1 for 11g after bit of a bidding war..
this is on the Greymane server

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I went to buy this pattern for an alt, and i saw a level 40 rogue afk'd by the vendor, I killed the rogue opened trade with the vendor and loe and behold I purchased the recipe. LOL

Commentaire de EchseKuhTor

is this recipe purchaseable at the moment? Also, can I buy it for an alchemy friend who doesnt have the time to camp the npc?

Commentaire de Thready

Sold by a goblin named Bro'kin in the Alterac Mountains, costed me 25 silver. He is standing on a wall, so you'll have to run up the ramp.

Lots of level 35 to 40 elite ogres patrolling the area so be careful. I had to stealth through and do a death run at level 32.

Commentaire de AllisInWndrlnd

Literally sitting on top of him for over 30 minutes... A handful of others stopped by, so it's possibly someone else grabbed the recipe. Noticed a mana potion he had in stock was gone when I checked him after being afk for 10 minutes, so maybe someone else got the recipe. Bought the 2 greater healing potions he had in stock, but that didn't seem to help. Currently there are no limited items in stock. Hopefully it doesn't take another hour to spawn, but I definitely can confirm this isn't on a 15 minute re-spawn.

Commentaire de jerbearjerry2000

Seems to me that he has several things that are limited quantities. I bought the Frost Oil recipe at 12:32 AM and at 12:42 he put up Mana Potion x2, then at 12:52 he put up Greater Healing Potion x2. Nothing else until 01:49 I got the Frost Oil recipe again. Nobody else approached Bro'kin while I was there. So about 1 hour and 7 minutes between recipes. At that point I waited another 15 minutes and nothing came available.

Commentaire de streathh

Recipe resupplied after 25mins for me (23min and some to be exact)

Commentaire de SpareSimian

Huile glaciale is needed for La tête froide l'emporte toujours (level 37, Badlands) and Un piège cassé (level 56, Dire Maul tribute run).

For the Badlands quest, also bring a Gyrochronatome for the followup quest Un gyro... quoi ?, and, for nearby quests, 9x Perle bleue for Pêche aux perles, and 4x Aile de busard for Ailes de busard grillées. This will save you lots of riding back to the auction house!
