So after farming
Krol the Blade for some time I finally got
Elixir of Ancient Knowledge!
However with my internet (Verizon MiFi) I am afraid to use it. On occasions I randomly disconnect from the internet for a few seconds before being able to connect again. Usually I am still alive or in combat so all is good there.
I have read here and there that some people have used their
Elixir of Ancient Knowledge and then DC'd thus causing them to lose the 300% XP buff! They say they submitted a GM ticket about the incident/situation and were granted another
Elixir of Ancient Knowledge. (Just hearsay)
I only have two DPS classes to use
Elixir of Ancient Knowledge on, and we know what que times for dungeons are like when you are DPS. Running with the guild is possible in the evening, but this is peak usage time on Verizon's network which is when my connection is unstable. Should I DC after using Elixir of Ancient Knowledge Is that possible I could submit a ticket to at least get the remainder of the buff? (I have posted in the blizz forums I was just curious if anyone on wowhead had any experience with this issue)
I think we can all agree that Elixir of Ancient Knowledge should at least:Persist through DeathPersist through DC
Persist through Logoff/Logout

Not that I'm aware of, Tactica. Our In-Game Support staff is generally unable to assist in restoring items lost due to latency or disconnections.

Persist through death
Persist through DC
Persist through logout
That would certainly help to resolve that type of issue. I'd recommend submitting your suggestions through the in-game interface option so our Developers have the opportunity to review it.
Have you visited our Technical support forum, Tactica? Those that frequent there may be able to help you troubleshoot connection issues, at least to make it a bit more stable during peak times.(##RESPBREAK##)16##DELIM##Sas148##DELIM##

If you go into a hostile environment then you take your chances.
With your internet issues I think you need to re-evaluate your usage of the elixir.
1. Before taking it, load up on quests,
2. Ideally this should be on the first day of the Darkmoon Faire, and load up on all the turn in drops such as Imbued Crystal etc.
3. Pop the elixir and turn in all your quests.
4. From then on you really want to do risk free stuff such as the pet battle dailies, daily quests in the cities.
I use this method on lesser used alts, Essentially you are not in any danger of dying, and you do a few quests a day in a small area, then log off which gives you more time to use the elixir as opposed to riding or flying around a large area and downtime killing or avoiding mobs.

Isn't Azeroth hostile in general? :-þ
Potions no, flasks however do such as
Flask of Falling Leaves which is a much less quality of item than
Elixir of Ancient Knowledge! Along with the other cata flasks!
I have done what the Blue suggested and submitted a suggestion to
at least make Elixir of Ancient Knowledge persist through a DC/Logoff/Logout...let alone
death.
In the meantime I absolutely refuse to use my
Elixir of Ancient Knowledge until I obtain another one as a backup!
