making this trinket consumes your already existent alchemist's stone in the process. im not sure if a normal alchemist's stones would stack if you made another, but i personally would rather not farm for mats.....again.  anyway im a resto shaman on my server and im about 3.5k rep away from exalted hoping to get it tomorrow.  i havnt seen anyone on my server with any of the exalted gear so im hoping to be one of the firsts :O
