What Are Cauldrons?
There is a new product available in TBC with Alchemy known as the Cauldron. You have five different kinds of Cauldron, including the Cauldron of Major Fire Protection, Cauldron of Major Frost Protection, Cauldron of Major Nature Protection, Cauldron of Major Shadow Protection, and Cauldron of Major Arcane Protection.
You have up to 25 Major protection options available which depend on the Cauldron itself. You need to use a method known as Discovery if you are going to figure out what the recipes are.
This is a brand-new technique to use to learn Alchemy recipes. This is where players are able to learn recipes through combines in Alchemy. You have recipes for Transmutes, Potions, and Flasks that you need Discovery for. This adds a totally random factor to the whole of the method since you don't need to worry about being at max level or have masteries of any kind to use it.
That being said, you will need to use a specific combination if you are looking to find out what the five new Cauldron recipes are. There are 25 relevant major protection potions for each Cauldron, and you will need to use combines of that certain potion and WoW TBC Classic items in order to discover it.
What Profession Should I Choose?

What Makes Alchemy Different in WoW TBC?
Though there haven't been any changes to the basics of Alchemy, there are still a few differences between TBC and retail. Firstly, finding Alchemy via Discovery is something that came about as part of The Burning Crusade. However, this was canceled following Mists of Pandaria.
