About Recipe: Vial of the Sands

The Recipe: Vial of the Sands is an alchemical recipe that allows the player to craft the Vial of the Sands, a magnificent and fascinating mount, which makes anyone look simply majestic with its golden glow. What makes this mount special, first of all, is that it can carry two people at the same time, allowing you to travel with your friends, or act as a mode of transportation for someone without the flying capability.

The second important thing is the effort and time it takes to craft this mount. First of all, the recipe is obtained from Archeology and Canopic Jar, which means that to get it you have to complete Uldum dig sites and collect Tol'vir Archeology Fragments, which also requires you to first have 525 Archeology. Moreover, the chances of getting this recipe are around 2% for each jar, so it might take a while.

Secondly, once you have that, you are going to need to get a lot of rare materials required by the Recipe: Vial of the Sands and make Vial of the Sands which are:

• 1 Pyrium-Laced Crystalline Vial, which is sold in Uldum for 5000g.
• 8 Sands of Time, which can also be purchased in either Uldum or Vale of Eternal Blossoms, for 3000g.
• 12 Truegold, which has to be transmuted using tons of reagents.
• 8 Flask of the Winds
• 8 Flask of Titanic Strength
• 8 Deepstone Oil

A better way to get the recipe is to have 600 in Archeology, while being Exalted with the Lorewalkers. Having that, assuming you can fly in Pandaria and have finished one dig site in Uldum you can buy a Mantid Artifact Hunter's Kit, which contains Mantid Artifact Sonic Locator and a Lorewalker's Map. Using those two you get Mantid dig sites for 24 hours which will spawn in Dread Wastes and Townlong Steppes. Afterwards, you can trade those Restored Artifacts for Tol'Vir Fragments.

Reportedly, using this method, it is even possible to get the mount within a day or two.
